GENNARIELLO (PART II)
30 July - 19 September2020
curated by Daniele Balice
with Farah Al-Qasimi, Henni Alftan, Alex Ayed, Jonathan Binet, Camille Blatrix, Dennis Cooper, Isabelle Cornaro, Enzo Cucchi, Simone Fattal, Owen Fu, Mario Giacomelli, Rafik Greiss, Hongyan, Shelby Jackson, Thomas Jeppe, Kayode Ojo, Shabahang Tayyari
The inspiration for the group show at Balice Hertling is the work of Pier Paolo Pasolini, but particularly the topics raised in his 1975 text Gennariello: the pedagogical influence of objects (“the discourse of things”) and their linguistic power, intellectuals’ cynical acceptation of history, the conformism of modern society, and the irreversible damages provoked by progress. It is the second show inspired by this text that takes place at Balice Hertling; the first one was held in 2009 in the gallery’s very first space at 65 rue Rébeval.
