From Caspian to Pink Planet: I Am Here
Campo della Tana, Castello 2126/A
The group exhibition “From Caspian to Pink Planet: I Am Here” will showcase work from three Azerbaijani artists with distinct practices and upbringings, including sculptor and muralist Vusala Agharaziyeva, installation artist Rashad Alakbarov, and painter Irina Eldarova. Agharaziyeva’s Pink Planet (2024) installation project will showcase paintings, a sculpture, and digital installations inspired by 1950s and ’60s sci-fi imagery. Alakbarov’s installation I Am Here (2024) and Pangea (2024), a semi-abstract metal sculpture of the historical supercontinent, will also be exhibited. Co-curated by Italian art critic Luca Beatrice and Azerbaijani curator Amina Melikova, the exhibition will also feature Eldarova's Girls Prefer Oilmen (2013–14) series.
