Join us next Thursday, June 13th, for the opening of “Sand Storms in Medio Mundi I-III”, a solo exhibition by Lisa Batacchi curated by Alessandra Tempesti, the start of our “On Weaving” program.

“Sand Storms in Medio Mundi I-III” is an investigation on the element of the earth and its connections within the sky, inspired by the work of philosopher and orientalist Henri Corbin. This intermediate axis between earth and sky is explored through a series of large tapestries hand woven by the artist, in collaboration with expert weavers and textile restorers. The title alludes to the sandstorms along the Silk Road, crossroads of cultures, religions and trade.
