The show CAPOVOLGERE (OVERTURNING) by ABC Ceccobelli (Auro, Bruno and Celso Ceccobelli) will open on Thursday 11 June 2015 at 19.00. Curated by Marcello Smarrelli, the exhibition is part of a series of events celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Pastificio Cerere Foundation and the 110th anniversary of the construction of the building that houses it.
The show’s title, CAPOVOLGERE (OVERTURNING), immediately introduces us to the heart of Bruno Ceccobelli‘s research, which has always revolved around the discovery of new possibilities of reading reality and of subverting the common sense of language. Through his constant discipline of doing, the artist oversteps conventions and offers visions that are never entirely exhausted but rather continuously reelaborated. Born and raised in Todi (Perugia, Umbria), he considers himself a Homo medievalis, in tune with the spirit of artisanal workshops and collective work, animated by a profound love of matter, a passion for technique and a faith in experimentation. For this show he has invited also his sons and long-time assistants, Auro and Celso. Hence the decision to sign the exhibition with both his and their initials: ABC Ceccobelli.
CAPOVOLGERE is spread throughout three spaces of the Pastificio Cerere: the Foundation’s exhibition space, the internal courtyard and the seat of the Mabì Cultural Association.
