Metamorphosis Il tempo della mutazione / The Time of Change

Hatched from a reconsideration of Kafka’s short story “Metamorphosis,” and from a 1931 painting by Alberto Savinio (brother of de Chirico) called Idylle Marine, a number of contemporary artists here explore themes of mutation and transfiguration. Metamorphosis includes work by 28 artists from around the world: Julie Allen, Stefano Arienti, Betty Bee, Luigi Carboni, Francesco Clemente, Mario Dellavedova, George Jiri Dokoupil, Jeanne Dunning, Nan Goldin, Jim Hodges, Massimo Kaufmann, Margherita Manzelli, Raffaella Mariniello, Luigi Ontani, Marco Papa and Pino Pasca.
