The San Francesco di Montefalco Museum Complex hosts for the first time in Italy the exhibition Conflicts & Identity featuring the works of four artists, two from Taiwan and two from Italy: Annie Hsiao-Ching Wang and Karen Hui-Yu Lo, Frank Dituri and Mauro Manetti. 

The exhibition opens on Saturday, July 5th, at 6 pm, and is promoted by the Municipality of Montefalco in collaboration with Maggioli Cultura e Turismo and supported by the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan, the Taiwan Content Plan, the Hualien Region - Cultural Affairs Bureau, and Good Underground Art Space. It will be open to the public until July 27th.

The exhibition was previously displayed in February at the Zhongshan Hall Museum in Taipei, Taiwan, receiving significant public acclaim.

The two Taiwanese artists, Annie Hsiao-Ching Wang and Karen Hui-Yu Lo, explore themes of female identity and family conflict from a postmodern perspective. 

Through their photographic works, both tend to emphasize autobiographical content, fragments of life immersed in the contradictory beauty of reality, made up of people, situations, places, desires, impulses, and imagination. A visual awareness that does not close in on itself, but presents itself to the camera lens in its objectual physicality and emotional substance, observed from a feminine perspective. 

The Italian artists, Frank Dituri and Mauro Manetti, on the other hand, shy away from the everyday and the banal. They work towards a more poetic horizon and seek through their works a transcendental dimension, a component they feel is lacking in contemporary art.
