Donnaregina Foundation for Contemporary Arts - Madre Museum and Gucci present, from Thursday, May 30th to Monday, July 29th, 2024, the collective exhibition The Rest of Nothing, dedicated to the relationship between architectural contexts and the identity and emotional experiences that inhabit them, curated by Eva Fabbris with Giovanna Manzotti, based on an idea by Sabato De Sarno.

The spaces of Madre, rich in references ranging from Baroque to minimalism, host in the cultural heart of Naples a choral narrative made up of installations, photographs, models, sound works, videos, neon sculptures, architectural sketches, and large drawings that interact with each other, starting from an examination of the work of one of the most visionary figures in the Italian architectural scene of the second half of the 20th century, Aldo Loris Rossi (Bisaccia, 1933; Naples, 2018). In addition to him, the protagonists of the exhibition project are the works of Vincenzo Agnetti (Milan 1926 - 1981), Giulio Delvè (Naples, 1984), Özgür Kar (Ankara, 1992), Donatella Mazzoleni (Florence, 1943), Franco Mazzucchelli (Milan, 1939), Jim C. Nedd (Italo-Colombian, 1991), Sara Persico (Naples, 1993), RM (Bianca Benenti Oriol and Marco Pezzotta, a duo founded in Geneva, 2015), Domenico Salierno (Naples, 1967), Nanda Vigo (Milan, 1936 - 2020), Angharad Williams (Ynys Môn, 1986), and Tobias Zielony (Wuppertal, 1974).

The title of the exhibition takes its name from the novel by Enzo Striano (Mondadori) which, starting from the personal events of the protagonist Eleonora de Fonseca Pimentel, traces a portrait of the social and anthropological transformations affecting Naples during the 1799 revolution. The exhibition The Rest of Nothing figuratively addresses the themes explored in the book, which, between subjectivity and history, investigates the possibility of social and anthropological transformations in a time of profound change for the city of Naples.
