Verified profile


After his recent solo exhibition at the gallery Öktem Aykut in Istanbul, Francesco Albano is planning an ambitious intervention in Palermo - the city where he has been residing for seven years, after a long journey between Istanbul and South America - marking his second solo show in the city at the space of l'Ascensore.

Continuing his investigation on the deformed body, where the legs become an emblem of a physical and conceptual exceptionality capable of oscillating between play and imposition, freedom and authority, Albano, with the exhibition The Weakest, Most Insignificant Wind is a Tornado, articulates a pervasive thought rooted in the fragility of certainties, the inability to govern one's inner and social dimension, and the unresolved tension between the individual and authoritarian structure, whose intertwining manifests in unexpected forms.

If with the exhibition Banks of River in Istanbul the artist investigated soccer as a narrative device and metaphor for power and control dynamics, at L'Ascensore he explores instead how certain experiences and tensions of the present, although originating from fragile individual cracks, can expand into collective drifts, transforming into turbulences capable of both destruction and metamorphosis, in a constant oscillation between vulnerability and latent power.
