The SOCIAL DISTANCE exhibition curated by Giuseppe Armogida, is the continuation of a previous exhibition at the Galerie Valérie Delaunay in Paris. Julie Polidoro (1970) presents 14 suspended canvases which will be present in the Fountain Room of the Palazzo delle Esposizioni until 30 July 2023.

The exhibition project was born from an attempt to understand the perception we have of disturbing images found on the web. In particular Polidoro focuses on images of waiting places for migrants and landscapes where the consequences of global warming are visible. In both cases, the absence of space and time is strongly perceived: invisible are the migrants that we would like not to see like the temperatures that rise.

"To each his own place" leaves no room, as Georges Perec says, neither for chance nor for difference. Thanks to painting we extend time, we give space and voice to human beings that we would normally prefer not to see. With painting you go beyond fear.
