Caroline Mesquita stars in the second Project Room 2019 exhibition at the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation

The exhibition La Casa dell’Eremita sul Naviglio by Caroline Mesquita (Brest, 1989) opens the second round of the PROJECT ROOM 2019 exhibition cycle, an opportunity to convey the research and production of artists under 40 who investigate sculpture in innovative ways. The exhibition will be on view from September 18 to October 31, 2019.

Guest curator Cloé Perrone has chosen three young international artists who use sculpture within a multidisciplinary practice: Sophia al-Maria, Caroline Mesquita, and Rebecca Ackroyd.

Caroline Mesquita has produced an impressive new sculpture for the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation, which collaborates with the Fondazione del Giudice, using materials that are new in her production, such as stone.

In fact, the work is made of light-colored beola-an ancient stone of Lombard origin that covers the entire surface of the Arnaldo Pomodoro Foundation-and bronze and brass objects, carefully selected by the artist, some from the Fonderia Nolana del Giudice di Nola (Naples) where the work was produced.

The exhibition aims to tell the imaginary story of a hermit who inhabited a stone hut that has survived through time and is now on display at the Foundation.

In this way, the Hermit’s House on the Naviglio becomes a metaphor for a model of life no longer accepted by society: an existence conducted outside the logic of the system according to autonomous rules.
