Italy's first selfie exhibition also arrives. It is being held in Gallipoli

From June 1 to November 11, 2018, the Gallipoli Castle becomes the venue for the first Italian exhibition entirely dedicated to the selfie: it is #Selfie, which sees its climax in the exhibition of one of the best-known works of the 20th century, Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Venus of rags, a symbol of arte povera and icon of consumer culture. The aim of the exhibition is to recount the phenomenon of the selfie “not only as an everyday gesture,” the presentation reads, “but above all as an element capable of narrating oneself, a new mode of expression of ”popular culture." On display are site-specific works such as the mirror tower, an optical room curated and interpreted by street artist Francesco Ferreri also known as Chekos’art, as well as a space that will allow visitors to participate in a large collective work. Finally, an exhibition of selfies by journalist and “art influencer” Clelia Patella.
