This art catalog documents the solo exhibition of Ioannis Melanitis, one of the most important and experimental contemporary Greek artists.
Spread across two venues, the Padiglione dei Solinghi at Villa della Regina and the Library of the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, the exhibition presents oil paintings and digital sculptures that stage a dialogue between architectural heritage, the history of philosophy, and the history of art; and transgenic butterflies that dialogue with books and ancient taxidermy.
Curated by Roberto Mastroianni, Sara Lyla Mantica, Valeria Amalfitano, and Alessandro Botta, the exhibition aims to reflect on the relationship between humanity and nature and nature and culture and the transformations brought about by digital technologies and the biotechnological revolution.
