For her first solo show at an Italian art institution, Giulia Andreani is presenting L'improduttiva, a project that features a cohesive body of new work, with large-scale paintings and watercolours, conceived for the South Room of Collezione Maramotti.
The conceptual starting point for L'improduttiva was iconographic material from several archives in Reggio Emilia, where Andreani investigated the historical and sociopolitical context of the city, focusing in particular on the ideas of internal exile and imprisonment, so closely tied to women’s history.
Andreani’s work grows out of collective memories, fragments of history at risk of being lost, which the artist recovers and transforms into complex pictorial compositions, visual collages constructed through correspondences. The figures summoned onto her canvases, with settings and titles that put them into surreal contexts, present the viewer not only with a series of effigies, but with a new, disturbing look at History.
