Demons and Dew

Demons and Dew by Pier Paolo Calzolari, at the Berniers/Elliades Gallery, Athens.

Calzolari is one of the pioneering figures of the Arte Povera movement. His text 'La Casa Ideale' is considered one of the landmarks of the movement. His practice spans painting, sculpture, sound, performance, architecture and video.

In this exhibition the artist presents 20 new works in which he incorporates sculptural elements made of organic matter such as salt, feathers, clover petals and shells.
