About

Cubitt Gallery presents the first UK exhibition by Neapolitan artist Giulia Piscitelli. Working in the gallery throughout August, Piscitelli will create Contested Zones, a new wall-based installation, alongside sculptural works. Over 20 years Giulia Piscitelli has developed a practice working in drawing, sculpture, video, photography, performance and textiles, including tapestries" with ghost-like images bleached into found fabric. Mending and recovering things that have been broken and abandoned is an essential process for Piscitelli. She appropriates objects as artworks, drawing out more intensely the signs of their former lives. Her work is rooted in the things, emotions and situations that are often overlooked, revealing the harsh realities, the small joys and cruel absurdities in the struggles of ordinary life.
