Abraham Cruzvillegas will participate in The Orobie Biennial with a new site-specific installation for the outdoor spaces of the Fondazione Dalmine, opening on Saturday 4 October.

The work, made with the participation of a number of communities from the Bergamo plain, uses everyday objects and waste materials sourced across the region to explore—often ironically—notions of progress linked to the industrial imaginary.

Cruzvillegas’ project will close the fifth and final cycle of the Biennial, presented by GAMeC – Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo, under the artistic direction of Lorenzo Giusti.
