Dominique White: Deadweight / Through the Floods

Collezione Maramotti is delighted to announce the opening of two new exhibitions: Through the Floods, a group exhibition, and Deadweight by Dominique White, on Sunday October 27, 2024. 

Through the Floods is an exhibition on the theme of catastrophe. Built around artworks from the collection’s archive – many of them never previously exhibited in this space—this large group show will juxtapose them, for the first time, with masterpieces of the past on loan from prestigious international institutions. Featuring over fifty works that date from the twelfth century BCE to the present, it offers an asynchronous look at human and planetary disasters, drawing connections between images from very different eras, but also highlighting changes in the general sensitivity and response to catastrophic experience over the course of time. 

Dominique White, winner of the ninth edition of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, presents Deadweight, a body of works made in 2024. After a premiere at Whitechapel Gallery in London, White has conceived a new exhibition design adapted to the spaces of Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia. A thought-provoking exploration of rebellion and transformation, Deadweight comprises four large-scale sculptural works which pursue the artist's interest in creating new worlds for Blackness, as well as her fascination with the metaphoric potency and regenerative power of the sea. 

Visit the exhibitions until February 16, 2025, free access in the following hours: Thursday and Friday 2:30–6:30pm / Saturday and Sunday 10:30am–6:30pm.
