The Artericambi gallery is pleased to present “Ex voto”, the first posthumous exhibition in the gallery spaces, of the artist Delfina Marcello. The opening will take place on Saturday, 17 September 2022 at 5.00 pm.

The “Ex voto” exhibition, born from a communion of intentions aimed at remembering and making Delfina Marcello known, will focus mainly on her pictorial production. Through her painting and her graphic line, some of the thematic essences most dear to the artist can be observed, in particular those related to the femininity.

Delfina explores the concept of woman in its complexity and many possible facets: for example in the intimate and familiar one, presented in a series of family portraits and drawings on paper linked to the figure of the mother and using the unique style of the artist; or the one linked to the sexual sphere, illustrated in many comic strips; still the spiritual-religious one with the three Ex voto tables, from which the exhibition also takes its title, in which the artist thanks three women who have become Saints ending by connect herself with them. Even in the only video production on display, Il Bivio (2006), narrating the story of a journey between life and death, between dream and passion, the female figure will be at the center.

In memory of Artericambi’s first collaboration with Delfina Marcello, the ceramic plates used in the Fur-formance performance and its related video documentation made in the gallery spaces in 2002 will be exhibited.
The exhibition is accompanied by a book edited by Ewa Gorniak Morgan and Margherita Fabbri, designed by Lorenzo de Castro, with texts by Delfina Marcello, Elena Barbalich, Roberto Ellero, Ewa Gorniak Morgan, Živa Kraus, Francesco Pandian and Vittorio Urbani.

“Ex voto” is part of the Delfina Marcello 2022 project, inaugurated with the exhibition “Delfina Marcello. Love Accessories ”in Venice, open from 2 to 30 September at the Oratory of San Ludovico, Calle dei Vecchi, Dorsoduro 2552.
