“Wanderwege
i sentieri epici di Antonio Barberi”
Solo Exhibition at CUBO Parma
First MERCANTE OFF
Fringe Event Mercanteinfiera
When the fair steps out into the city
For the first time, Mercanteinfiera leaves the exhibition halls and comes into the heart of Parma and its territory. Wanderwege – The Epic Paths of Antonio Barberi is the first event of MERCANTE OFF, a fringe programme conceived, created and curated by Studio SdR Art Communication.
Studio SdR imagined the project, built it from the ground up and brought together the institutions and partners that made it possible: from the concept to the curatorial direction, from the partnerships to the communication strategy. The result is an achievement few thought possible: a joint patronage of Regione Emilia-Romagna and the Comune di Pietrasanta, uniting two territories and two cultural traditions around one exhibition.
The exhibition
Hosted at CUBO Parma, in the Galleria Bianca, the solo exhibition follows the winding, visionary paths of Antonio Barberi's painting, inviting visitors to wander through figures, memories and imagined landscapes.
