Through collage, display at ‘Ajuntament Vell’ breathes new life into cabinet of curiosities

cartell 2021 gabinet de curiositatsThe Formentera Department of Culture is pleased to announce the opening, Monday 2 August, of Nancy-born and Eivissa-based Lila Licciardi’s “Gabinet de Curiositats”. True to the Dadaist tradition, the thirty analog “cut & paste” works of conceptual mixed media in Licciardi’s selection of collages at “Ajuntament Vell” make meaning of current issues by relying on concepts like chance and the absurd.

With the show’s fresh, collage-driven take on the cabinet of curiosities, Licciardi, like the collectors of the 18th century, leans in to the perpetual search for graphic archives and the need to create a cabinet of one’s very own. Diversiform objects, baroque colours, underlying humour and teeming antiques, electronic circuits and bits of old encyclopaedias populate a universe where the past meets the future and reflects on the challenges of our present.

“Gabinet de Curiositats” can be seen at the Ajuntament Vell exhibition space 2–14 August, Monday to Saturday from 11.00am to 2.00pm and 7.00pm to 9.00pm. The gallery is closed Sundays and Monday mornings. A 7.00pm opening has been scheduled for Monday 2 August.
