Thank you to Museo Madre for sending us installation views of Damien’s exhibited works and those of the opening from BAROCK – Art, Science, Faith and Technology in the Contemporary Age, curated by Eduardo Cicelyn and Mario Codognato 13.12.09 - 05.04.10.
Barock investigates issues that permeated the 17th century and are still distinctive of our time, showing how the typical themes of the Baroque culture have been revived by contemporary artists. For more information on the exhibition, please visit Madre’s website.
