May 31, 2022 - CEMENTO
Welcome to the latest edition of The Concretely Newsletter 🔲. The Newsletter arrives on trash day, and this week trash was delayed by a day - but here we are!
Selected events & exhibitions
Cemento
Marcello Silvestre 🔲 in multiple galleries in Naples, Italy - till Sep 30.
“CONCRETE. The catharsis of matter is Marcello Silvestre's solo show who questions the memory of man through his own experience and translates it into sculpture, according to an imaginative and surprising relationship with form and space. Genesis and development, concealment and revelation are some key elements to get in touch with Silvestre's poetics and to understand the dynamics of that cathartic process that the artist entrusts to a material such as concrete and to the geometrical force of three-dimensionality.”
En attendant Balthazar
Max Coulon 🔲 in the Galerie du Crous in Paris, France - till Jun 4.

Rodrigo Sassi
Profile: Rodrigo Sassi 🔲 (Brazil)
“Rodrigo Sassi’s sculptures condense different constructive trends in one single piece. Using raw materials borrowed from construction sites, the artist creates forms in space that go beyond the construction industry vocabulary: the veneer and the cement used to build beams or columns gain a meandering lightness in the artist’s three-dimensional works.”
