From July 12 to September 14, Loggia degli Abati<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the largest exhibition ever dedicated to his work, Palazzo Ducale explores the world of Jacopo Benassi \u2013 named \u201cArtist of the Year\u201d by Artribune<\/em> magazine \u2013 showcasing all of his most iconic subjects: from portraits to underground music venues, from the most banal everyday objects to fragments of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition focuses on the artist\u2019s recent production, highlighting the key stages that led him to develop a personal, complex, and highly recognizable language blending photography, sculpture, and performance. Through a series of large-scale installations that weave together some of Benassi\u2019s best-known works with previously unseen productions, the show poses a profound question about the role of photography today and its ability to endure and engage with contemporary culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Images are cut, overlapped, inverted, and hidden within a display design created specifically for the spaces of Palazzo Ducale, encouraging viewers to seek their own perspective while simultaneously frustrating their expectations. In an era of hyper-visibility, Benassi paradoxically uses photography as an ambiguous and opaque tool, one that does not simply render the world visible but shatters it into a series of dark and unpredictable visions, teetering on the edge between appearance and disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of live performances held in a dedicated area within the exhibition space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is preceded by an artist residency at Palazzo Ducale, resulting from a call for proposals issued by the Ministry of Culture. The association Blu Breeding and Learning Unit \u2013 winner of the selection \u2013 will create a photographic work during the residency, to be included in the exhibition and later donated to the Museum of Contemporary Art Villa Croce. During the residency, Jacopo Benassi will also host talks, workshops with students, and a public performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is organized by Palazzo Ducale Fondazione per la Cultura
Curated by Francesco Zanot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Jacopo Benassi <\/strong>is an Italian artist and photographer. Active since the 1980s, he began his research within the underground music scene, gradually developing a personal and direct visual language characterized by the use of flash and a raw, instinctive aesthetic.
His work spans photography, performance, painting, and installation, maintaining an intimate and material approach throughout. He has published numerous books and fanzines. He lives and works in La Spezia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
