(VEE) SANTIAGO IN CHILE HOSTS "MEMORIA DE LA RETINA" EXHIBITION

(VELINO) Roma, 13 Mar - The exhibition "Memoria de la retina" ("Memory of the Retina") by Italian photographer Carlo Gavazzeni has just kicked off at the AMS Marlborough Art Gallery. The exhibition, organised by the Italian Cultural Institute and the Italian Embassy in Chile, will run until 10 April. Gavazzeni has always experimented new shooting and printing techniques that enable him to represent Rome in a way that make the antiquities and monuments appear in a state of decadence and ruin. His work has already been displayed at the 54th Venice Biennale and at the 3rd Biennale of Valencia (Spain) and he is one of the very few living artists who have had the honour of seeing their work exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. He was born in Milan in 1965 into a family which had been linked to the world of music for many generations: his grandfather, Gianandrea Gavazzeni, was an orchestra conductor and composer. His mother, Madina Ricordi, is the direct offspring of the family that founded the namesake music publishing company. vel
