Arcane Exchanges @DoubleRoom Gallery

Part of the exhibition Tarocchi contemporanei. Allegorie e simboli visti dagli artisti, opening this Friday at DoubleRoom Gallery in Trieste, will be my new durational performance piece Arcane Exchanges. 

The exhibition, curated by Massimo Premuda in collaboration with Denis Volk, explores different interpretations of the classic tarot deck by modern and contemporary artists, who through the study of the major arcana have created tarot decks which stress social, political, historical and esoterical issues. 

Arcane Exchanges is a participatory performance which invites the audience to interact with the artist, through a series of different actions or non-actions. Each action is inspired by one of the four elements- earth, water, air and fire- which represent each of the four suits of the minor arcana of the classic tarot deck and challenge the participants to make their own interpretation of these symbolic actions, just as the tarot reader does with her cards. 

The exhibition will last until 21st December. For more information visit this Link.
