In Ferrara, Barbara Pellandra's contemporary art enters the Archaeological Museum

From Nov. 24 to Dec. 9, the Archaeological Museum of Ferrara is hosting the exhibition Angels and Gods, a solo show by contemporary artist Barbara Pellandra that is part of a project of comparison and dialogue between the ancient and the modern in which Attic and Etruscan archaeological finds embrace works made with today’s materials, such as plexiglass and resins. Begun with the photo shoot carried out right inside the Archaeological Museum by photographer Max Angeloni, the project is proposed as an encounter between languages and materials many centuries apart.

“This is not the first time that contemporary art has entered an archaeological or ancient art museum,” explains exhibition curator Susanna Tartari. “The Archaeological Museum of Ferrara itself has already produced very interesting exhibitions. But in a historical moment like the one we are living in where we often read about museums closing and the huge amount of artifacts ’hidden’ in warehouses, an exhibition like Angels and Gods comes to lighten the clouds.”
