​One hundred artists, one hundred titles, one hundred visions.

"Salon des Refusés - This is not [just] the title" is a group exhibition born from the desire to create a horizon of freedom, where each work becomes an autonomous voice within a plural visual landscape.
As in the Salon des Refusés, which inspired the project, the act of refusal is transformed into possibility: the conscious inclusion of differences, languages, and perspectives.
The exhibition does not impose a theme or a canon but embraces multiplicity as a value.
The works coexist in the space like a constellation of signs, a mosaic of visions that do not merge but dialogue, creating resonances, tensions, and dissonances: the authentic language of the contemporary.
The title itself is a paradox, an invitation to look beyond: it does not define, but opens; it does not conclude, but multiplies.
"This is not (just) the title" is therefore a poetic declaration and an experiment in freedom, a place where art is regenerated through diversity.

From November 15 to 16, 2025, Treviso will host the new edition of Avanscena, an event dedicated to scenography and theatrical costume design, titled Bloom Bang Machine.

Two days at the Teatro Mario Del Monaco, the Luigi Bailo Civic Museum, and the Salce Collection National Museum, dedicated to theater as a social practice and a space for shared thought.

The program includes an international conference on scenography and costume design, with scholars and professionals in the field, a roundtable discussion "Inclusive Languages ​​in Theatrical Spaces," the Avanscena Active Archive, an exhibition of artist posters, materials, and testimonies on the current state of the performing arts, and an artistic project by Cristina Pistoletto.

Avanscena highlights the professions "behind the scenes" of theater—set designers, costume designers, lighting designers, technicians—and reaffirms the public and collective value of the contemporary stage.

I'm participating in the Active Archive section at the Salce Collection National Museum with a specially created authorial poster and a video interview dedicated to the dialogue between visual art and contemporary art.​
