Greengrassi is pleased to present Giuseppe Gabellone’s fifth exhibition at the gallery. The show comprises new work featuring an expansive, padded fabric floor piece and two pencil wall drawings occupying opposite walls of the gallery.

In each body of work a system is devised by the artist and put into practice in order for the pieces to move from an idea into material objects. The process of their making is embedded in the reading of the completed work. Both succeed in exalting the relationship between material, surface and shape questioning the monumental and the decorative sensibility inherent in both sculpture and drawing.

Giuseppe Gabellone has participated in numerous collective exhibitions around the world, such as the Venice Biennale (1997 and 2003), the Biennale de Lyon (2003), the Biennale of Sydney (1998), the Santa Fe Biennial (1997) and Documenta in Kassel (2002). Solo exhibitions have been organized by institutions such as GAMeC in Bergamo (2013), the Domaine de Kerguéhennec in Bignan (2008), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago (2002) and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin (2000). Gabellone’s works have been shown at various institutions, including the Kunstmuseum Lichtenstein, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museu Serralves in Porto, the Stedelijk Museum voor Aktuele Kunst in Ghent, the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea of Castello di Rivoli and the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Bologna.
