Nicolas Guagnini. Farces and Tirades at Macro
Nicolás Guagnini presents over fifteen years of work, in an exhibition freely based on the dramaturgical structure of the commedia dell’arte.
The works are the “masks”, the exhibition space the stage on which they improvise their “farces and tirades”. There is no single theme, no chronological or hierarchal division.
