Venia Dimitrakopoulou. Primordial Future - Sound

The historic halls of the Sartorio Civic Museum and the San Giusto Castle in Trieste will host the last of the trilogy of Italian exhibitions by Greek sculptress Venia Dimitrakopoulou, entitled "Primordial Future - Sound", curated by Afrodite Oikonomidou and Matteo Pacini. For this third major Italian solo show, which follows her exhibitions centred on the theme of ‘Matter’ in Palermo and ‘Logos’ in Turin, the artist is presenting a new selection of works dedicated to the theme of ‘Sound’ together with original sound installations, as the one specifically composed by the contemporary composer Pablo Ortiz for the exhibition rooms at the Sartorio Civic Museum. The itinerary ends on San Giusto hill within the walls of Trieste Castle, an ideal space in which to contemplate the monumental creation Promahones, the artist’s symbolic work currently installed in the main courtyard of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and evoked here through the works from the series Promahones Shadows and the video installation The Sound of Promahones.

The exhibition series is accompanied by a complete bilingual catalogue in Italian and English, published by Umberto Allemandi.
