the painting has been taken from the memphis brooks museum of art who invited the artist to present a monumental installation alongside an exhibition and workshop. like de casabianca‘s previous interventions the subject has been given a new home, wheat-pasted onto the facade of an abandoned structure within the institution’s grounds.
the work is part of brooks outside, a recent curatorial program that will see the artist install three large murals. since starting the project de casabianca has also worked with the cummer museum in jacksonville (USA), the memphis brooks museum of art (USA), the geneva museum of art (switzerland), the ixelles-brussels museum, and reference festivals as nuart. you can see de casabianca’s new work at 62 E.H. crump blvd through november 2018.
