CUORE SPEZZATO E TESTA ALTA [broken heart and head high] by SAGG NAPOLI opens on 26 September at Import Export as part of Warsaw Gallery Weekend.
I've said this before "the things my mind made me see”
But also the things my mind made me forget
So I find myself often
Standing desperately on those pieces of memory, places that are so engrained in my sensory memory
My mind can’t erase
To find my head again I had to trust the fantasies too
I had to have faith that wat wasn’t there yet was gonna be there again
- excerpt from "Cuore spezzato e testa alta” by SAGG Napoli, 2024
The new exhibition – comprising new images, reliefs and poetry – will focus on topics of mental health, body, discipline and the pursuit of excellence. The exhibition will be the third collaboration between the artist and the gallery, after Drama (2021, with Stefania Batoeva) and Progress isn’t a straight line (2022, presented at Artissima in Turin).
