THIS IS NO SHOW
2025
open studio at NEW FEARS, Berlin
For a period of three months a small group of six artists (Nicola Bianco, Attila Manfredi, Savio Debernardis, Lorendo Deluigi, Madzia Zalewa) has been experiencing the space of new fears using it as a studio. Each brought within it, besides their own personal artistic practice, their energy and enthusiasm, alongside the uncertainties and concerns of this phase of their lives. THIS IS NO SHOW was the final restitution, an opportunity to celebrate the power of sharing and listening.
Being able to rely on a physical space to inhabit, and the support of others is a basic necessity to not be taken as granted need. Acknowledging what the world is going through in this specific time, this experience has become increasingly difficult and elitist.
In an historical and political context that seems to be pushing toward individualism, we have chosen to remember that only through community and mutual support we can truly evolve.
Thanks to July and NEW FEARS for giving us this opportunity.

ETERNAL QUEST
2024
duo show with Quelish at LaRose backshop, Berlin
Eternal Quest is a collaborative exploration at the intersection of spiritual manifestations and speculative metaphors, unraveling within the intricate tapestry of life.
The exhibition space metamorphoses into a sacred meadow, where trolling whispers playfully disrupt conventional narratives. The two practices merge, weaving together layered, multiplying details and mystic symbols left by elusive fortune voyeurs, enticing you to contemplate, explore, and engage in the ornate interweaving of the Eternal Quest.
The journey of the two knightesses unfolds the imperfections and glitches of the personal saga, from which they draw their inspiration. Much like navigating a complex video game where irony intertwines with profundity, life, in all its complexity, is an unfolding narrative - a quest that reveals itself in the gentle brushstrokes of delicate feminine creations against the rugged backdrop of construction for the means of production.
Eternal Quest blurs the boundaries between the 3D world and phantasm, inviting you to participate in the co-creation of meaning. Explore the magic debris of self-reflection, get lost in enigmatic symbolism, follow the mischievous hints, and find yourself anew in this ever-evolving narrative of existential endeavor.

2023
duo show with Cattivissima Silvia, curated by PANOPTICON PUBLISHING, Milan
My hair are growing longer and I won't cut them 'till I'll meet you again...
For squatting003 by panopticon publishing this series of paintings is intertwined with installations by Cattivissima Silvia. Taking over the space inside Elite hair salon, we reflected on the practice of hair care and cutting, the rites of passage and intimacy inherent in it.
MALDUVE
2022
site specific installation on the carousel, for the final festival of UVA Programme Residency, Nizza Monferrato
2021
off-site show at the abandoned village of Scoppio, curated by Federico Arani
Poised on a spur of rock among the Mountains, Scoppio is a small medieval ghost town in the center of Italy. The ruins of the village live today between total abandonment and fleeting incursions of human and non-human presences, giving the place a fluid identity, dense with suspension, magical. Gentle passages from one level to another, structure a series of liminal spaces, an agglomeration of imaginary theaters in which takes place this independent project that hosts a one-day collective exhibition event every year.
