PIETRO RUFFO
OCTOBER 2014
Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome
To coincide with the annual Contemporary Art Day in Italy (Giornata del Contemporaneo), the GNAM in Rome will present a site specific installation by Pietro Ruffo. Situated in the Futurism and War Room, the work is a life-size version of a famous World War I fighter plane, the SPAD SVII. Ruffo's sculpture, SPAD SVII, is his interpretation of the highly successful, notoriously difficult to pilot, single-seat biplane fighter aircraft, produced by the French Societe Pour l'Aviation et ses Derives, and famous in WWI for its speed, climb rate, and superior performance. It is a wood sculpture covered in watercolour and china ink drawings that depict stylized natural landscapes, and it directly confronts and complements the other historical works present in the Futurism and War Room.

“Breve storia del resto del mondo” curated by Laura Barreca at Fondazione Puglisi Cosentino in Catania, Sicily, is the most comprehensive solo exhibition of Ruffo's work so far. It will include large-scale installations, paintings and works on paper from 2005 to present, with a focus on work dedicated to decisive moments in world history: from the development of freedom theories in the 18th century, to the long-term consequences of Colonialism, to the raise of the Arab Spring.
