Sprovieri

Founded in 2000 in London, Sprovieri nurtures a program in all media defined by conceptualism. The artists explore the human condition and anticipate the socio-political changes of today, questioning the boundaries of their practices.

The gallery represents international established artists (Pedro Cabrita Reis, Jimmie Durham, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Boris Mikhailov, Jannis Kounellis) and promotes the careers of emerging artists. A third generation gallery which started in Rome in 1913 showing the Italian Futurism and the Russian Avant-garde, Sprovieri also investigates the Italian Post-War radical practices.

All generations of gallery artists confront aspects of the nomadic experience of displacement, impermanence and homelessness employing a variety of materials from paintings and photography to a collection of found objects. Seen together, the works form a landscape in which the notion of place and identity is articulated in between heritage/origin and the chasing of future perspectives.
