Up next at P. S. 1: Gino De Dominicis
On view October 19, 2008 - February 9, 2009
The contemporary art space P. S. 1 in Long Island City will be the first American museumt to mount an exhibition of Gino De Dominicis, the Italian artist b. 1947 in Ancona, and d. at the age of 51 in Rome. The show will will focus on his paintings made from the 1980s until his death in 1998. An Italian artist whose life was shrouded himself in mystery, he was an idiosyncratic figure whose work cannot be categorized as part of an artistic trend or movement. Even the news of his death was suspect; for years earlier he had reported his own demise in a fictionalized autobiography. De Dominicis rarely exhibited in North America. This will be a rare opportunity to view his art first-hand.
This exhibition is organized by P.S.1's soon-to-retire Director, Alanna Heiss, with assistance from Curatorial Advisor Andrea Bellini, and Fondazione Merz Curator Laura Cherubini.
