The Royal Palace of Caserta is preparing to host a major contemporary art installation in the spring of 2025. On March 20, the historic UNESCO structure will exhibit “Crash,” an artistic and social project that combines sculpture and civic engagement. This initiative is organized by Iconic Art System and features artists Angelo Accardi, Luca Bellandi, and Daniele Fortuna, curated by Giuseppe Loffredo.
A Manifesto for Emancipation
The main work is a monumental sculpture representing a four-meter-high Venus, a symbol of emancipation and gender equality. The sculpture in the Sala Romanelli will be accessible to visitors with the entrance ticket. This site-specific installation is a tribute to the “Black Venuses” and celebrates the history of the fight for equality. Made with a mix of traditional and innovative materials, it combines white lacquered resin, paintings on plexiglass and wood, obtaining a visual effect of lights and reflections.
An Inclusive and Sustainable Project
“Crash” is the first public presentation of Iconic Art System, a platform that aims to connect art to society, creating opportunities for civil and social reflections through art. This initiative highlights the importance of creating inclusive spaces for emerging artists and promoting social impact through art. The project is supported by the Loffredo Foundation for the Arts and Inclusion, which, through a concept of contemporary patronage, aims to support young artists with safe residences. These structures offer a stimulating environment for artistic growth and to address gender and social discrimination.
