Lawrence Carroll-Keep Looking, presentation of the volume on the first major retrospective dedicated to the artist at the Madre museum

Friday, April 11, will be an unmissable evening, when the Madre museum in Naples will host the presentation of the catalog Lawrence Carroll. Keep Looking. The event will take place at 18:00 pm in the Sala Madre in via Luigi Settembrini, 79, and will mark a fundamental step for lovers of contemporary art, since the volume collects and documents the exhibition dedicated to Carroll, the first major retrospective since the artist's absence, which occurred in 2019.

A journey between art and introspection

The catalogue, published by artem, boasts over 200 pages featuring texts, contributions and images of the 80 works exhibited in 2022. Carroll's creations tell a story rich in research and restlessness, reflecting his cosmopolitan identity and his deep connection with both the United States and Italy. “For this reason, each of his achievements retains the same imperfection as the human being,” underlines the synergy between work and observer, a dialogue that Carroll brings to life.

Meeting of experts

Admission to the event will be free until all seats are taken, and the evening will be introduced by prominent figures such as Angela Tecce, President of the Donnaregina Foundation, and Eva Fabbris, Director of the Madre museum. The contributions of Laura Mattioli, Gianfranco Maraniello and Lucy Jones Carroll promise to enrich the presentation, bringing with them valuable perspectives on the artist's work.

A revealing catalogue

The catalog is curated by Gianfranco Maraniello and Mario Ciaramitaro, with the collaboration of the Lawrence Carroll Archive. Also noteworthy is the graphic design by Damiano Fraccaro, who created a format capable of enhancing each work. The presentation includes the words of important institutional figures, such as the President of the Campania Region, who accompany a rich selection of images and bio-bibliographical apparatus. An event not to be missed for those who wish to immerse themselves in the complex and fascinating world of Lawrence Carroll, where art and life intertwine in a continuous questioning of meaning and reality.
