A Political Exhibition Made of Scarecrows: 43 Artists in Turin Become Guardians of Life
Una mostra politica fatta di spaventapasseri. 43 artisti a Torino diventano guardiani della vita
A group exhibition titled "Scarecrow. Artisti a presidio della vita" has opened at Flashback Habitat in Turin, Italy, curated by artist Alessandro Bulgini and critic/art historian Christian Caliandro. The show features 43 artists who explore the political and social symbolism of the scarecrow as a guardian figure, using diverse media including painting, video, sculpture, photography, and found-object assemblage. Participants range from established figures like Emilio Vedova to emerging talents from Italian academies, and even a three-year-old child named Luce. The exhibition positions the scarecrow as a passive yet powerful symbol of resistance and protection against external threats.
