Guided tour of CANEMORTO's exhibition by curators Antonio Grulli and Jani Pirnat
On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 5 p.m., we invite you to a guided tour of the exhibition The Painting Race by the anonymous Italian art trio CANEMORTO, led by curators Antonio Grulli and Jani Pirnat.
The group CANEMORTO formed in 2007 within an underground context and adopted strategies of Dadaist provocation and surrealist absurdity, translating them into a hybrid practice that moves between painting, sculpture, video, and performance. They open up the exhibition space as a field of intervention, often targeting points of institutional critique or social discomfort. This position aligns with the programme of the Match Gallery, where challenging is one of the programme lines, as indicated in the gallery's name.
The exhibition refers to the first edition of The Painting Race, which took place in the Alchemilla – Palazzo Vizzani space in Bologna in 2024. There, CANEMORTO confronted the art system of the Arte Fiera with the mythology of speed and prestige embodied by the Ferrari brand and the associated Formula 1 Grand Prix in nearby Imola. This intentional, somewhat blasphemous symbiosis reveals the similarities between the art market and the spectacle economy. A clear allusion to, or parody of, the competitive spirit within the art world is also evident.
Therefore, make sure you don't miss The Painting Race for the Ljubljana Grand Prix!
