the art of paola pivi is often described as surreal and other- wordly and in this, her first major show, it is easy to see why.

‘my religion is kindness. thank you, see you in the future’ is an amalgamation of historical, recent and brand-new works. sculpture, installation and performance art all come together under one roof in a display of three of pivi’s works: ‘interesting’, ‘untitled (airplane)’ and ‘guitar guitar’.
