Jonathan Baldock features in 'Nova Libertatia'
Jonathan Baldock features in the group show Nova Libertatia, a project by The Orange Garden, in collaboration with NERO Editions and produced by Iterum. The exhibition takes place for three days within Forum Studios – Ennio Morricone’s historical recording studio, underneath The Basilica del Santo Cuore, in Rome.
Nova Libertatia, curated by Arturo Passacantando, presents itself as an imaginary temporary habitat where artworks and art practices exist as parts of an intricate ecosystem based on the celebration of freedom of thought and expression.
The group exhibition will also feature works by Meriem Bennani, Lu Yang, Tabita Rezaire, Agnes Questionmark, Miles Greenberg, Yein Lee, Sun Woo, Harrison Pearce, Gabriele Silli and Cristiano Di Martino. The opening of the exhibition, on the 6th of June, will feature a special series of live performances by Eletronicos Fantasticos, Salò and Vipra Sativa which will be held in the adjacent Forum Theatre.
The project will continue throughout the summer with the development of an experimental record edition, published by NERO Editions. Both the exhibiting and performing artists will be invited to utilise the recording studios, creating an album which extends the notions of the exhibition. The edition will serve both as a catalogue for the project, documenting the artworks and expand the curatorial insights.
