@alessandrobernigallery (Chelsea, NYC) profoundly explores materiality, ecological reflection, and the politics of waste. In her solo exhibition, Gallo transforms discarded objects—synthetic debris, caution tape, trash bags—into intricate sculptures that challenge our relationship with consumption and the environment.
In a thoughtful review by INES_Magazina editor
@yohannamroa , Gallo’s work is framed as a dialogue between her multidisciplinary background and contemporary global concerns. Born in Rome and raised in the Bronx, Gallo blends cultural experiences, materials, and labor traditions rooted in painting and restoration. Roa delves into how Gallo’s twisting, weaving, and braiding discarded materials is both a creative and political act.
The review also touches on Gallo’s participation in
@GreenBox of
@whiteboxny , a project curated by
@juanpuntes Puntes at
@lpvgarden . Gallo’s installation wrapped salvaged materials around trees, transforming the space into a hybrid of greenhouse and ghost net, further deepening her critique of waste.
The exhibition, which runs until June 29, 2025, offers an intricate look at Gallo’s artistic journey, where labor and repair become metaphors for healing our fractured relationship with the world.
