Between Archaeology and Space Exploration: Human agency and ideologies related to progress, buckling in the face of overwhelming natural forces in the work of Juliana Cerqueira Leite

Abstract

Juliana Cerqueira Leite’s exhibition Convergence at Alma Zevi in Venice, brings us face to face with sculptures originally made for her first museum exhibition in Europe held at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples (July–September 2019). The exhibition review is entwined with fragments of email correspondence with the artist between August and September 2019.
