The Fondazione Dozza Città d’Arte stages Andrea Salvatori’s solo show, presenting ceramic works that revolve around the motif of rock. The pieces are arranged within the museum’s historic rooms, establishing a direct exchange between contemporary sculptural language and the site’s architectural memory.

Salvatori’s practice merges skilled craftsmanship with experimental gestures: found objects, popular culture references and high-craft elements are reworked into forms that play with weight, balance and visual irony. The exhibition prompts visitors to reconsider notions of heaviness and lightness through a subtle, often humorous lens.

The Sala Armi installation engages with the room’s features and proposes unexpected juxtapositions that highlight the plasticity of clay. The presentation is accompanied by a critical text and an artist book documenting selected works in the artist’s studio and the site-specific intervention.

Born in Faenza in 1975, Andrea Salvatori is a leading figure in contemporary ceramics in Italy. Trained at the Istituto per la Ceramica in Faenza and the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna, he won the Premio Faenza in 2009 and has exhibited in major national and international institutions. His work is characterised by image manipulation, conceptual wit and a skilful command of material.

Practical info: the show runs from 28 March to 12 July 2026. Check the Museo Rocca di Dozza website or contact the Foundation for current opening hours, ticketing and guided visit options.
