11 January 2012 – 4 February 2012
Blain|Southern is delighted to announce the forthcoming exhibition of new work by Pietro Ruffo (b.1978). Entitled The Political Gymnasium, the show will open in January 2012.
Ruffo’s practice reflects his passionate engagement with social, moral and ethical issues. Through an intense manual process, Ruffo utilises a range of media including drawing, watercolour and sculpture, to create intricate and meticulously-detailed objects.
The inspiration for the forthcoming exhibition derives from his time spent as a research fellow at Columbia University, New York, in 2010; Ruffo studied a selection of American philosophers, particularly concentrating on John Rawls’ and Robert Nozick’s theories relating to freedom.
