Until July 20, MA Project in Perugia is hosting Riunione di Condominio, a painting group exhibition curated by Quadro Zero that brings together three names from the contemporary art scene: Hugo Ciappi, Nonno Burro and Pierluigi Scandiuzzi. A show that, beyond its ironic and seemingly mundane title, unfolds as a layered investigation into painting and its spaces of coexistence.

Riunione di Condominio is built like a multi-story building, where each artist inhabits a different level—a sort of poetic and visual landing that communicates, contrasts, and coexists with the others. There’s no search for stylistic unity or rigid curatorial vision: the exhibition is an exercise in proximity, a cohabitation of languages, tensions, and unspoken affinities.

In this context, painting is anything but a closed language. It is a living, permeable space, where walls do not divide but retain traces. Each work leaves a mark, an echo that moves through the rooms like a shared memory. The “meeting” referenced in the title is not just a moment of dialogue, but a ritual gesture that connects different subjectivities—each with its own autonomy, yet all part of a larger whole.

Quadro Zero’s curatorial approach

Quadro Zero’s curatorial intervention in Perugia transforms the MA Project space into a true narrative device: a painterly condominium in which transitions from one room to another become metaphors for living together, painting together, thinking together. It is the collective’s fourth exhibition in the Perugian space, and perhaps the most mature in its ability to make the exhibition space itself an integral part of the artistic discourse.

Riunione di Condominio closes on July 20, and visiting this exhibition within the cultural context of Perugia is a valuable opportunity to dive into a show that frames painting as a shared territory—made of intersecting gazes, breathing walls, and silences that speak.
