On view in the West 24 Street gallery will be a new site-specific installation by Italian artist Piero Golia. Working in a variety of media, Golia's sculptural installations create a tension between the realm of possibility and the unimaginable. In his works, the artist attempts to build and refute his own legend through, at times, the participation of the audience. For example, he convinced a young woman whom he met in a brief encounter to tattoo an image of himself on her back. Once she agreed, her tattoo was photographed and exhibited in a larger-than-life gallery installation. The artist, who lives and works in Naples, Italy has participated in international solo and group exhibitions including the 2002 Prague Biennale, Tirana Biennale 2002, Villa Medici Academy in Rome, and Artist Space, New York.
