Edi Rama

On show at the Galleria Eduardo Secci in Firenze, Edi Rama blends his aspects as an artist and as a politician, reaching a point in which these two fields have become indiscernible for him.

The Eduardo Secci Gallery is pleased to announce the inauguration of the solo show by Edi Rama (Tirana, 1964), artist and Albanian Prime Minister. An atypical political personality, who not only addressed the economic redevelopment of his country, after years of crisis following the collapse of communism, but has done so also thanks to a remarkable artistic and ecological awareness, which has seen him involved in several social, urban and ethical regeneration processes.

 

The exhibition will consist of drawings, sculptures and wallpapers, which unfold in the gallery’s spaces with no break in continuity, bringing the atmosphere of his office in Tirana to Florence, and ends with the projection of the video produced by Anri Sala in 2000 to testify Tirana’s great renewal project promoted by his close friend, Edi Rama. Through these works, one feels how Rama blends his aspects as an artist and as a politician, dilating his art to the political reality, reaching a point in which these two fields have become indiscernible for him. In fact, he has stated how he continues to paint during meetings or work calls and how, at the same time, this acts as a method of concentration and abstraction.
