Per Barclay, a native Norwegian who has lived and studied in Italy, gets his first solo museum show in his adoptive home. Curated by Civica director Vittoria Coen in collaboration with Oslo’s Museet for Samtidskunst, this selection of twenty-plus works from the past decade will include sculptures and large color photographs reprising Barclay’s signature efforts—tensely suggestive constructions often incorporating glass and liquid. The memorable terra-cotta amphorae suspended over transparent basins are promised, as are at least two major installations realized specifically for Trento. The catalogue will include essays by Oslo’s Karin Hellandsjø and critics Michael Tarantino and Lars O. Ericsson.
