Review: “He Spoke To The Birds”
The birds promised by the title never quite appear. What you find instead, walking through He Spoke to the Birds at Rome's AAIE Center for Contemporary Art, curated by Fanfan Yuxuan Fan, is smoke drifting across canvases, hybrid and semi-mythological creatures, zinc plates etched and soldered, hydraulic pipework. The title comes from Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev's writing on Saint Francis of Assisi, who "even spoke to the birds," and on paper the show reads as a meditation on human and non-human as part of the same nature, drawn from the ethos of Arte Povera. But the real energy of the exhibition seems to be buried in the matter itself, as a repository of memory.
