Cross My Heart at New Art Projects was the first time I have seen Franko B‘s work in real life. Comprised mainly of ceramics this is an emotionally-charged experience.
I know his performance work seen on video and was surprised and moved by the power in these objects.
While it’s useful to know something of an artist’s biography, I encourage you to look at the work and listen first.
Brought up in an Italian orphanage and boarding school run by the Italian Red Cross, this exhibition discusses his experiences.
