Arte Domiciliata 2026 — Trame dell'interiorità

When art becomes domestic

In Jesi, in the heart of the Marche region, contemporary art leaves museums and galleries to return to a more intimate space: the home. This is the radical and simple idea behind the Arte Domiciliata project, conceived by the architect and sculptor from Jesi, Giancarlo Ercoli, who opens his house-studio at Via Mura Orientali 4, in the historic center of the Municipality of Jesi, to host exhibitions, meetings, and dialogues between artworks and visitors. The "Trame dell'interiorità" stop is one of the events in the project's 2026 calendar.

A dialogue between sculpture and poetry

The heart of the exhibition is the encounter between Giancarlo Ercoli's plastic and visual research and the poetic word of Gabriella Cinti. The artist's sculptures, made with materials such as metal wires, gauze, papers, and photographic fragments, translate themes such as absence, desire, and memory into plastic form. The works resonate with verses from Gabriella Cinti's collection Prima, generating an intimate correspondence between the two forms of expression.

Among the titles of the exhibited works are Il luogo della verità, Mi sei apparsa, La strada di dentro, Primavera di Persefone, Bramito di luce, L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle, and Resurrezione minore: a journey that invites viewers to look closely at the artwork, in direct relation between creation, word, memory, and gaze.

The house-studio as a meeting space

The project stems from a precise idea: to remove the artwork from the neutrality of conventional exhibition spaces to restore it to a closer, more intimate, and relational dimension. The artist's house-studio thus becomes not a simple container, but a living environment, a place for meeting, listening, and passage where art can be approached without distance. A model that Ercoli borrowed from Northern European practices and which has found its own form in Jesi.

The roots of the project

The origins of Arte Domiciliata date back to 2019, when Ercoli organized the first solo exhibitions in his own home, giving life to the "Domus Ercoli" initiative. After the pause imposed by the pandemic, the project resumed and has consolidated itself as one of the most original proposals on the Jesi cultural scene, capable of bringing contemporary art directly within the walls of a historic center home, in the Marche region.

Critical texts and organization

The exhibition is accompanied by critical texts by Andrea Carnevali and Fabio Sebastiani, with an introductory note by Gianfranco Ercoli and a institutional greeting from the Councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Jesi. Admission is free for all opening days.
