From 2023 Simóndi Gallery represents the continuation of the cultural research started by Alberto Peola in 1989 in Turin. From its beginnings, the gallery’s attention has always been focused on young and emerging artists, combining attention to the Italian art scene and dialogue with leading figures on the European and International stage. Alberto Peola was the first in Italy to show the work of Botto&Bruno in 1996, Martin Creed in 1999, Lala Meredith-Vula in 2002, Michael Rakowitz in 2006, Emily Jacir in 2007 and Fatma Bucak in 2010. Always alert to new trends that find personal narrative solutions through the use of various expressive mediums, from photography to painting to videos to installations, the gallery has consistently collaborated with artists who have earned numerous international awards and recognitions and that featured in museums, biennials, and contemporary art events.
In September 2023, after three years of shared management, Francesca Simondi continues the research independently: Peola Simondi Gallery changes its name, becoming Simóndi. The curatorial approach continues to develop its research line aimed at promoting the work of artists who, despite the diversity of geopolitical contexts to which they refer, address themes ranging from environmental issues to the interaction between diverse cultures, from political and social tensions to the reinterpretation of the historical memory of places and communities.
