FLYING SEEDS - OPENING DAY

 

Saturday, October 4, 2025, 6:00 PM

IL SALOTTO Art Gallery in Como (ITALY)

via Carloni nr. 5/c

STEFANO MISESTI & BENI CHU.  

The exhibition FLYING SEEDS presents fifteen works by the Italian-Taiwanese duo Stefano Misesti and Beni Chu.  

The collection includes works on paper created in Como during the summer of 2025, along with small papier-mâché sculptures previously exhibited by Beni Chu in Taipei.

FLYING SEEDS explores the theme of travel: journeys as explorations of new worlds, but also symbolic journeys into our own thoughts and dreams. It is also the journey of plant seeds, carried by the wind across great distances before settling into the soil to generate new life.

In the same way, the artists embark on a path that connects two cultures — European and Far Eastern — allowing their works to become seeds that give rise to something new and unexpected.
