Sharing a specifically feminine energy, they are three generations of contemporary artists, whose work moves basically in the realm of installations, performance, photography and video

Viana Conti writes: "Meeting the  to so-called Bad Girls of art history at the gallery, is not intended as a follow up in the glamorous formula of a music compilation, an erotic  movie, the  attraction of a television series, an uninhibited literary thrust ... but wants to give vision to a self-ironic  provocation, which is historically and visually well designed by the two galleries’ directors Caterina Gualco, very active since the  seventies, and Clelia Belgrado from the  next generation, interested in the history and contemporaneity of the photographic language. Women, usually the object of representation, here finally become the subject: while now taking the liberty to turn to any other  interest, women find an ontological representation in which their image will not cease to gradually light up an inner reality still obscure: their own. This feminine multimedia exhibition, a little 'anarchic, a little' teasing, certainly politically incorrect, spans from the forties to today. "

And our Bad Girls could all say together with Mae West:-  the standard-bearer of the bad girls -: «When I’m good, I’m very good, but when I’m bad, I’ better ».
  
The catalogue, with an essay by  Viana Conti will be  available at the galleries.
