Artists Gritli Faulhaber (1990) and Costanza Candeloro (1990) are developing new works that engage in a mutual dialogue for C & G, their double exhibition at Istituto Svizzero in Milan. Although Gritli Faulhaber works mainly with paintings and Costanza Candeloro’s practice also involves videos and sculptures, they both share a joint interest in teenage culture and its writings in books and fanzines.

Curated by Gioia Dal Molin.
