Yuval Avital. Con l’argilla dei nostri corpi

curated by Cristiano Leone

From November 6th to December 13th, 2025, BUILDING TERZO PIANO presents “Con l’argilla dei nostri corpi”, a solo exhibition by artist Yuval Avital, curated by Cristiano Leone. Represented exclusively by BUILDING, Avital returns to the gallery space with his second monographic exhibition, following the 2021 project E T E R E.

The new exhibition is dedicated to ceramics and clay, elements presented both as materials and subjects. The exhibition features a large collection of previously unseen works, including new sculptures and paintings created in collaboration with Italian master craftsmen, alongside some of the artist’s better-known sculptures. Con l’argilla dei nostri corpi, he explores the plastic and symbolic dimension of a profoundly human raw material that has become central to his practice.

This exhibition represents a new stage in the dialogue between Yuval Avital and Cristiano Leone, a partnership that began with “Lessico Animale” and has grown over the years through a deep affinity based on a shared vision of the work of art as a living organism, in which matter and thought reflect each other, generating spaces of sensory experience that combine conceptual rigor and poetic intensity.
