Il Rivellino (Via Al Castello 1, 6600 Locarno, Switzerland)
April 15 - May 15, 2022

Chambers Fine Art is a gallery specializing in contemporary Chinese art founded in New York in 2000. From the mid-1980s onwards in China the growing awareness of international trends in contemporary art resulted in a great deal of daring experimental work that was promptly recognized in the west and began to appear in such international exhibitions as the Venice Biennale and documenta. Recognizing that there was an opportunity to make this work more widely available to a Western audience, Christophe W. Mao opened his gallery in the Chelsea district of New York in 2000, one of the first to have this particular focus. Twenty years later it is a particular pleasure to be able to use the premises of Il Rivellino, the lower level of which has been attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and his work on the fortifications of the Castello Visconteo, Locarno.
