The Temple of Dreams

Lecce From December 5, 2025 to December 19, 2025

Presentation

Le Temple Des Rêves (The Temple of Dreams) is the title of the new edition of the Visionary Art Show – an unusual and visionary art project conceived back in 2010 by Primo Piano LivinGallery and directed and curated by Dores Sacquegna.
The event combines contemporary art with cinema, theatre, poetry, and music. A living story that brings to the stage twenty-seven dreamers of art brut, underground, neo-surrealist, pop, and fantasy art and their “cult objects” in a production that transforms the Renaissance venue of the Palmieri Foundation into a Cabinet de Curiosités, involving visitors in an immersive experience with the curiosity and wonder typical of a wonder room.
An event that opens a window onto the collective imagination, where representation becomes writing, body, and moving image of the present time.

In keeping with the 17th-century tradition of Wunderkammer and with a direction that rewards affinities and symmetry, the show begins with the presentation of a unique and primitive specimen, paying homage to the great visionary artist from Salento, Ezechiele Leandro (1905-1981), with works from private collections. In order of appearance, the cast consists of two “mutants” and their performances: by Belgian artist Gaka Mira and Italian artist and Dj Miss Grace.

The direction continues with “Cameos”, the cult objects of a group of four world-renowned artists such as American street artist Shepard Fairey, Armenian surrealist artist Gabriel Manoukian aka Gabo, Japanese artist Yajoy Kusama (famous for her polka dot works) and by French pop artist Richard Orlinski.

The world of matter and spirit that animated the collector's vision of the world in nineteenth-century wonder room is recreated here in the dark room with “Floating Worlds,” a review of video animation, interactive art, and auteur cinema by four Chinese artists-directors, Yifan Jing (aka Zorg), Shenlu Liu, Angel Jiaqi Qin, and Jingjing Xu.

The show concludes with a review of the “Enfants Terrible” on display with their cult objects. On display the works by italian artists Luigi Caiffa, Monica Lisi, Gianni Chiriatti, Claudio Rizzo, Maria Luisa Imperiali, Shirin Mohseni-Nasab from Iran, Gaka Mira from Belgium, Marco Riha from Austria, George Sirakys from Greece, Franca Ze from Germany, and Asya Fadeyeva, Yelena Lev, Nicole Martinelli, Sara McKenzie, Lark Pilinsky, Tatiana Yartseva, Victoria Williamson, all born or residing in the United States.
