Alfredo Pirri - Fish Cannot Carry Guns

Commitment to social issues has characterised the work of artist Alfredo Pirri from the outset. This catalogue is the culmination of a project that spurred two exhibitions, a conference, and a new work. The project consists of a series of reflective and expositional episodes that animated the city of Rome, creating dialogues among the various locations and players involved, weaving a narrative and a network of both personal and institutional relationships. The book reflects the project's dynamism, with each episode being the subject of a section containing one or more critical pieces. Pirri's tenacity, creativity, and strength emerge in his unwavering passion for the city and its residents.
