Gigiotto e Stefania Del Vecchio Palumbo
Supportico Lopez was born in Naples in 2003. It is run by Gigiotto Del Vecchio and Stefania Palumbo and its main characteristic is that of being the project of two artists and a curator who decided to open a room of their flat to public exhibitions featuring international artists. The project continued to be run throughout the years by Gigiotto Del Vecchio – one of the founders – together with Stefania Palumbo, as a curatorial space for the diffusion of contemporary art. The venture borrowed its name from the street in which it was located, within one of the oldest and most characteristic, as well as most contradictory, districts of Naples: “la Sanità”. In 2008, Supportico Lopez decided to start a new life, moving to Berlin. Initially from the space in Graefestrasse 9 in Kreuzberg and then, since September 2012, within the gallery located in Kurfürstenstrasse 14/b, Schöneberg, the aim is that of being a gallery in which the curatorial attitude is a peculiarity and a distinguishing trait.
