URPFLANZE, la natura dell’idea

The exhibition originates from the crucial principles of the studies by J.W. Goethe which are in the main expressed in the text titled The Metamorphosis of Plants published in 1790 treating his reflections regarding the relationship that man establishes with nature. In fact, it was during Goethe's botanical studies that he discovered that inside the infinite variety and multiplicity of nature there is a unitary and primogenial element. Goethe believed that all plant forms can be derived from a sole plant, an original plant, made up of few, infinitely changeable and duplicable elements. The primordial plant, the Urpflanze as Goethe termed it, allows us to create a synthesis between the individual and the universe, between the sensitive and the ideal, allowing...

Man, Forgotten | Alec Von Bargen

For this series, incisively titled: Man, Forgotten (Uomo, Dimenticato) presented at the 56th Venice Biennale, artist Alec Von Bargen identifies himself as a contemporary Hamlet, placing himself in an autobiographical manner through an intimate, personal dialogue of speculative growth. In his eternal wandering, Alec von Bargen has always placed the human being at the center of his artistic research: from his series “The long walk home” exhibited at the 54th Venice Biennale which brought light to the ever current discussion about refugees and displacement; subsequently in his series “Veritas Feminae” – shown in numerous museums and galleries worldwide - he gave voice – always through his strong images full of tension – to ‘marginalized’ women, touching even upon archetypal figures....

I’ll be your mirror | Domenico Grenci

In an almost obsessive investigation treating the female face in all of its variations and differences, Grenci represents its irreducible variety, its uniqueness and its constant fascination, irrespective of the manipulations carried out by cosmetics which at times hide its intimate truth and authenticity. The figures portrayed by Domenico Grenci fluctuate within a dimension that lies outside of time, lacking any sort of material and contingent reference. The scene on which they insist is emptiness, void of whatever spatial or temporal allusion, magnetically lived in by the woman. Grenci's female faces appear to surface from an old photograph, one corroded by time. It's the bitumen, a poor and paradoxically heavy material, that creates an effect of indefinite and incomplete estrangement,...

Cuts | Hubert Kostner

In his mostly small sculptures and paintings, Hubert Kostner proceeds from the landscapes of his immediate environment and deviates from them in many different ways. The artist often takes photographs of found pieces of wood and combines them with en miniature architectonic elements to give the impression of mountain scenes with a hotel or a belvedere. A glance focuses on works whose presentation may seem quite cliché-like; a second glance reveals contrasts and ruptures. This ironic dimension may then induce the spectator o indulge in a critical dilemma. Surely the artist wants to criticize, to draw attention to a certain situation that scares him and puts him off. Disputable, however, is whether or not he believes he can bring about a...

L’era successiva | Mariella Bettineschi

The work by Mariella Bettineschi stands out due to its continuous search for new forms, new techniques and new languages. The Next Era is the title that accompanies a faceted body of photographs. In the words of the artist: "The Next Era project was conceived in 2008 when the economic crisis overturned all of the parameters, our judgement yardsticks and terms of comparison, marking a both profound and definitive change with respect to the past". As in a stage setting, in this exhibition Bettineschi contrasts and compares images of woods, ponds and landscapes, made evanescent by 'breaths' of emptiness and gaseous mists, with portraits of women by Raphael, Palma il Vecchio, Leonardo, Titian, Caravaggio and Bronzino. Inspired by these Renaissance women the...

New Borders | Leonida de filippi

The exhibiton encompasses Leonida De Filippi’s paintings and sculptures with a view to showing the artist’s reflection on the relationship between man and a new idea of the city. The images by Leonida De Filippi are to be understood as being citations with wich the artist shows himself to be a critical observer and elaborator of phenomena of reality. In particular his art is the expression of a confrontation with the media technologies of the generation of the images as they are used not only in visual production but also in electronic or digital production. In choosing the generation of the images as the theme of painting De Filippi defined a position of his own in a clear and autonomous way....

Introduzione al vuoto | antonio scaccabarozzi

Born near Merate in Brianza in 1936, where he died in 2008, starting from the middle of the 1970s the painter began a research work that showed a clear-cut experimental course not only due to the use of new materials but above all thanks to the persistently 'other' forms that his investigations into vision took on. The exhibition title, borrowed from a work created by the artist in 1978, considers the evolution of his language, documenting it from his first works with his Fustellati [Perforations] and Prevalenze [Prevalences] in which a more openly analytical method - in line with the spirit of the period - guided the formation of his surfaces. By way of a group of examples displaying...

Absolute Painting | Cveto Marsič

Cveto Marsič, Koper, Slovenia 1960. Graduated in 1982 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, where he received a classical education in drawing and painting. Linked to the New Slovenian Image and therefore related to the light and ironic figurative painting that triumphs in Europe after the outbreak of the Italian Transvanguardia and the Central-European Neo-Expressionism. Marsič´s painting continue the informalist tradition, that is nourished by a specific personal imprint and produces the quality of the painting paste, which is made of earth and evokes the landscape itself. On his trip to Spain, and after passing through Seville, his work begins to integrate notions of a lyrical abstraction, like powerful elements of light and colour. The colour vanishes during the...

Una solitudine troppo rumorosa

The exhibition's title is borrowed from the partly autobiographical masterpiece by the Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal (2014 is the centennial of the author's birth). The theme of this exhibition is solitude as evoked by the works of 9 Italian and international artists. These are works of different kinds, created using languages that range from photography to the video, the installation, painting and sculpture. One could single out the first moment of the exhibition in the two photographic self-portraits by the Franco-Polish artist Roman Opalka (1931-2011) who last year was the protagonist of an exhibition held in this Milanese gallery. This is a confrontation with ourselves in the solitude of one's own human condition in which the ineluctable passing of time is evident. Also...
