Nuova Galleria Morone presents Ancora l’alba (“Still the Dawn”), the first solo exhibition in Italy by Argentine artist Madelaine Gamondés. This multidisciplinary project weaves together textile art and sound composition to explore the multiplicity of being.

After the darkest night, the dawn still rises.
Following the death of her father, Madelaine Gamondés constructs a symbolic universe centered on the figure of the benteveo, a South American bird that, within the artist’s family history, has always represented her father’s presence.
Its song, physiology, colors, and the shape of its eggs: each element becomes a trace from which the artist begins her exploration of the subtle thread—fragile yet powerful—that binds life and memory.

From the sound wave of the benteveo’s song, the artist extracts silhouettes that take form in works made of natural wool using the ancient technique of needle felting. These shapes—light, suspended, and vibrant—unfold across various supports, such as fabric and paper, composing an immersive and poetic landscape.
Accompanying them is an original sound composition that permeates the entire exhibition, amplifying the sensory experience and transforming the time of viewing into a space of listening and presence.

Ancora l’alba is an invitation to dialogue between what we see and what we hear, between what remains and what transforms. It is an artistic gesture that urges us to reflect on our way of being in the world—within and beyond the material.
