In the exhibition \u201cPer ogni estatico istante\u201d (For every ecstatic moment) two artists from different generations meet. Paola de Pietri (*1960) explores the plain of the river Po via black and white photography. Giulia dall\u2019Olio (*1983) mystical landscapes in charcoal on paper, might surmount the given frame from time to time. Despite the given differences, the works of the show communicate with each other. They seem to be only another form of interpretation of a related environment.<\/p>\n

25 September \u2013 23 December 2020<\/p>\n

The gallery P420 features two exhibitions at the same time. Merlin James has a wide range of creations. There is a pseudo-na\u00efve painting of architecture and an observing look on a \u201cViewer\u201d. Other works tend more to abstraction. Most of these pictures have a pastose paint application in common. Additionally, there are his \u201cnegative\u201d collages, which remind the back of paintings and reveal the wall behind them.<\/p>\n

ngg_shortcode_1_placeholderSince 1995, the artist duo Marie Cool and Fabio Balducci work together. Their materials are coming from company bankruptcies or redundancies. In focussing on erstwhile office furniture and equipment, they refer to bygone productivity and herewith political, social and economic circumstances. At the same time, their creations have a poetic-sensual component and create abstract pictures, both in the filmed actions and in the setups of the objects. An over a desk pushed sheet of paper becomes a white rectangle on black ground, an overturned desk communicates with a reflected window and a long adhesive tape converts to a red thread, which binds the exhibition together.<\/p>\n

After his first steps in working with ceramics by a collaboration with the Carlo Zauli museum in Faenza, Marco Ceroni developed another series in this material: animal dentitions in ceramic, now on view at the Gallleriapi\u00f9. For the exhibition, Giorgio Bartocci and Stefano Serretta created a frame by wall paintings. A promoting video featuring Marco Ceroni by Veronica Santi is also on view. Due to this campaign like presentation, the gallery becomes a Temporary Store to launch the brand \u201cSLAG\u201d. Consequently, an adequate packaging cannot be missing, designed by Gabriele Colia.<\/p>\n

3 October \u2013 28 November 2020<\/p>\n

For the exhibition \u201cRenaissance\u201d, the three presented artists reflected on the significance of the term in the sense of rebirth or revival. In Vhils\u2019 (Portugal, 1987) works arise portraits out of given materials as a door, a metal plate or even from advertising posters. Bezt (Poland, 1987) large-sized paintings recount stories shimmering between hyper realistic and surreal manner, including video game icons, so that the observer is torn between dream world and virtual reality. Gonzalo Borondo (Spain, 1989) depicts the four human temperaments: choleric, phlegmatic, sanguine and melancholic. These originally static sculptures made of plexiglass plates, become lively by the internal lights.<\/p>\n

8 October \u2013 14 November 2020<\/p>\n

The Galleria B4 features the Iranian artist Marjan Babaie Nasr by a solo exhibition of her paintings. In contrast to her \u201cFlower-Series\u201d, with its photorealistic blossoms of fruit trees, there a more recent works with calligraphic and ancient fresco elements. Hidden in these images appears a quirky red fish, which surprisingly doesn\u2019t seem to be an alien component in this for him unusual environment.<\/p>\n

10 October \u2013 12 December 2020<\/p>\n

In its group exhibition \u201cFerro e Fuoco\u201d (Iron and Fire) the Galleria Spazia presents works by seven artists mainly created from the 1960s to the 1980s. As the title indicates, the oeuvres by Fausto Melotti, Edgardo Mannucci, Nanni Valentini, Eliseo Mattiacci, Luigi Mainolfi, Mauro Staccioli and Giacinto Cerone have their origin from fire, might be by the process of clay firing or forming metal by heating it.<\/p>\n

Also the Galleria de\u2019Foscherari turns towards the past. On view are some key oeuvres by the late Giovanni d\u2019Agostino, influential as teacher in several Italian Academies of Fine Art. There are his wax works from the 1970s, luminous images based on white. Contrasting to these is \u201cGong\u201d from 1985, a black grounded triptych, which visualises sound. And finally one of the late works from 1999, five panels in colour grading from dark grey to black with a \u201cHypertext\u201d written on.<\/p>\n

17 October \u2013 15 Novembre 2020<\/p>\n

With its new series, the Galleria Stefano Forni focusses on its represented artists. To start, we are invited to Luciano Ventrone\u2019s \u201cWunderkammer\u201d (Wonderroom). His photorealistic paintings attract the attention, since the fruits, vegetables and flowers are depicted following the great masters of art history. In one example, the light direction in front of a dark background reminds Caravaggio. However, there is no biblical scene featured, but an opened pumpkin. Its inner fruit fibres recall the grotto in Florence\u2019s Boboli Gardens.<\/p>\n

CAR DRDE presents a series of miniature paintings, created in the short period of only thirteen days, after the artist moved in his new studio in the attic of a four-story building. Hence, \u201cEyrie\u201d the exhibitions title. David Auborn investigates about the meaning of the current existence. Hereby he interrogates external and internal sources, the surrounding world and his unconscious. Resulting are small extracts of a seemingly mysterious world, which nonetheless appears somehow familiar.<\/p>\n

31 October \u2013 28 November 2020<\/p>\n

With \u201cMomenti dilatati\u201d (Dilated Moments) at the Studio Cenacchi two artists featuring nature meet. Maurizio Tangerini seems to stop the time in his deserted landscapes. In his watercolour paintings, he expands the moment to eternity. Whereas Mario Lamma freezes the instant. He captures ephemeral moments like stones under flowing water, frost flowers and iced surfaces. With his photos, he immortalises this transience.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_10_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
