Exhibitions, Italy, Roma, 07 May 2016
Saturday May 7 at 6 pm opens in Rome, at the multifunctional space VARCO Pigneto, the international art exhibition "CosmoGRAPHIES - sign matter and vision."
The project, curated by Eva Czerkl, aims to investigate through the works of 31 contemporary Italian and foreign artists the complex relationship between science and art, between cosmos and human soul. A journey in the territories of imagination and artistic experimentation, there where trajectories, celestial bodies, cosmological archaisms become traces, symbols, graphic signs, graffiti of the future.
The representation of the space has always been the focus of the artists’ research, who often with their intuitions and their representations have followed if not anticipated the philosophers’ speculations and the scientists' discoveries. There is a point beyond which the science does not go beyond. There the imagination takes over. Einstein himself asserted that "imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is finite, instead imagination encloses the world."
Every art work is somehow an interpretation of the universal mystery, even when lost in a fantastic game of abstraction, where the protagonist is just the energy of color and the dynamism of sign, or the light in case of photography. Be it human entity or simple matter, each subject represented is a bow to a 'beyond', an almost univocal relationship between universal spaces and 'bodies' that attract in magnetism of forms and color harmonies. Art is constantly relating to the origins, as if every work was a fragment of Universe leading the visitor's gaze to the ultimate reason of things.
Therefore, the exhibition is meant to be not so much a technological tale but a philosophical, conceptual and metaphysical, surreal and fantastic one, narrated through painting, sculpture, photography, digital art installation, video.
Artists: Francoise Amossé, Jurgen Angeler, Aurelio Biocchi, Angelo De Francisco, Katerina Dramitinou, Jean-Bernard Fourcault, Mihai Grosu, Gym Halama, Monique Lemaire, Robert Andler Lipski, Massimo Magistrini, Jacopo Mandich, Aldo Manganaro, Claudio Masenza, Omar Olano, Paola Paleari, Maria Pia Pascoli, Claudio Rosso, Ai Sato, Emilio Sgorbati, Helen Shulkin, Anna Sowinska, Alan Spazzali, Reinhard Stammer, Pejman Tadayon, Vassilis Triantis, Marie-Anne Truffino, Marc Vandevelde, Pierluigi G. Vecchi, Christine Verhaert, Alessandra Vinotto.
