SHELTER ADD by Riccardo Ajossa, when art is evaluated through paths deserting the bloodless nature of a screen and touches on the virtual as an additional element, echoes of a material which is and remains purely organic: paper.
The exhibition is the first collaboration between Disambigua ArtSpace and Hush Gallery, raised from the wish of a dialogue between two spaces and based on the concept of a 'hosting exchange' with the aim of creating an open dialogue between two realities/containers and the related countries: Italy and Turkey.
To go deeply in SHELTER ADD, we have to imagine a swell of paths connected to the thought and then visualize them going through an uncontaminated nature. Just think about a cold screen to touch that contains sensitive material. Our gesture will move an accumulation of poetic immersions in which recurs a precise chemical formula:(C6H10O5)N. It is cellulose. Paper. Just cherish this formula as an access username for the virtual, a mental aid to cross the codes conversion inherent in things that require automatic gestures, so as to reach in some way the physicalness of the works.
These works require a focused gaze that only the coldness of a screen can give and makes us understand them only in part. They all have a peculiar smell, to which we add that of our skin, while we are listening to the beat of a vital organ, or we imagine its arrest.
The real space that hosts and from which we can access SHELTER ADD is the Hush Gallery, a tangible space. Disambigua ArtSpace (Virtual D), a virtual world, an attempt of reproduction.
Riccardo Ajossa feels the paper and sees a small room as a hangar of possibilities, without censuring the emotion, he lets us return to scents, those of poetry, in spite of everything. N times poetry.
Wreck
Self portrait
Cellobiosio and me
Leaving to a place unknow, Syria
Small mechanisms
Mould
While wayting for you to come back
While waiting for you to come back at night
Di questa poesia mi resta quel nulla di inesauribile segreto
