The exhibition itinerary will be punctuated by works created by Italian and foreign artists, all measuring 13x18 cm, the size of traditional photographic prints and postcards for correspondence. The thematic fulcrum of the exhibition, in fact, is the communicative possibilities and ways of representation peculiar to the small format. Thus, the image and the support, as an overlap of physical and ideal space, express an aesthetic of the minimal sign which, on the one hand, limits the excess of information, on the other, expands the cognitive process, establishing an open dialogic relationship between the work and the user.
The fruition itinerary will be dynamic and immersive, ranging between heterogeneous techniques, from graphics to painting, and different styles, from abstraction to realism. Different languages for contexts, generations and inspirations will dialogue in the gallery space. The visual narrative, spread rhythmically on the architectural surface, will become a code to be interpreted, according to the infinite and unpredictable encyclopedias of those who create and those who observe.
From the critical text:
"The space of the support imposes a visual and conceptual cut on the image. The majestic cycles that decorate the cathedrals tell an imposing story but with well-defined contours, within which the act of interpretation is canceled, in favor of a static vision, dictated by an all-encompassing authority. On the contrary, the representation extended over an extremely concentrated surface has the forms of a constant process, because it creates a perpetual perceptive motion between opening and closing. In fact, the information conveyed by the surface minimal, they naturally and discreetly arouse the curiosity of the user who is called to act in the depth of the image, beyond what can be seen, to complete its meaning."
The exhibition will be open to visitors until 8 December 2014.
