120 Day Volume part. I and part. II

Entitled 120 Day Volume. Part I. Interior view. Twilight, the exhibition features installations and site-specific works by artists active in London, including Mark Leckey, winner of the Turner Prize, the most prestigious British prize for artists under 50, and the Italian Enrico David, a finalist in this year’s Turner Prize.

120 Day Volume. Part I. Interior view. Twilight stems from a reflection on the structure of language about the interior view, indeed on the overlap or dissociation between living in an interior and interiority, on what is retained of experience in everyday places, in domestic spaces, in the ‘common places’ of culture.  Reflection on what is free construction of the mind and what becomes transformed into imprisonment in cogent structures. The exhibition, therefore, probes the contiguity between everyday banality and essential enigma, questioning what still saves the artist from solipsism. So that the gaze moves in trace between the interstices of experience, of living, of rooms, to overturn the assumption of our days of we see too much and think too little, overwhelmed by a shattering in which events no longer even exist collective events, except in a riddle puzzle. Everything is in transit, everything is transversal, and form is constituted with different and heterogeneous elements in a language of conflicts and interactions, in a constant reflection on everyday life and aesthetic formalities.
