ABOVE/BELOW

Posted on 2022-04-18

Everything is relative, and the environments in which we live are no exception. The most common way we view landscapes– as scenic vistas receding toward a horizon line– is only one way to look. If you shift your point of view the monumental shrinks, the miniscule becomes colossal, and unseen worlds that were always there come to light. Featuring works of art from the permanent collection, this exhibition offers new perspectives on our world by carrying viewers high up over and below the earth’s surface. From creating bird’s-eye views to up close encounters with underwater creatures, the artists in “Above/Below” explore the micro and macro details and workings of these mysterious and elusive realms of what hovers overhead and all that is beneath our feet. Although this exhibition features opposite extremes of our world, it explores the surprising and beautiful ways that we find ourselves inextricably linked between what is above and below.

Opposite – Neal Rantoul, Salt Evaporation Ponds, 2018

Exhibition runs through to April 24th, 2022

ETTORE SPALLETTI

Posted on 2022-04-18

On the ground floor, the visitor will be greeted by a metaphysical landscape composed of two sculptures, which appear to be suspended in the vast space: Colonna nel vuoto, 2019 and Ellisse, 2016. “In order to conduct a discourse on the appearance of the painterly substance and on its effect of reflection and emergence. Spalletti has utterly reduced the presence of volumes, whose formalization, producing a column or a parallelepiped, a cup or a bowl,depends on an elementary geometric development, which is tied to the figures of a square and a triangle, a circle and an ellipse” (Germano Celant). Spalletti made the first column in 1978: “I had in me this desire for verticality, but also the wish for an object that had crossed the whole period of art history and could be continuously recognizable in different moments”. The ellipse is a recurring geometric figure in the artist’s work: “the relationship with art means going to the studio every day, walking around inside, looking around. Suddenly becoming aware of a colour that approaches you, trying to stop it, develop a feeling for the shapes, think of the lines of geometry: horizontal, vertical, oblique, curved. To break geometry itself,
its stiffness, to fill it with a matter that, like smoke, breaks up into subtle dust particles”.
