Exhibitions, Italy, Milano, 14 December 2016
L'anno che verrà. Visioni di arte futura
group show curated by Anna Mola
at Galleria Spazio Porpora
14-21 December 2016
Opening 14 December 6:30 pm
“L'anno che verrà” (The coming year) It is a group exhibition consisting of the artworks of 15 Italian and international authors. Nearly 40 works of painters and photographers, and three videos tell 15 interpretations of the new year that we expect and how they artistically face.
The title of the famous song by Lucio Dalla inspires the theme of this exhibition, which brings together very different genres and stylistic researches.
The coming year may be the hope of a more wild and less mortified by man: a nocturnal landscape, the bed of a river at dawn, herbs that grow naturally, breaking the urban stiffness or even butterflies escaping from a "wound" canvas. A nature admired through a window or explored in person, in search of his own limitations.
The coming year will become sometimes a dream: the dream of a face or a human figure ethereal and idealized, dreamy and peaceful, reflective but also able to be a little "magical" and "merge" with some objects. Even the skyline of a big city can become surreal, fairy-tale, if illuminated by a romantic moon.
But the coming year could also push us to a reasoning on current metropolis and the terrible living conditions of some inhabitants. Reasoning that all of us should do.
The coming year, finally, it can also mean an evolution in the way of approaching art and therefore result in the insertion of new elements in the artworks, never used before, while remaining consistent with their personal research. On the contrary, it may prove a progressive simplification, to the aesthetic minimalism. It's like putting a (red) point on a white wall and from there “starting a new line” and see what happens in the coming year.
