GLITCH, group show in Building Gallery , Milan, 2024

  Glitch, an exhibition project curated by Chiara Bertola and Davide Ferri. In the regular and even fabric of reality, stretch marks can sometimes appear, superficial tears that reveal the presence of another dimension. The saturated fullness of life suddenly breaks down, giving way for vents from which signals of “an energy of existence” seep in, as the philosopher François Jullien stated. Something similar occurs in painting, when the precise correspondence between image and medium fails, or when the pure materiality of painting overflows, hinting at an unprecedented vitality. All of a sudden, this disjointedness gives rise to something that presents itself to the viewer with no warning; something that, although it might potentially go unnoticed, opens a chink, a breach that reveals another view and another nuance of thought. Therefore, the focus is aimed at a kind of painting whose truth does not lie in representationand its organicity, but rather in an the idea of the a painted image that negotiates with different media and formats, embracing its presence and material ramifications. Works as a background, or as a landscape of the spectator, where the viewer enters inside a set and where the work becomes a place to accommodate the things that may happen there. The works of Alejandra Seeber (Buenos Aires, 1969), for example, bring forth an unstable vision that can never be defined as univocal, staining her canvases to give the image another opportunity to react, lose its bearings and multiply.   pics by Leonardo Morphini [easy_image_gallery gallery="243"]
