IMAGINARY LANDSCAPES

a group exhibition that brings together the work of four artists living and working in

The exhibition, free and open to the public

Fridays 11-5 pm, Saturdays- Sundays 12-6 pm,

runs until December 30th

Opening Reception is December 9th 7-10 pm.

The interpretation and the reconstruction of the experiences, storage in our memory as

a testimony of the past or as a expectation for the future, take place according to an

instant impulse. The process of recalling and remodeling the past in a narrative

sequence is a creative act that stands on the composition of memories and mind

patterns. This combination is settled on a variable network of knowledge based on

experience and in relation to purposes.

According to the uncertainty relation, more exactly one property is determined, less

exactly the other is known in this instant; therefore, it is neither possible to come into an

accurate and unique definition of the phenomenon experienced, nor to predict the

effects.

If we apply two interpretations on the same event it might happen that one outweighs

the other; but in some circumstances, two narrative themes come into being, and lead

us into a different horizon that, rather then be a collision, plays a key role in

understanding each single frame.

The artists in the exhibition deconstruct the artificial boundaries of conventional form,

escape the cliches of familiarity, and make each experience a discovery of detail and

destination. Each work develops ideas of multiplicity, variation, cross-reference and

simultaneity to convey the complexities of contemporary existence. Different micro

worlds are captured to create multiple and independent storytelling. The overall effect is

at once alluring, and disorienting.

Elusive faces, fantastic atmospheres, and evasive silhouettes uncover the unstable

reality suggested in Alessandro Simonetti's work. His black and white photos,

simultaneously set here and elsewhere, represents illusory surroundings and visionary,

albeit, realistic situations.

the same subject. By using…
