...Tutto ciò che luccica
The group exhibition ...Tutto ciò che luccica (All that glitters), explores, in a light but richly referential tonality, the fascination for the medium, the appeal of gold, and what it represents.
The artists in the exhibition, each through their own language and vision of reality, reuse the symbolism and materiality of gold, reinterpreting it in a contemporary key. By questioning the traditional association between value and material, they suggest a critical reinterpretation of the concept of preciousness: not everything that glitters is gold, but what glitters can, undoubtedly, belong to the language of art and carry with it an inestimable value, even greater than that of the precious material.
A heterogeneous exhibition that manages to express different values and perspectives thanks to the variety of artworks on display: paintings, sculptures and jewellery combine to offer the public a rich and stimulating experience. The dialogue that is created is further enriched by the proximity of prominent international artists, such as Manolo Valdés, Igor Mitoraj, Pablo Atchugarry, Park Eun Sun, Robert Indiana, Rachel Libeskind and Desire Obtain Cherish, and leading figures on the Italian scene such as Mario Arlati, Virgilio Guidi, Giuseppe Maraniello, Carla Tolomeo, Paolo Vegas, Andrea Valleri, Riccardo Contini, in art ES, and Marco Adamo.
The exhibition proposes a reflection on appearance as a form of language and on irony as the key to questioning what we today define as precious, emphasising how the value of the work emerges above all from the artistic act and its capacity to arouse emotions and reflections.
