Opening: Saturday 14th April – 7:00 P.M.
Galleria Paola Verrengia presents Tensione Aurea (Golden Tension), the first solo-show of Emanuela Fiorelli in Salerno.
Emanuela Fiorelli (Rome, Italy, 1970) has carried out a project specifically conceived for Galleria Paola Verrengia.
The exhibition brings together a selection of her works, among them Sistema Emergente, Leggio and Allucinazione Speculare. It also features the site-specific installation Tensione Aurea and some photo-installations, as Installativo 8 created by manipulating a picture of the Gallery.
“Tension” is the file rouge of the show, in fact a certain kind of force pervades all the works exhibited in the Gallery, it runs through the threads to re-shape volumes and surfaces.
The use of the thread characterizes Fiorelli’s poetics, according to the artist the thread is a way to explore spaces, “a borderline capable of pushing borders”.
The aim of this artistic practise is to clarify the interesting and original relationship between Arts and Mathematics. By “weaving” textures of threads she produces unusual symmetries, an act that explicates the concept of “harmonic spaces”.
Performance In-tensioni reciproche.
Friday 18th May 2012 at 7:30 P.M.
Eager to define a mutual “language of tension”, Emanuela Fiorelli, Massimo Cappellani (mathematician and photographer) and Katia Di Rienzo (dancer) conceived the performance In-tensioni reciproche (Mutual Intentions). During the performance disturbing visual spaces will projected on a permeable screen which will then be deformed by the dancer’s movements.
