Via Bernardo Davanzati 51
The works of four artists sprout from the vast collective reservoir and serve to unravel the mystery of unified memories and encounters through randomness, chance and timing. The exhibition subtly connects the artists from different countries and exposes their own inter-connectedness that unites them and their works by chance.

The exhibition concept took inspiration by the novel “The Castle of Crossed Destinies”, written in 1973 by Italian writer Italo Calvino. In the novel’s fictional plot the protagonists use Tarots imaginative power to create a common language able to overcome the sense of strangeness. Likewise the artists gathered for this exhibition came from different cities and different countries to share the experience of an artist residency in Milano. Most part of the works shown here have been realized during the residency, nurtured by constant dialog and sharing of the time of life, work and love. In presenting to you this “cornucopia” of diverse outcomes I consider myself a partner in crime more than a curator, or better said a gardener, the facilitator of a process of growth. I hope you can enjoy the fruits and notice the subtle game of affinities unfolding freely, without a planned preparation.

…oosh, came down the floor. The gallery space loudly shifted downwards like an elevator in free fall before suddenly stopping. What had been reliably solid only a minute ago suddenly liquified in its upper crust, leaving Eli standing waist-deep in what seemed to her like a cement-type substance but could as well have been mud. The exact identity of the substance engulfing her limbs was the farthest thing from her mind, as the shift left her disoriented, confused, and for the most part, annoyed by the material betrayal of her surroundings. “What has just happened… how did it… and in an art gallery, of all places…?” The works by Ana Mrovlje take shape as synthetic appendages, prosthetics, and at times counterfeits that imitate the human form: be it the “dramatism” of hair fibers (their intensive shine) or the bending and folding of limbs (their curvatures). In doing so, they point to the looming absence of the thing imitated and to an event already passed, of which only synthetic traces, those resistant to the passing of time, remain. The exhibition is static and singular yet filled with countless potentialities that imbue its space with overlapping fictions.

In the alienation from the means of production we live in the belief that what we make and what we are becomes an object or a thing rather than what it really is, something made by man in relation to others. What about the body, is it man made? The noise I am referring to is linked to human relationship with the body that is essentially ours, yet it becomes objectified and displaced by others, by ourselves. The finest object in the object system is the body and all bodily. Through capitalistic lenses, the body is the private property of its owner. Therefore it can be seen as a form of capital. As Baudrillard puts it, the body can be understood as a cultural fact and not a natural, biologic one. The body can also be seen as a private fetish, an objectified self- investment of particular powers into the body by their owner and others. Body parts start to possess the projections we put on them, which causes merging between subject desire’s and object’s power. Baudrillard wrote that the fetish arises precisely from this confusion, from the noise between the two.

An occult theory purports that the physical rainwater actually contains the experience it evokes. “We have been walking in the rain. It is an extremely contemplative, all- encompassing experience. We wrote about it in a text called the Rain Diaries. Afterwards, we bottled some of the rain, consumed drops of it and wrote about that. But what we really want to do is to talk about rain in the language of rain. For that, we have built a water installation to replicate our experience without words, uttering only circles in water”. Based on incognito performative acts, the artist duo examines the correspondence and subjectivity of experience. With a focus on nonmaterial and purely subjective perspectives of things, thoughts and emotions they locate causalities and contrasts hidden beyond the surface of mundane. An experience exists as an almost phantomic witness of materiality. The rain dialogues reveal understandings and misunderstandings of their performative actions that were done individually and eventually reported to the other. The exhibition positions the subject in the space between above and below in order for them to fill the distance .The exhibition is supported by Arts Promotion Centre Finland, National Council for Audiovisual Art.

The state of no echo captures the idea of absence, the unrecognized significance of the significant. It becomes clear that the existence of the anechoic state is based on the search for the echo. Like the position of dictators always reveals the trace of the fact they are caught being their own prisoners behind their absolutistic function, so are the personal battles hidden and repressed into the layers of the collective, social conflicts and then played out on the poligon of war territories. The position of a prisoner and a dictator seems interconnected as action and inaction, silence and echo. The authors answer the question about the existence of human destructivity through their personal urgency and involvement which forces one to explore what would rather remain hidden and anechoic.
