SUMMARY:Alex Dorici | Galeria Fernando Santos
DESCRIPTION:La mostra personale “Dois Quartos 2/4” nasce dalla stimolante collaborazione tra il Premio Arte Laguna e la Galleria Fernando Santos\, che ha selezionato Alex Dorici come vincitore del Premio Speciale “Artista in Galleria” per il 12° Premio Arte Laguna. \nLa mostra attuale prende spunto da un’approfondita domanda introspettiva: “Qual è il ruolo dell’artista in una società consumistica\, tecnologica e globalizzata come quella contemporanea?”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpinto dal desiderio di espandere la sua ricerca visiva all’intero spazio della galleria\, Alex Dorici ha proposto un progetto espositivo antropocentrico\, ponendo il visitatore al centro delle sue installazioni. \nScotch Drawing è il nome dato a un insieme di interventi realizzati con il nastro adesivo. Questo materiale è presente nella sua ricerca fin dagli esordi ed è essenziale per il suo corpus di opere. Quando viene applicato all’installazione\, il nastro adesivo assume il ruolo di traccia delle pennellate su una superficie pittorica\, un modus operandi che può essere colto come una cifra stilistica unica che ha affermato le sue opere nel mondo dell’arte.   \nInstallation Rope is part of a set of site-specific works began in 2011. The material is naval rope\, with variable length and thickness\, depending on the space in which the installation is places. The rope is part of a reel which dialogues with the architecture of the space where the installation is placed. This subtle technique and material aim at distorting the space and the perception of the viewer\, inviting him/her to enter the installation and become part of it.    \nAlex Dorici\, of Italian and Portuguese nationality\, was born in Lugano (Switzerland) in 1979\, where he currently lives and works. At the beginning of 2000\, Alex followed his artistic vocation joining the Accademia di Belle Arti Aldo Galli in Como and graduating in 2005 in Painting and Engraving. As a student\, he won the first prize at the Concorso di studi Angelo Tenchio (Como)\, in the video art section\, with the short-film Saudade Itamar (2003). Since 2007 Alex Dorici’s artistic production has been profoundly marked by a persistent research of the dialogue between the work of art\, the surrounding environment and the public. Moreover\, the artist has constantly been challenged by the street art language and made subtle interventions\, using the tape in order to give a new dimension to the abandoned urban spaces. Sensitive to the frenetic consumerism and the consequent debris\, Alex Dorici paid a special attention to the use of recycled materials\, inviting to an ethical fruition of his installations.      \nGaleria Fernando Santos\, now celebrating its 25th anniversary\, was the first art gallery to settle in Miguel Bombarda Street\, Porto\, in what later became the so called Art District. Contributing to creating an unprecedented dynamic in the city\, Galeria Fernando Santos has been constantly carried on its activity with the goal to promote promising young artists within the art market.  \nWith the special prizes “Artist in Gallery”\, Arte Laguna Prize aims at creating a wide and versatile network within the international art world\, giving the artists the opportunity to collaborate with a large variety of galleries\, museums and foundations. \nAlex Dorici is on view at Galeria Fernando Santos from May 4th until June 29th 2019. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition catalogue > \nGaleria Fernando Santos >

SUMMARY:Matteo Zamagni | Anise Gallery\, London
DESCRIPTION:The solo exhibition “Crepuscolo” by digital artist Matteo Zamagni (Cesena\, 1992) is the result of a collaboration between Arte Laguna Prize and Anise Gallery (London)\, which selected Matteo as the winner of the Special “Artist in Gallery” Award of the 13th edition of Premio Arte Laguna. “Crepuscolo” is Matteo Zamagni’s first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom and will also mark the launch of the gallery’s second space in southeast London. \nThe exhibition includes a new series of digital prints and an exclusive screening of Zamagni’s short film “Horror Vacui” (2018). \nIndeed\, the gallery was immediately impressed by the imagery\, conception\, and execution of the video. Matthew’s handling of references to hyper-development and the global crisis is executed with an engaging skill and strong attention to detail combined with an impressive understanding of the medium.  \nSet in the context of the current climate crisis\, “Crepuscolo” explores the relationship between human hyper-development and geological growth. As the artist states\, “I wanted to create an environment where people can observe the relationship between humans and nature\, its repercussions and interdependence.” The exhibition focuses on the role of human activity in redeveloping and removing the Earth’s resources\, thereby disrupting the world’s balance. Zamagni’s kaleidoscopic visions of unnatural worlds where man-made industrial structures and architectures of density are depicted in a state of instability and excess carry the weight of impending ecological disasters.    \nWith the special “Artist in Gallery” awards\, the Arte Laguna Prize has created a format of collaboration with international galleries that gives them the opportunity to see a wide range of artistic proposals selected by an international jury and offers artists the chance to hold a solo exhibition in prestigious galleries around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatteo Zamagni \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatteo Zamagni (Cesena\, 1992) is an Italian-born artist and filmmaker who lives and works in London.\nHe uses technology as a tool to create immersive and interactive videos\, installations and performances. His work has previously been exhibited at the ICA\, The Barbican and Tate Modern.\nHis research lies between spirituality\, art and science to create works that explore themes of consciousness\, the body as a perceptual interface\, the expansive impact of humankind on the ecosystem\, and the relationship of natural phenomena that traverse the observable world.  \nCREPUSCOLO from 05.10 to19.10.2019 at Anise Gallery – Inauguration 05.10.2019 at 6pm. \nCatalogue > \nAnise Gallery >

SUMMARY:Akihiko Sugiura - Jonathan Ferrara Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The solo exhibition “KYORAI (去来): Coming and Going” by Japanese artist Akihiko Sugiura (Hyogo\, 1979) is the result of a collaboration between Premio Arte Laguna and JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY(New Orleans)\, which selected Akihiko as the winner of the Special “Artist in Gallery” Award of the 13th edition of Premio Arte Laguna.\nThe exhibition will be on view from May 29 to July 15 at the gallery space in New Orleans\, USA. The opening will be held on Saturday\, June 1\, from 6 to 9 p.m.  \nJONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY was immediately attracted to the artist’s dreamlike figurative paintings. His body of work rejects conventional views of painting\, and his moving\, imaginative and slightly disturbing images challenge the very idea of portraiture through the use of landscape and abstract motifs. At the same time\, the artist wants to bring viewers back to reality through the inclusion of empty spaces and the arrangement of concrete materials on the canvas. The gallery has always sought to exhibit works by innovative artists who push the limits of their medium and style\, and Akihiko’s work succeeds in doing just that. In his paintings\, Akihiko depicts characters that represent various questions of modern times such as: Are we dead or alive? What is gender? Are humans something else? Real or virtual? As the artist himself states\, “In my work\, there is also a sense of being invited back into a world of imagination. Everything can be interpreted in many ways. This vision is connected to and inspired by Buddhist and Zen philosophy and its worldview.” Works of art take on different meanings when viewed by people\, and there are no misinterpretations\, as art cannot escape the gaze and interpretation of people who appreciate it.          \nWith the special “Artist in Gallery” awards\, the Arte Laguna Prize has created a format of collaboration with international galleries that gives them the opportunity to see a wide range of artistic proposals selected by an international jury and offers artists the chance to hold a solo exhibition in prestigious galleries around the world. \nKYORAI (去来): Coming and Going from 29.05 to 15.07.2019 at JONATHAN FERRARA GALLERY – inauguration 29.05.2019. \n Click here to watch the video of the exhibition > \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCatalogue > \nJonathan Ferrara Gallery >
