IL PARADOSSO DEL TENERE MENTRE SI DÀ | MARIELLA BETTINESCHI, YELENA YEMCHUK
Il paradosso del tenere mentre si dà, the new bi-personal exhibition featuring the artist Mariella Bettineschi and Yelena Yemchuk, will inaugurate on Tueasday May 16th, 6.30 PM, at Metronom Gallery. Photographs and paintings, taken from different series, are shown in an installation conceived by purpose for the gallery spaces.
Yemchuk and Bettineschi share a strongly feminist practice and a deeply personal imprint they infused in their artworks. Il paradosso del tenere mentre si dà is a reference to the subtitle of a book by anthropologist Annette B. Weiner dedicated to certain Aboriginal objects, capable of retaining the spiritual essence of the person who gives them. Indeed, the exhibition assuming the form of a journey through the life and imagination of the two artists: the viewer gaze receives their experiences and memories as a gift, open the way to the possibility that contemporary art could be read as the prospective of donate something intangible, like the very essence of the artist.
It is possible to visit the exhibition at the following days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, from 9.00 to 13.00 and from 14.00 to 18.00, or by appointment.
