MARCO BAGNOLIIOxTE Scientific, alchemical, mystic knowledge, artist’s writing, Platonic and neoplatonic philosophy, Hermeticism, multi-religious sacred writings, history of art, a great many knowledges and recollections: these are the sources on which Bagnoli draws when he wants to overstep the knowledge itself and soothe his melancholy through a double tendency, being either formal or spiritual. Bagnoli’s personal show will include a new staging of both new and old works. We are
PANTANI SURACENon spigatemi perché la pioggia si trasforma in grandine Non spigatemi perché la pioggia si trasforma in grandine: Lia Pantani and Giovanni Surace as the artists. The installation is made up of two parts: 200 kg of hand made enamelled fire-clay pellets cover the gallery floor.

Patrick Jolley and Reynold Reynolds Burn 2002, 8mm film transferred to HD, colour, sound, 10 mins A burning interior is the setting for the third Jolley-Reynolds collaboration Burn. The protagonists treat the fire as a mild annoyance, indifferent to the disaster that is engulfing them. The film is comic in a world-weary, Beckett-like way.

THOMAS ELLERTHE Thomas Eller, born in Coburg (Germania), lives and works in New York. This exhibition will present works that unsettle the visitor at the moment of his first encounter of the objects, as they visually burst out of proportion into gigantic measures. The objects in the focus of attention are of every-day life quality, usually recognizable in their own context and dimension. The identity of objects normally is being
Daniela DeLorenzo, a florentine artist, will present a photographic work concerned with the issue of identity. In this series of five self-portraits the absence of the face creates an estranging, distancing moment of perception.
