Shock Therapy - Toni
October 25, 2016 – November 30, 2016
Opening on Tuesday, October 25, 2016, at 7:30 PM – Room 200, Viale Romania 32
On Tuesday, October 25, the contemporary art exhibition Toni will open in Room 200 at LUISS Guido Carli, located at Viale Romania 32. This event marks the final installment of the Terapie d’urto exhibition series, sponsored by LUISS Cultural Activities.
The exhibition, curated by LUISS students participating in the second edition of the Art under 35 workshop coordinated by gallery owner Carlo Maria Lolli Ghetti, will feature artists under 35: Ginevra Collini, Pietro Manzo, Domenico Romeo, and Stefano Tedeschi.
The imposing works of the first exhibition, Volumi, displayed in the university’s public areas, are contrasted by an exhibition with a more subdued tone.
The works become moments of time and opportunities for detachment from reality, reaffirming the inherent healing power of art. This is how the gap in artistic choice between Toni and Volumi narrows, and in fact, it highlights a conceptual closeness that drives the perfect and continuous oxymoron that propels artistic expression.
The artists
Ginevra Collini
A young artist who trained at the Accademia di Roma, she creates complex works by applying oil paint to photographs she has taken herself. Through painting, Ginevra Collini conceals some of the elements depicted without hiding them, creating an open dialogue between what appears and what might appear. For the artist, the works are both a cathartic and a formative experience, allowing her to soothe her anxieties and begin to live with them.
Pietro Manzo
Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Pietro Manzo works on, with, and to a certain extent, for the landscape. His intricate installations are, in fact, pictorial representations of his own personal conception of urban space, which, by definition, is never strictly two-dimensional. This exploration becomes a kind of contemporary vedutism, where Kiefer's fascination with concrete meets Serra's spatial sensitivity.
Domenico Romeo
Born in Calabria and adopted by Rome, he is a graphic designer by profession and an artist by vocation. Romeo's work is precisely about vocation, a kind of spiritual quest expressed through graphic and calligraphic marks. A silent script composed of marks that straddle the line between Capogrossi and Barruchello, echoing Arabic calligraphy and Japanese writing exercises.
Stefano Tedeschi
Known for his ambivalent technique that conveys different messages depending on the viewing point, Stefano Tedeschi’s artistic exploration begins with philosophy and culminates in graphic design. His works are a perpetual demonstration of how, beneath every presumed macroscopic order, there lies, in essence, complete microscopic chaos.
Registration is required for the general public.
The exhibition is open to the public through November 30, 2016. Reservations can be made Monday through Friday:
