ACTION: SPACE
ACTION : SPACE, exhibition project at FONDAZIONE RIVOLIDUE, Milan
Building upon this quote, ACTION : SPACE is a project on the perception of space and the elements of memory, imagination and action that are integral to the subjective nature of perceptive experience. Born as a conversation between me and artists Chloë Iza Manasseh and Emily Hawes, the project develops in the form of a dialogue between our works installed in the exhibition space of Fondazione Rivolidue.
Works of the three artists are present on all the three floors of the building. Playing with contrast and juxtaposition, echo and repetition, they shape and activate a non-linear navigation of the space for the spectator. The works on show attract the eyes and mind of the viewers, by triggering memory, imaginative involvement and potential for interaction with the objects displayed. Thus perception is seen as an active viewing experience: stimulating movement across the space, provoking action and awakening awareness of the present context.
