text by Elio Schenini (The Visible and the Invisible). With a variety of artistic
languages ranging from the video to photography, sculpture and installations the
two artists investigate the complex and often ambiguous relationship between truth
and illusion, reality and appearance. [] The often deceptive mechanisms of
perception and the subtle difference that distinguishes the oneiric dimension or the
imaginary from reality are the artists fundamental themes. Exhibition catalogue
Too Loud A Solitude. Critical text by Angela Madesani. The title of the
exhibition is taken from autobiographical masterpiece by the Czech writer
Bohumil Hrabal. The theme of solitude is evoked in various ways but it is
underlined as always being our fellow-traveller, whether we want it or not.
The artists: Pierpaolo Curti, Felix Curto, Francesco Diluca, Ins Fontenla,
Domenico Grenci, Antonio Marchetti Lamera, Roman Opalka, Paola Risoli and Francesca
Woodman. Exhibition catalogue published by the Nuova Galleria Morone, Milan;
Grazia Varisco Ventilati. Critical text by Francesca Pola (Empathy and

Interference. Archetypes of relation in the work of Grazia Varisco): From
its outset the work by Grazia Varisco was always characterised by creating
the maximum possible involvement on the part of the observer, both in psychic
and sensorial terms, by means of a visual language of extreme essentialness and
simplicity. Exhibition catalogue published by A arte Invernizzi, Milan;
Annak Lou Pitteloud Exercise in the Present State. Critical text by Elio
Schenini (IT BEGINS IN LUGANO. Towards a tetralogical reading of the
work by Annak Lou Pitteloud: an exercise on the present-day state): I The
triadic order; II Exercitium conceptualis; III The democracy to come; and
IV It Begins in Lugano. During the last few years her approach has been
increasingly more conceptual, carrying out a both rigorous and extremely controlled
artistic exercise of the means employed. Her investigation centres on the interconnection of artistic
questions with the political, social and economic realities of today. Exhibition catalogue

Ancients, Michelangelo and John Paul II. Critical texts by Elizabeth Lev
and Jos Granados: Egypt: the Body between Decomposition and Immortality;

Franois Morellet One More Time. Critical text by Enrico Mascelloni

(Franois Morellet or the Rigour of Ambiguity): His contemporary works
[] suggest a musical progression, simulating a dimension of depth and even a
sequence of cubes, to then negate them, [] taking us back to the substance of
Morellets work, to the necessary rigour which alone allows perception to become
aware and, in consequence, enjoy its own ambiguity. Exhibition catalogue published
by A arte Invernizzi, Milan;
Bertozzi & Casoni Non Ricordo [I Dont Remember]. Critical texts by Federico
Sardella (The Final Lie; The Images We Have Inside; and a conversation with the
two artists): The work by Bertozzi & Casoni is mendacious and leads us to an
alluring and sweet sinking amidst the rubble and contradictions of our society
characterised by a decadent beauty, by a heartless consumerism and by unlimited
lies which we often believe, whether we like it or not, even if at the heart of the exhibition the
Pinocchio by Bertozzi & Casoni doesnt remember. Exhibitions and catalogue by the Galleria
Tega (Milan) and Claudio Poleschi Arte Contemporanea (Lucca);

The Italian Neo-Renaissance: Agostino Bonalumi and Paolo Scheggi - Postwar

Classics of Italian Art of the 1960s [through some New York notes of around
1966-1968]. Critical text by Francesca Pola: Postwar Italian art seen as being the crucial
shift in Italian culture as a whole that reconstructed its own plural identity out of the ruins of
World War II+[+] In their uniqueness and peculiarity the works by Bonalumi and Scheggi
testify to this wonderful event of contemporary Italian neo-renaissance with surprising
actuality. This exhibition was promoted by the Robilant+Voena galleries and held at the
Moretti Fine Art gallery in New York;

Leonida De Filippi New Borders. Critical text by Volker W. Feierabend

(Painting as an instrument for a critical discussion treating the practices of visual
media information): These are not only excellent examples of the creative abilities
of a young artist of todays Italian art scene [] but are outstanding manifestations
that painting is very far from having exhausted its actuality and its innovative
potential. Exhibition catalogue published by the Nuova Galleria Morone, Milan;

Mariella Bettineschi The Next Era. The critical text of this series of photographs
by Francesca Pasini (The next era: vacuums of air and two-fold visions of the eye). In
the artists own words: The next era is deducible from what happened before
although it is never totally focused while it is lived. Consequently, these vacuums of
air allude to the unexpected, the unforeseen and to the not yet definable. Exhibition
catalogue published by the Nuova Galleria Morone, Milan;
Francesco Candeloro Signs of Light. Critical texts by Tommaso Trini

(The Horizons Own Light) and Ara H. Merjian (Building with light: The work
of Francesco Candeloro). As Trini writes: Everywhere among the arts theres
light in the radiation of the visible and yet no creative tradition that does not
produce design is specifically marked with the name of light [] More than any
other luminist artist who has run this course in modernity, who coloured for God or
illuminated for the Ego, Francesco Candeloro [] shares the radiant field of his
perfectible plastic installations with the distracted scopic field of anyone of us who raises his or her
gaze []. Exhibition catalogue published by A arte Invernizzi, Milan;
