ATLAS – ALESSANDRA BALDONI
TEXTS BY ANDREA TOMASINI
Saturday 30 June at 18:30 | Spoleto, ADD-art Gallery
For the first time, the ADD-art gallery presents artist and photographer Alessandra Baldoni’s ATLAS in full, with texts by Andrea Tomasini.
The work springs out from the meeting of the artist with Aby Warburg’s Atlas Mnemosyne, in which Warburg explores the surfacing of the images of ancient deities and symbols in modern European culture. Hence the idea of looking for the visual place where the world “rhymes”, a sort of chorus between things – animal faces, nature, statues – to find a sense, a cataloging by shape, colour, meaning. Sequences in search of an assonance, images that call each other while sharing the same secret. Alessandra Baldoni’s Atlas tells a story of ties and ropes, of meanings that hide and disclose. A rule, a math of beauty.
30 June – 7 September 2018
ADD-art gallery, via del Palazzo dei Duchi 6, Spoleto
