Cesare Viel's 'Condividere frasi in un campo allargato' at Galleria Milano

At Galleria Milano, Cesare Viel, born in 1964 in Chivasso, showcases 'Condividere frasi in un campo allargato.' This installation explores the relationship between space and language, drawing inspiration from Rosalind Krauss's concept of the 'expanded field' of sculpture and Jacques Derrida's theories on words. Approximately seventy significant phrases, handwritten by friends on large kraft paper sheets arranged in a checkerboard layout, form the core of the piece. A wooden pallet pathway links two rooms, creating a perspective that renders the phrases unreadable from afar. An informative sheet details each phrase and its author. On the opposite wall, framed works display three brief phrases by Viel alongside four graphite and pastel rock drawings, juxtaposing the scattered phrases with a more defined exhibition space.
