Christian Fogarolli and Michele Spanghero at Alberta Pane in Venice
The Alberta Pane gallery in Venice is hosting a two-person exhibition titled 'Recent works' featuring Christian Fogarolli (born 1983 in Trento) and Michele Spanghero (born 1979 in Gorizia). Both artists share a generational bond and a focus on essentiality, though their research areas differ. Spanghero explores sound and its transformation as a means to approach matter, while Fogarolli investigates the relationship between art and science, using mineral elements to probe the mysteries of the mind. In medieval times, a stone hidden in a patient's skull was believed to cause madness; Fogarolli repurposes this concept to reflect on diversity and perceptual variables. Perception is also central to Spanghero's work, both sonically—with organ pipes 'animated' by a lung respirator—and visually, through cold white cube views in his series 'Studies on the Density of White.' The exhibition is curated by Alberta Pane.
