Claudio Costa and Daniele Girardi at La Giarina, Verona

The exhibition 'Bivacco 17' at Galleria La Giarina in Verona pairs works by Claudio Costa (Tirana, 1942 – Genoa, 1995) and Daniele Girardi (Verona, 1977), two artists from different generations. Costa's practice is regressive, using rusty iron and found objects in alchemical compositions that suggest a neo-mythology. Girardi, by contrast, presents a temporal and spatial avant-garde, documenting his walks in Norwegian wilderness. The show features a 1:1 scale section of his shelter 'Bivacco 17', containing his equipment, navigation tools, and notes. The video 'MYR' loops in the gallery's underground space, recording his journey with a restless camera reminiscent of Lars von Trier. Curated by Luigi Meneghelli, the exhibition runs until December 31, 2016.
