Elisabetta di Maggio and Sophie Ko in Dialogue at Museo Marini, Florence
The Museo Marini in Florence hosts a two-person exhibition featuring Elisabetta di Maggio (born 1964, Milan) and Sophie Ko (born 1981, Tbilisi) as part of the Andature project. Di Maggio's works are characterized by a slow, reflective time and surgical craftsmanship, while Ko's pieces involve a pulverized, mutable time that continuously transforms through painting, evoking Byzantine epiphanies. The show focuses on a dialectical comparison between compositional syntax and perceptual rules, which vary and interact with the space and viewing duration.
