Francesca Ferreri's 'Matematica della materia' at Peola Simondi, Turin

Francesca Ferreri (Savigliano, 1981), artist and restorer, explores the relationship between beauty and algorithms in sculptural installations at Galleria Peola e Simondi in Turin. The solo show 'Matematica della materia' takes its title from the series 'Math of Matter', which serves as a contemporary pavilion to recalibrate the viewer's gaze. The exhibition examines forms and their concrete, everyday stratification, while retaining mysteries: the site-specific installation 'Quiet, Mossy yet alive' comprises ceramic fragments, recovered iron, plaster, and recycled elements, appearing as an unexpected entity reminiscent of restoration gaps, personal memories, and music history. Ferreri states: 'The symbol of the 'x' evokes the idea of choice, while the line presents itself as the set of multiple possibilities and the parenthesis can define a temporal pause.' The show links arithmetic to the recovery of pictorial tradition, erudition of proportion, and sensory harmony.
