Grazia Toderi and Gilberto Zorio's First Joint Exhibition 'G' in Vigone
For the first time, artists Grazia Toderi and Gilberto Zorio present a joint exhibition titled 'G' in a deconsecrated 17th-century church in Vigone, Italy, about 30 km southeast of Turin. The couple, married for decades, had never collaborated on a show before. Curated by Andrea Viliani, the exhibition transforms the Baroque space by interweaving Zorio's sculptural 'Torre Stella' with Toderi's video projections. Zorio's tower becomes a screen for Toderi's hypnotic projections, while her light renders his white blocks incandescent. The show explores themes of cosmic union, merging Zorio's Arte Povera background with Toderi's astronomical imagery. Viliani describes the collaboration as a marriage between 'geosophy' and 'astrophilia.' Outside, Zorio's star-shaped stone benches glow with Toderi's phosphorescent projections at night. The exhibition runs until January 16, open Saturdays 15:00-19:00 and Sundays 11:00-13:00/15:00-19:00, or by appointment.
