Gregorio Botta's 'Disgelo' at Atipografia in Arzignano
Gregorio Botta (born 1953, Naples) presents his solo exhibition 'Disgelo' at Atipografia, a former printing house turned exhibition space in Arzignano, Vicenza, curated by Elena Dal Molin. The show runs in 2025 and features works that explore natural elements, waiting, and the threshold between visibility and invisibility. Key pieces include 'Velario I and II' (2023), 'Disgelo I, II, III' (2024), 'Aprile II' (2024), 'Non ancora' (2013), 'Each second is the last' (2020), 'Angelo sorgivo' (2024), and 'La danse' (2024). Materials used include wax, alabaster, iron, glass, water, air, and light. The exhibition space, renovated by Studio AMAA, features a main and secondary body separated by large windows, creating reflections and delays in vision. The title 'Disgelo' refers to a physical phenomenon of slow unveiling. Botta's works incorporate natural elements like water and wind, referencing poet Emily Dickinson in 'Each second is the last'. The exhibition is covered by Artribune.
