Ilaria Cuccagna's Poetic Material Juxtapositions at Galleria Riccardo Crespi
Ilaria Cuccagna (Cesena, 1981) presents a solo exhibition at Galleria Riccardo Crespi in Milan, where she pairs opposing materials to explore the energy between them. The show evokes the poetic attention to small things of Giovanni Pascoli, as Cuccagna brings together lightness and hardness, moisture and metal. A flower's fragility meets marble's solidity; moss's dampness encounters an iron sheet slowly oxidizing; popcorn adorns branches like blossoms. These contrasts activate or suspend the inherent energy of elements, as in 'Migratio,' which captures a stretch of road in Medina within silicone rubber. The exhibition runs through an unspecified period in 2017.
