Michele Guido and Andrea Magaraggia's Sculptural Dialogue at Galleria Surplace

At Galleria Surplace in Varese, Michele Guido (born 1976 in Lecce) and Andrea Magaraggia (born 1984 in Valdagno) present "Jiggling things," a two-person exhibition exploring opposing approaches to sculpture. Guido created a hypothetical garden using plaster sections of an aquatic plant stem, engaging the floor's structure to form an installation that functions as a carpet, viewable but not traversable. Within this space, Magaraggia installed two recent sculptures titled "Avidya." Using resin, he constructs forms where the intrinsic structure of sculpture and material overlap, raising questions about the statutory forms of sculptural practice. The exhibition presents a dialectical dialogue between Guido's rigorous yet non-flat geometry and Magaraggia's self-interrogating sculptures, together highlighting spatial dystopias.
