Remo Salvadori's 'Nel punto immobile del mondo rotante' at Forlì's San Giacomo Church
The exhibition 'Nel punto immobile del mondo rotante' by Remo Salvadori, curated by Cristina Ambrosini and Davide Ferri, is on view at the Church of San Giacomo in Forlì until September 18, 2016. The show features sculptures, installations, and site-specific works, including a performance during the opening where 'Continuo Infinito Presente' was created—a steel ring built from a rope. Key works include 'Nel momento', a large sculpture combining lead and copper sheets, and 'Lente liquida', a glass cylinder filled with water. The curators link Salvadori's practice to a neoplatonic, geometric tradition rooted in the Renaissance, contrasting with the concurrent Piero della Francesca exhibition at the nearby Musei San Domenico, which attracted over 115,000 visitors. Salvadori (born 1947 in Cerreto Guidi) emerged in the late 1970s and 1980s, developing a language centered on sculpture and site-specific interventions. The exhibition aims to slow the viewer's gaze in an era of rapid image consumption, offering a rigorous interrogation of perception.
