The Muzzle and the Mirror

By spreading new perspectives to understand the feelings, dogs and wolves highlight the differences in coping with them, if compared to human beings. The social […]

and the ground begins to breathe
and the ground begins to breathe There is a moment in the cycle of the seasons when everything still seems still. The cold has not completely left the earth, the air is saturated with anticipation, and the ground, seemingly inert, begins to quiver in depth. It is a restrained breath, a silent, subterranean movement […]

CRUISING GIARDINI
After Proiezioni d’inverno last December, the Marc Turlan returns to CASETTA STUDIO with a solo exhibition and a site-specific installation. The artist presents photographic works in poster format and on fabric installed on the external facades of the space as well as inside. The photography will dialogue with mosaic works inspired by four authors: Hervé Guibert, Sarah Kane, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Marguerite Duras, all central to Turlan’s artistic practice and poetics. The title Cruising Giardini is intended as a reference to the figure and work of Derek Jarman, British filmmaker and artist, who explored the theme of cruising in many of his works, interweaving this practice with a deep sensitivity to the natural environment. In his famous garden at Prospect Cottage, on the English coast of Dungeness, Jarman has created a space where wilderness and seascape merge with artistic and personal elements. This garden, conceived as a place of refuge and contemplation, reflects his vision of cruising as an act of exploration and connection with one’s surroundings. Jarman saw cruising not only as an erotic experience, but also as a way of inhabiting and re-signifying natural spaces, thus creating a synergy between desire, art and nature.

Long Story Short
In a future still to be written and already corroded, Alessandro Di Pietro constructs a visual language that acts as a grammar of the world: a system where objects, signs, and characters intertwine to shape unstable and fragmented narrative universes. For the exhibition Long Story Short, Di Pietro presents a new installation that continues his extended research on fictional universes as sculptural methodologies. A choreographer of narrative, he layers linguistic ruins, retro-futuristic residues, and pseudo-technical signage in works that function as non-objective technologies—devices meant more to evoke than to display. The works are a kind of process initiated during his residency at Gasworks, London, and represent a continuity that interfaces with the parallel exhibition at the Zazà space. The work presented at Flip, TOMTOM (YellowWhite) T (dry), is a previously unseen triptych composed of painted, printed, and layered surfaces that evoke the aesthetics of digital interfaces, forensic evidence, or tactical maps. In these works, figures emerge like specters beneath colored films or yellowish membranes. Words surface like corrupted data or urgent inscriptions, embedded in surfaces that seem at once archival and organic. In Di Pietro’s practice—often developed in episodic chapters and world-building strategies—the exhibition takes shape not so much as a display, but as a narrative checkpoint. Long Story Short is a title, but also a coordinate—a latent scene, like a geotagged location in a logic known only to the artist and those who choose to follow the signals. The exhibition continues the artist’s investigations into “plausible monsters” and worlds of collapsed grammars, at the intersection of language, design, and sculpture. The work at Flip appears dry, yet what it contains is a vapor of time: something once wet, now encrypted.
