Congratulations, It’s Growing
Congratulations, It’s Growing 1#To moon is to stage the body as a site of refusal. If the humoresque is laughter steeped in sadness, then mooning is its perfect choreography: a brief lifting of the weight of the world, trousers down, gravity winning, absurdity revealed. The mooning body is not only mocking power but mocking […]

CorpoVivo
The body is the first space we inhabit, our first language. It is what defines us, but also what exposes us and sometimes confines us. For this reason, talking about the body means talking about identities, relationships, desires, conflicts and memories. Beyond this, the body is also a field of tension: between the visible and the invisible, between desire and control, between strength and vulnerability, between intimacy and representation, between what we think we know and what we cannot understand. It is both subject and object, depending on the gaze that passes through it and the presence that is attributed to it. The body is now placed at the center of a profound and multidisciplinary artistic investigation: the halls of Salemi Castle host the CorpoVivo group show, becoming rooms of perception, places where a visual and conceptual journey unfolds through the body’s many figurative, symbolic, abstract, and surreal declinations, which speak of identity, fragility, transformation, and resistance. CorpoVivo does not offer definitive answers, but multiplies points of view, reiterating that the body, despite its apparent simplicity, remains one of the most complex, political, and poetic themes of contemporary expression.

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.
