Victor Hugo Was Here<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Il titolo\u00a0della mostra\u00a0Victor Hugo Was Here<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0richiama un graffito del 1800 trovato a Luxor, in Egitto, in cui lo scrittore francese ha inciso il suo nome sulla parete di un antico tempio, probabilmente con lo scopo di rendere eterna la sua presenza in questo luogo.<\/p>\n

I lavori esposti in galleria sono stati realizzati da\u00a0Jean-Baptiste Maitre\u00a0<\/strong>e\u00a0Dina Danish<\/strong>\u00a0nel corso di due residenze in Italia:<\/p>\n

nel 2018 nello spazio\u00a0Sandra Natali<\/em>\u00a0a Bologna, connesso al programma del MAMbo,<\/strong> e nel 2019 all’American Academy<\/em>\u00a0a Roma.<\/strong><\/p>\n

La sinergia\u00a0tra i due artisti sviluppa una modalit\u00e0 di lavoro\u00a0comune che unisce temi e linguaggi utilizzati nelle loro pratiche artistiche, dando luogo ad una serie di opere, su superfici di varia natura,<\/strong> che si riappropriano ed elaborano forme espressive acquisite da storia e tradizioni culturali differenti.<\/p>\n

Nei lavori che si susseguono nei due piani della galleria si assiste visivamente ad un processo di \u201cstrappo\u201d di uno strato di architettura e di tempo,<\/strong> che vengono introdotti nel nostro presente e consegnati a quell\u2019eternit\u00e0 a cui fin dal principio sembrano tendere.<\/p>\n

I ricami su velo, ispirati ad antichi graffiti e a scarabocchi,<\/strong> decontestualizzano la semplicit\u00e0 e\u00a0la spontaneit\u00e0 dei messaggi originali,\u00a0mentre le incisioni su linoleum e velluto raccontano il contesto di Roma e la sua stratificazione casuale,<\/strong> creando una matrice di immagini in collisione.<\/p>\n

____________________________________________<\/p>\n

The title of the exhibition\u00a0Victor Hugo Was Here<\/strong><\/em>recalls a 19thcentury graffito found in Luxor, Egypt, in which French writer Victor Hugo engraved his name on the wall of an ancient temple, in order to presumably eternalize that he was once upon a time here in this place.<\/p>\n

The artworks shown at the gallery have been realized by\u00a0Jean-Baptiste Maitre<\/strong>\u00a0e\u00a0Dina Danish<\/strong>\u00a0during two recidencies in Italy: in 2018 in the space of Sandra Natali in Bologna, connected to the program of MAMbo, and in 2019 at the\u00a0American Academy in Rome.
\nThe synergy between the two artists develops a common working method that combines themes and languages used in their artistic practices, giving rise to a series of works, with surfaces of various nature, that re-appropriate and elaborate expressive forms acquired from different histories and cultural traditions. In the two floors of the gallery we visually witness a process of \u201ctearing\u201d a layer of architecture and time, which are placed into our present and delivered to that eternity to which they seem to aspire from the beginning. The embroideries on voile, inspired by ancient graffiti and scribbles, decontextualize the semplicity and spontaneity of the original messages, while the engravings on linoleum and velve tell the context of Rome and its casual layering of time, creating a matrix of colliding imagery.<\/p>\n
