Lecce From February 22, 2023 to March 6, 2023
Presentation
Primo Piano LivinGallery has the pleasure of presenting the contemporary art exhibition VENUS’S MIRROR: THE OTHERNESS OF THE REFLECTED GAZE curated by Dores Sacquegna.
The otherness in art is given by the comparison between the body of the work and that of the observer. This exchange of glances indicates that at the two ends of the visual optical framework there are two seeing bodies: the body of the observer and that of the work. The work closes its vital circuit when in front of it there is a gaze that questions it and in the reflection between one and the other, we find the body-to-body between the artist and the observer.
The exhibition invites us to reflect on the dualism between otherness, visibility and invisibility, through an imaginary Venus’s Mirror but not only: also, on the medusa effect that occurs whenever one of the two bodies cannot stand the gaze of the other and succumbs.
