The Foundation presents Rendezvous<\/em><\/strong> by Vibeke Mascini<\/strong>, the second event<\/strong> in the annual exhibition cycle of Project Room<\/em><\/strong>, the Foundation\u2019s \u201cobservatory\u201d project dedicated to the latest developments in the international art scene, entrusted for 2022 to curators Chiara Pirozzi<\/strong> and Alessandra Troncone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In Rendezvous<\/strong><\/em>, a new project<\/strong> conceived by Vibeke Mascini<\/strong> (The Hague, 1989) for the spaces of the Foundation, the Dutch artist brings her research into dialogue with the suggestions derived from a deeper exploration of Arnaldo Pomodoro\u2019s artistic practice<\/strong> and the documents<\/strong> preserved in his archive. Interested in the possibilities of material transformation through the alternative and self-generating use of electricity<\/strong> \u2013 understood both as a natural property and as a result of industrial processes \u2013 Mascini<\/strong> creates complex multimedia installations<\/strong>, often in collaboration with scholars from other disciplines, based on the balance of mirror-like concepts<\/strong> such as life-death, positive-negative, action-stasis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From these interests arises the artist\u2019s curiosity about the use that Arnaldo Pomodoro makes of the cuttlefish bone<\/strong> as a surface to engrave for the creation of jewelry and small sculptures, where the negative imprint of the object<\/strong> created is left behind. Rendezvous<\/em><\/strong> reflects on the concept of imprint<\/strong>, understood by Mascini<\/strong> as the physical trace of a dynamic time<\/strong> that crystallizes.<\/p>\n

Expanding her research into the field of natural sciences, the artist has initiated a close collaboration with MUSE \u2013 the Science Museum of Trento<\/strong>, which has created for the project an exclusive series of 3D scans of portions of dinosaur footprints<\/strong> from the paleontological site of Lavini di Marco (Rovereto), where the intersection<\/strong> between different animal species<\/strong> that lived hundreds of years apart is clearly visible. Based on these scans, Mascini<\/strong> has created for the Project Room<\/em> space of the Foundation some casts filled with water in the concave part, which will vibrate in response to the movement of visitors<\/strong> thanks to the presence of a carbon dioxide sensor<\/strong>. In this way, Rendezvous<\/em><\/strong> tells and makes evident a layering of signs<\/strong> imbued with new meanings, capable of transforming a past and static time into a present and dynamic one<\/strong> through the surprise generated by a new and unexpected encounter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
