LUISS Guido Carli presents a contemporary art exhibit featuring Sabina Dragomir and Gianluca Panareo
Trasparenze, quattro forme dell’invisibile - Acqua
September 29 – October 31, 2015
Inauguration on Tuesday, September 29, 2015 at 7:30 p.m. in the Aula Chiesa, Viale Romania 32
On Tuesday, September 29, Acqua, the third exhibit in the Trasparenze series, will be inaugurated on the LUISS Guido Carli Viale Romania campus.
The exhibit, sponsored by LUISS Cultural Activities, was curated by Anonima Curatori (Anonymous Curators), and features two artists under the age of 35: Sabina Dragomir and Gianluca Panareo.
After having dealt with the plasticity of glass in the Vetro exhibit, the series turns its attention to an essential and natural element. Water, the base of all life, is necessary but not sufficient to sustain living beings, and highly sought for by astronomers as a sort of modern philosopher’s stone, capable of transforming a cold rock floating through the cosmos into a plausible incubator of new civilizations.
The artists
Sabina Dragomir
Sabina Dragomir paints human bodies completely submerged in water, in an uncomfortable balance between rebirth and drowning, between the warm embrace of amniotic fluid and the cold constriction of a flooded river. Bodies are cleansed and purified by water while their souls are simultaneously isolated from the outside world and freed to express themselves without perceptions. Sabina Dragomir lives and works in Cluj-Napoca and is represented by Galleria IAGA.
Gianluca Panareo
Water has a completely different role in installations by Gianluca Panareo. The transparent body becomes the protagonist of a constant, repetitive drama: the physical impossibility of exceeding a limit. The water willfully throws itself against a physical barrier that it cannot overcome, yet it never stops trying.
Once again the students from the LUISS contemporary art laboratory must stage a highly complex exhibit, alternating installations and large paintings as they explore transparencies through one of the most complex and evocative elements in the history of art.
Open to the public 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on the following days:
- October 3-4, 10-11, 17-18, and 25
