    Elio Ticca (Nuoro, 1988) lives and works in Brussels.

    Graduated at IUAV University of Venice and at University of Leeds, in the UK, the artist explores the relationships between historical and contemporary artistic languages. By referencing preliminary sources, his pieces are meant to be unpredictable, sometimes ironical visual dialogues. His work also reinterprets conceptual milestones such as authorship and autography, through a meditated process of camouflage and invention. The red thread of his work is the study on the representation of emotional states, mixing art-historical sources with contemporary artistic languages.

    “Looking at Linda Schrank’s paintings is a complex visual experience. In this exhibition, she presents both paintings and collages where she works with oil, acrylic, inks and other drawing materials to create lightness, a floating world, breathing made visible. Material and gestural, emotional and analytical, her painting emerges from diverse, sometimes opposing,origins. What Schrank is searching for is to engage and expand the viewer’s perception over time. On first encounter, her paintings are a conversation among materials, but after spending time with them, they express the balance and tension between coming together and falling apart.”

    Pietruccia Bassu – Only decorative use

    May 8-24, 2019

    Technical sheet

    Installation room size: 3 vertical sheets metal cm210x75, grain for sowing, broken dishes, 312 tulle party favors with confetti, video.


    The artistic production of Pietruccia Bassu renews the sense of belonging to a tradition, to a story, developing projects on the sense of continuity and re-appropriation of memory.
    The basic idea is to find in the practices and languages of the contemporary the possibility of handing down gestures, techniques, details that are to the tradition of the Sardinia and one of his family in particular.

    The artist from Sassari belongs to a current that sees in contemporary art the possibility of preserving anthropological data, customs, memories of past generations, exploiting art as an archive, deposit of traces. She use different expressive tendencies, from video to installation, making use of objects with a high symbolic content which in their works take on new aesthetic and conceptual modalities. She has made several personal and collective exhibitions.

    Pietruccia Bassu was born in Sassari (1969) and trained at the Academy of Fine Arts of her city.

    Ruggero Baragliu – FADE OUT

    March 8-22, 2019

    Technical sheet:

    n.3 oils on canvas cm60x80 2018-19;

    n.1 oil on canvas cm100x120 2018;

    n.4 acrylic on canvas cm24x30 2016;

    n.1 oil on canvas cm24x30 2016;

    n.1 oil on canvas cm40x50 2018; FADE OUT installation: 8 elements in shaped oil-painted MDF, variable dimensions

    FADE OUT, fading images, tells us how memories of moments lived consciously or captivated blindly from the eyes during our daily life are combined and confused in memory, to reemerge in flaps in new forms. In our time, where modernity is personified by the speed of the flow of everything, of the time, of the urban landscapes glimpsed by the sub-windows, of the music spread by a mobile phone or a running car, of a quick lunch break in a room crowded, of a succinct text message, the eye mechanically captures every moment of the day, postponing the act of analysis and awareness to future moments. In the uncritical absorption of all these images and activities of daily life we lose sight of what is true and what is not.

    critical text by Fabio Vito Lacertosa

    Ruggero Baragliu (Nuoro 1987), lives and works between Nuoro and Turin.
    He is one of the founders, together with Samuele Pigliapochi and Angelo Spatola, of the indipendent Turin space IDEMStudio.
    His reaserch starts from the deconstruction of the image, whatever the subject, up to a formal synthesis of the same.
    The image stripped down to obtain the supporting structure, is reconfigured into another possible scene no less real or false than the original.
    The slow dissolution of a given image allows the creation of another, original and pure.
    Among the most recent exhibitions:
    LACERTO, at the Galleria Alessio Moitre in Turin (2018);
    AIR CONDITIONING, at IDEMStudio in Turin (2018);
    PROGRESSIVE, at Edicola Radetzky in Milan (2019);
    TARAPIA TAPIOCO, taken IDEMStudio (2019).
