    Gianni Casagrande was born in Nuoro in 1963, where he lives and works.
    Self-taught, he has been drawing since he was two years old.
    In 1999, the design of a film based on his own script became the occasion for his first exhibition presented in Nuoro in 2004 with the title “Follow the war on this map of the world in Mercator projection”.
    Since then he has never stopped drawing, devoting himself exclusively to painting.

    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).

    Stefano Serusi – Nuragic alliance

    February 6-22, 2019

    Technical sheet: Forno, wall painting, 2019, environment size; Nuragic alliance, 6 lacquered iron stools, 2018, height 35.5 cm, diameter 32 cm; Paese bianco, plastic: vegetable cardboard, wall paint and acrylic paint, 2017, variable dimensions; Umbraghe, colored viscose, 2018, cm 245x195.

    The Nuragic Alliance exhibition brings together the testimonies of some typical meeting places of Sardinian culture, with the aim of analyzing the importance of the spaces for dialogue in the construction of a community.

    White Town is a model that evokes the main features of rural churches, which in Sardinia are, in some cases, built over the sites of nuragic sanctuaries. The result is a coexistence of architecture from different eras, that can be thus compared, such as the nuragic huts, whose fixed seats follow the internal perimeter, and the open spaces around the church, which also – thanks to the versatility of easily movable benches and chairs – adapt to different forms of assembly. The research on color, manifest in many works on display, comes from a direct sampling of the colors showed in Fiorenzo Serra’s documentary La novena (1967), about the holidays in the Sardinian shrines called novenari.

    The image of a circular meeting, devoid of explicit hierarchies (a typical feature of nuragic contexts), is also present in the arrangement of a series of stools designed on the basis of the ones that the nuragic people represented in miniature in the votive bronzes. The installation implicitly invites the audience to sit down, thus creating a physical space for dialogue within the exhibition. The pink outline of a large oven is painted on a wall: it is another example of a fundamental community moment for the Sardinian people, the baking of bread, which is characterized by the use of particularly elaborate masonry ovens.

    The set of these elements (the stools, the oven, the table on which the model is displayed) can be seen as a reference to a single interior space, like the kitchen of an imaginary ethnographic museum, while a suspended cloth refers to those that, in open spaces, are used to shelter from the heat of the Sun: another perimeter within which, once again, people can meet.

    Lucio Pozzi – GAP

    13 October – 2 November 2018

    Technical sheet: n. 12 acrylic on flashe on board, 30,5×22,8×2,2cm. 1 installation – 2 banners: digital photos in black and white, pvc gr. 500, 360x90cm; 2 slabs of wood 170x80x1,5cm painted with glossy yellow enamel; Tulip, 11 Sept. 2018, 76x57cm, acrylic on paper; Moonsong, 12 Sept. 2018, 76x57cm, acrylic on paper; 8 nails.

    GAP is divided into two parallel lines: on one side there are twelve small paintings of the Diffraction/Diffrazioni series and on the other one a new installation called Fortuna. The paintings are very colorful acrylic paintings in which two color strips never meet. The installation has black and white drawings on two slabs of wood painted in yellow that are placed on digital photos 3.20 meters high. In a controversy with what he calls the “virus of explanation”, Pozzi does not explain his works and wants to stimulate the spectators to recreate the art piece in their mind as they please.

    Antonio Secci – The Right Side

    12-29 June 2018

    Technical sheet: n.8 mixed technique on board, n.1 pastel on paper. Years: 1970-2016.

    The core of selected works in this small anthology embraces a period ranging from the 70s to our days. In these 40 years, the artist has chosen, from time to time, different materials (metals, plastics, papers, acrylic colors, pencils) to create material surfaces where only two colors delimit spaces and shapes accentuating the contrast. These irregular geometric shapes, forced on a two-dimensional support that they try to escape, are projecting themselves in the only possible direction (towards the eyes of the spectator), are forced to cohabit in the space dictated by the artist, and find a dialogue within those boundaries. Each work becomes a sort of atoll dispersed in the ocean, a place or mirage with which to confront, collide or join, letting the tensions and energies that ripple edges and surfaces find a common wavelength.

    Twenty works that awaken ancestral memories and questions about the role of homo sapiens, pursued since the dawn of his conscience/knowledge.

     

    Biography: Vincenzo Grosso (Nuoro 1977) lives and works in Nuoro and Berlin. Due to his interest in street art, he began his experience on the walls of his city. He graduated in jewelery at the Art Institute of Nuoro. In the same year, he left for Florence where he graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts. From 2004, he attended the S.I.S.S. Tuscany, where he obtained the qualification for teaching Pictorial Disciplines.

    In 2010, he left for Berlin, where he worked for two years with Xlab Gallery, focusing his attention on post-architectures and the possible consequences of the excesses of the modern world.

    Marco Useli – The Mani

    11-27 April 2018

    Technical sheet: n.7 oil on canvas, 1 engraving and ink on 1/1 cotton paper, n.1 ink and crayon on cotton paper, n.2 ink, colored pencils and acrylic on cotton paper, n. 1 acrylic rolled on paper, 1 graphite on cotton paper, n1. acrylic and crayon on paper, 5 woodcut and drypoint of 5.

    An original selection of oil paintings, engravings and drawings made to give life to a ready-made, minimal and irregular encyclopaedia in which a small multitude of Mani and a plurality of hands heatedly discuss their memories and the future, opposable thumbs, limbs and anatomies and gestures and islands and reckless trips like that of Ulysses in Joyce’s Dublin.

    An episode of serious pictorial research between a boxing match and a puzzle magazine.

    Statement by the author

    My work crystallized the succession and overlapping of events and consumption. I define a rhythm and create the limits of an instantaneous landscape through the pictorial gesture.

    I seek formal synthesis of states of fact originated from subterranean and complex dynamics.

    I focus on elementary forms of landscape, on factors that interact in radical environments such as stone quarries, production and industrial sites, spaces for survival of spontaneous vegetation in urban areas.

    I do formal research and experimentation without compromise on the issues raised by the artistic work, the exploitation of environmental resources and the use of tools that have a strong impact on nature.

    Biography: Marco Useli (Nuoro 1983) lives and works in Milan and Dorgali. After graduating from the art institute, he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence in 2007. After a two-year experience in London, he settled in Milan where he obtained a Master in Contemporary Design with Stone at the Polytechnic. Since 2012, he is part of the Milan Print Makers, which deals with developing research in graphic art. In 2017, he also opened a studio in Dorgali (NU) where he continues his artistic research. The studio hosts, under his curatorship, exhibitions and painting and engraving workshops.
