Mayfair Art Weekend | Max Mara | London
To give new life.
To bring back to the world.
The objects that form part of our lives accompany us and change with us.
In the artist’s studio they often lie for a long time, becoming sediment: they mirror the attempts, the failures and the ideas that have never been realised.
But they also find renewed life, incorporated and embedded into new artworks. Each one is filled with narrative, stories that often reflect our own evolution.
To talk about these objects is somehow to talk about the person that chooses them, or that makes and keeps them. It is to dive into our existence and into our ability to sew together new narratives, reflective of the complex relations that we are constantly interweaving with the world around us. The objects: children of what we’ve been and what we’ve lived, children of who we want to be, of how we want to live – in other words, projections of ourselves.
In this show, models, sketches and projects form the layered memory of Ludovica Gioscia’s research, the world that surrounds the artist in her studio. Accumulations of creative experiments that constantly trace temporal bridges between before and after, between past and future, between memory and expectation in a circular, non-‐linear manner; that absorb time to give rise to, in some sense, an eternal present, a triumph of the incomplete, of the potential.
The show is presented as a display resembling a domestic interior with shelving, wardrobes and chests of drawers into which these unfinished works are deposited, floating in a sort of nostalgia of the future.
