Opening Saturday 9 September 2017

The gallery SPACE TESTONI in Via D'Azeglio 50 – Bologna, opens the exhibition season 2017-2018 the first solo exhibition in Bologna Matteo Tenardi Places Unstable * * drift of things and the water cycle, which opens Saturday 9 September 2017 at 18,30.
The artist presents a new cycle of large-scale works that create estranging sets and singular, as always it happens in its exposures, accompanied by a series of projects that are themselves works in their own right for the minuteness of detail and the conceptual layering with which Tenardi communicates the depth of his reflections on things and on human existence.
The artist himself the author of the text of this presentation shows specially designed and created for the gallery space:

“To the man there are no stable places, incorruptible to the passing of time, with changes in History, and it is this lack of stability, making it a space doubt, a principle that must be continually identified and designated. Unstable is the governing becoming and structural instability of things and that delivery to the reality ruins, finds, physical object and memories that give a glimpse of a pure time and not dating. Things, places, case, Mountain, stones, imperfect elements generated by the existence that has lived and transformed them, impressing in their form the gesture of Man and of the passage of time.
The man is descended from an unbroken chain of ancestors and the fact that is born without his will and without self-awareness makes the casual visitor an uncertain becoming.
It only remains to choose to walk in a pure time, between the gaps created by neglect and accept the meaning of the Ruins. It is necessary to win the stubbornness and choose to contemplate the inexorable mechanism of the hydrological cycle within which evaporation, condensation and precipitation are possible only because of the unstable nature Water, essential element of Life”.
