Milan, Chiara Di Luca and Aronne Pleuteri reopen youth exhibitions at Studio Iannaccone

After a stop due to the pandemic, the exhibitions of young artists from the Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection in Milan, organized in the Iannaccone Lawyer’s Studio on Corso Matteotti, are finally back. The series of exhibitions, titled In Practice, reaches its eighth appointment with the exhibition Caos Calmo , which, from Sept. 17 to Nov. 25, 2022, showcases the works of two very young artists: Chiara Di Luca (Milan, 1996) and Aronne Pleuteri (Erba, 2001). The exhibition is curated by Giuseppe Iannaccone, Daniele Fenaroli and Gloria Vergani.

After the presentations by Davide Monaldi, Luca De Leva, Andrea Romano, Beatrice Marchi, a collective of ten young Albanian artists in collaboration with ART HOUSE by Adrian, Melisa and Zef Paci and Cleo Fariselli, and after the stop for Covid, the project In Practice thus returns to offer the space of the Iannaccone and Associates law firm to young emerging artists, through a process similar to the “practice” that novice lawyers perform, giving them the opportunity to confront the works of artists already established in the international scene present in the Collection.

If in the previous stages the confrontation has always taken place with the work of contemporary artists, for the first time Di Luca and Pleuteri are invited to relate to works from the 1930s Collection, expanded with recent acquisitions, thus crossing perspectives that are very distant temporally but surprisingly close in terms of common feelings and emotions.

In the exhibition, the public will first encounter the works of Chiara Di Luca, who starts from Greek mythology and in particular from the story of Persephone, the maiden abducted by Hades, god of the Underworld, and contended between the surface of the living and the depths. Her step falls on two opposite boundaries and generates a great act of awareness: crossing the layer of grass that is precisely the boundary between the world of appearances and that of theunconscious, of truth. Having completed this journey and overcome our limits the chaos that overwhelms us, the thoughts, the doubts become calm, slow, patient and lead us to the truest knowledge of ourselves. In the artist’s work, Persephone becomes our guide, accommodating us in her story, encouraging us to overcome any kind of obstacle, physical or cerebral, to reach the deepestdiscovery and rediscovery of ourselves.

Then, it is the turn of Aronne Pleuteri who, in a complementary way, investigates the tales of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, particularly the moment when Nietzsche confides to his fearless fellow travelers the face of his arch-enemy. From here the artist’s artistic practice focuses on the Spirit of Gravity. Zarathustra is overwhelmed by the weight of his oppressor, who, as he tries to rise, crushes him. There is something that pushes us to the ground and at the same time something that lifts us up. Pleuteri opens wide atemporal windows that tell a tragicomic story of precariousness and transience, an overcoming of form to arrive at matter, in the realization that the apparent chaos of the organism is also order and calm.

Children of the same indefinite time, what were young artists in the period between the two World Wars are today our young contemporary artists, filled with fears, thoughts and vital energy. The artistic practice of a young Scipione, of Arnaldo Badodi, of Renato Birolli, of an insurgent Aligi Sassu and all the other artists of the time in the Iannaccone Collection, thus dialogues with the works of two very young artists who, in their research, delve inside history with visceral curiosity, realizing that even artists far removed from them in a chronological sense drew from the same “common well” of emotions, fears, fragility.

“What the artists of the 1930s Collection have in common,” says Giuseppe Iannaccone, “is what is most true and authentic that manages to come out of the canvases: the tale of a disillusioned historical moment, strong with energy, overflowing with passion, visceral, real, that had nothing to do with the rules and preset canons that the critics of the time demanded. For the IN PRACTICE 8 project, I decided together with my curators to accept the challenge of placing alongside these, in their time young artists, those of our time, as I believe there is a strong link between these two different generations. To my surprise, I discovered two rising talents who feel extremely close to the artists of the 1930s.”
