Pandemic forces us to reflect on fragility: so here is the virtual exhibition at De Carlo Gallery

From June 23 to July 5, La simmetria della fragilità (The Symmetry of Fragility), a group exhibition dedicated to one of the most interesting themes that has emerged in these more than seventy days of living with the pandemic, a project conceived and realized for the Massimo De Carlo Virtual Space, will be available online.

Curated by Alberto Salvadori and Luigi Fassi, the exhibition is part of the Risorgimento - Milan Virtual Art Summer project promoted during the summer by the Massimo de Carlo gallery, which invited five Milanese exhibition spaces to experiment with the combination of art and virtual reality by making its VSpace available.

The virtual exhibition itinerary consists of works created by authors with different origins, cognitive encyclopedias and generations of belonging, united, however, by an approach to reality characterized by values traceable to the concept of “fragility.”

In the common contemporary understanding, fragility is hastily counted among the negative conditions of inferiority, a defect of origin to be corrected on pain of social marginalization and condemnation to uselessness. There is, however, a widely followed line of thought, corroborated by the reflections of art in all its forms and the research of medicine and psychology, which wants in frailty concealed values of sensitivity and delicacy, of dignity and kindness. A primary quality of fragility is its ability to foster understanding of the other, opening to the dimension of care and community, up to the intuition of the unspeakable and invisible that accompany us in life.

The artists featured in the exhibition are: Maliheh Afnan, Miriam Cahn, Lisetta Carmi, Louis Fratino, Arjan Martins, Jennifer Packer, Andy Robert, Cathy Josefowitz and Portia Zvavahera.
