a new dimension

opening | Saturday 7 December, 6 p.m. exhibition | 7 December 2024 – 7 January 2025
The Kyro Art Gallery in Pietrasanta is delighted to announce Walking #4. A New Dimension is the group exhibition that opens on 7 December at 6 p.m. with works by Luca Gilli, Deborah Napolitano, Anila Rubiku and Narda Zapata who recalibrate the gallery space, repeatedly converting the environment and giving it a constant, nueva densidad.
A new dimension is an original project in which every single work is seen for its potent narrative precision and also as a fragment, as a component, as an indispensable epistructural element of a whole – to be precise, the exhibition, which, thanks to every single work, aims to become a unicum, a Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art.
Taken as a single, inviting and captivating environment, the gallery space metaphorically becomes the notebook ready to be marked with the script of art. and specifically in this instance, with sculpture, installation, photography and charcoal drawings, to give rise to a literary exercise that spills over the margins of the page to become a habitat perpetuum mobile able to incorporate not just the material but also the spectator who becomes a privileged player and essential, interactive part of the entire spectacle.
With its elasticity and versatility, A New Dimension is an show where the exhibitive script mutates. It constantly changes its internal structure to surprise the eye of the public and suspend fixity in favour of a work (of a thought) in itinere [in progress] determined by the time marked out for the installation of the exhibition, insomuch as it is a process that takes time and organisational intricacies – needing continuous direction – where the works of Luca Gilli, Deborah Napolitano, Anila Rubiku and Narda Zapata are repeatedly moved and relocated according to visual activity allowing them to propose different and varied orientations, but always with the same works.
It is an active space that feeds on a theory of change and displacement, Walking #4. A New Dimension presents itself as an instrument whose lively and vibrant internal variability carries with it the memory of the cosmos’ richness, fomenting the potential of images that are no longer fixed but potentially iridescent, where the internal nomadicity of the works is also to be viewed as constant linguistic hybridity, as a dynamic effort, as physical gesture and mental gymnastics, as something that leads to inhabiting, re-inhabiting and architecturally rehabilitating the set of works into a total work, that is, the exhibition space, the gallery.
