On Saturday 8 October at 5 p.m.<\/strong>, in Pietrasanta (LU),\u00a0KYRO ART GALLERY\u00a0<\/strong>presents \u201cMicrocosm: forms in the process of becoming \u2013 Mineral and vegetable alchemies\u201d by artists\u00a0Simoncini.Tangi<\/strong><\/p>\n The exhibition includes two projects \u201cSe-me<\/em>.\u00a0Morfogenesi Sapiente<\/em>\u00a0[Seed. Sapient Morphogenisis]\u201d and \u201cLe Sculture del Tempo<\/em>\u00a0[The Sculptures of Time]\u201d.<\/p>\n S\u00e9-me. Morfogenesi Sapiente\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is a project that took shape during the\u00a0Master Futuro Vegetale\u00a0<\/em>[Vegetable Future masters], held by Stefano Mancuso and Leonardo Chiesi at Villa Bardini (FI) in 2019. It is a journey into the intelligence of plants, between constellations of seeds interwoven in the air and geographical maps embroidered by underground by roots.\u00a0S\u00e9-me<\/em>\u2014a symmetrical capsule on gold leaf\u2014is a reflection on the ability of seeds to perceive and react intelligently to stimuli in the environment. The seed is a conscious living being: it knows what it will become. It is a dynamic and intelligent organism that will only wake up when it finds favourable conditions for growth.\u00a0 A tireless migrant, it moves through space and time, patiently waiting to open up to the world.<\/p>\n Le Sculture del Tempo<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is an exploration of images and forms of mineral matter: a voyage of discovery into what the alchemist philosopher Gaston Bachelard calls \u201cthe germinative force of metal\u201d.\u00a0 This project (2021-2022) is a journey within the micro-world of goldsmithing, a pretext to explore that alchemical process in which a soft material (wax), is transformed into a hard and resistant element such as metal.<\/p>\n Goldsmithing techniques such as fretwork and the lost wax give artists the chance to create\u00a0small<\/strong>\u00a0sculptures that can be worn or observed closely, forms in process of becoming\u00a0<\/strong>that remind us that we are all connected and intertwined with the lives of one another.<\/p>\n Bachelard tells us that the universe is \u201cdivided precisely into three kingdoms: the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms (\u2026). These kingdoms have a close relationship, one nourishes the other. The exchange of nourishment enables the material process of becoming for all of nature. All of the three kingdoms are subject to the rhythms of life. The animal kingdom is daily life, the plant kingdom annual life and that of the minerals is centuries-long life, a life that is counted in millennia. For the alchemist, metal is the Substance-century\u2026The entire mineral kingdom is seed. The germinative force is everywhere, in the plant, animal and vegetable world. Metal is germinative.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 8 \u2013 22 October 2022\u00a0Opening: 8 October at 5 p.m. On Saturday 8 October at 5 p.m., in Pietrasanta (LU),\u00a0KYRO […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5371,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5370"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5372,"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5370\/revisions\/5372"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kyroartgallery.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
