Piero Chiariello - Wallpapers for your phone 6

“Maximum complexity and maximum simplicity correspond” as Piero Chiariello says, for this reason in Pulvis he employs an everyday, anonymous and sometimes insidious element: atmospheric dust. It has existed for millennia, reveals the presence of light, absorbs environmental cues, arranges itself according to precise laws and, at the same time, refers to vagueness and chance. Pulvis is the dust which, undisturbed, has deposited for months on the surface of various materials and returns an imaginary landscape of what happened during our absence and without our action.

Federica Lavarini, curator of the exhibition.

Martino Lorenzon – Wallpapers for your phone #5

Martino Lorenzon - Wallpapers for your phone 5

Mazzacana Gallery presents the ten digital artworks created by Martino Lorenzon for the exhibition Wallpapers for your phone #5, curated by Piero Chiariello. The artworks will be displayed on the screen of some smartphones installed in gallery, in addition the works will be free to download starting at 6:30 PM (CEST) on July 24th 2021, and they will become available upon payment at the end of the event – August 24th 2021 – or after 500 copies downloaded.

The small traces that Lorenzon leaves on the surface are born as to form a music. They are flanked by each other with a rhythmic cadence, like in a meditation, following a mysterious balance until they form the image we see. Semi-automatic gestures reveal an unpremeditated structure, follow the need to show the feeling of astonishment for the invisible structure of the world.

Piero Chiariello, curator of the exhibition.

Salvatore Manzi – Wallpapers for your phone #4

Salvatore Manzi - Wallpapers for your phone 4

Mazzacana Gallery presents the ten digital artworks created by Salvatore Manzi for the exhibition Wallpapers for your phone #4, curated by Piero Chiariello. The artworks will be displayed on the screen of some smartphones installed in gallery, in addition the works will be free to download starting at 6:30 PM (CEST) on June 14th 2021, and they will become available upon payment at the end of the event – July 14th 2021.

The marvel is always available and surround us at any time, everywhere. Salvatore Manzi tries to make it visible to everyone by distilling the compositional methods that he uses each time in the construction of his artworks. In exhibition events, in the intimacy of his history, on the spiritual path he travels, he tends to seek the purest balance, simplest, more useful to understand and describe the dynamics of nature. He aims to follow the relationship that he lives with divinity, to convey the astonishment for the deepest mysteries, trying to solve, for himself and others, issues that have always accompanied us and probably will never leave us.

Salvatore Manzi was born in 1975 in Naples, where he lives and works. Involved from the beginning to the iniquity of the art system and market, he participated in and organized various collective actions to develop processes of artistic depersonalization. He then turned to a more extensive research and numerous references to social distress appeared in his works. Since 2006, following his conversion to Protestantism, his art research has thickened with spiritual content.
