VISUAL ARTIST
We need images capable of generating new sparks, unexpected narratives capable of provoking others, renewing points of view and poetry can occupy and does occupy in the work 438 cm3 of volume with 30 variations by Federico Giangrandi an unexpected space: that of the visual metaphor, moving from the page of the book to the packaging of a tin of peeled tomatoes of those found in any pantry, an object over which our eye runs without stopping. And the verse relies on the box which, maintaining its function, simultaneously becomes a symbolic and tangible transposition of a new image "magnifying glass placed - suddenly - outside the everyday".
Maria Giovanna Palermo
[Le opere d’arte] non parlano di pareti sventrate, tetti sfondati e muri ridotti in polvere, ma di come una persona munita di anima, immaginazione e memoria cerchi un varco tra le rovine, e venga a patti con il disastro al punto di inventarsi gesti che si accordino con quelli della devastazione e trovare così una strada in mezzo alle macerie. [] ...tra i gesti naufragati c’è un passaggio da seguire che consente di emergere.
