The show

On Wednesday 22 September 2021 the Pastificio Cerere Foundation presents Per un Prossimo Reale, a solo exhibition by the artist Antonio Della Guardia, curated by Vasco Forconi.

The exhibition was created thanks to the support of the Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm and will remain open to the public from Thursday 23 September to Saturday 27 November 2021.

Antonio Della Guardia develops an investigation into the conditioning imposed by contemporary work on the body, on cognitive processes and on the most intimate spheres of our private life, noting their signs and at the same time imagining poetic forms and strategies of shared emancipation. from the encounter with the studies of William Horatio Bates (1860-1931), an American doctor known for having developed a method of re-education of sight without the use of glasses. If the Bates method has been the object of fierce criticism from the scientific community, which has refuted its effective therapeutic validity, its strong imaginative charge has transformed it into an object of worship for non-orthodox scholars of perception.

This method, almost a detritus of the scientific research of the twentieth century, represents for the artist a repertoire of possible performative practices, which he freely picks up and transfigures, then crystallizing them within sculptural and installation devices that he precisely arranges within the space. . In the encounter with the visitor, each of these devices is transformed into a tool designed to stimulate dormant processes, both of the gaze and of the imagination. The result is an environment, a free gym for the imagination, which the public is invited to experience in solitude and slowly.
