The term exhibition feels most appropriate to describe the presentation of works on view at Studio la Città, opening on Friday, October 10, 2025 at 3:00 PM.

Unlike a show, which typically implies a curatorial framework — a title, a conceptual premise, a guiding narrative or critical lens — this exhibition forgoes those structures. There is no intention to propose a thesis, no curated argument or intellectual architecture linking the works in a critical discourse aligned with the present or future state of contemporary art. This is not a curated show. Instead, the works have been selected regardless of a critical or conceptual framework.

These pieces were not chosen because they illustrate an idea or contribute to a theoretical narrative, but quite the opposite: the works have been retrieved from storage — from the magazine — much like revisiting a long-abandoned family country house. In the dim light, while sheets gently slip back from furniture, sofas, and objects and are removed after hibernating, revealing traces of past experiences and of time. In this context of uncovering, reactivating fragmented layered memories, evoking traces, conversations, encounters, and shared moments in art, the works now on view are the distilled result of that resurfaced history.

At the heart of this exhibition is a desire to share: to reconnect, to relate, to listen, to be present with the works and with one another. There is no adherence to a critical agenda, no hierarchical structure — only dialogue, rediscovery, contemplation, and the pleasure of looking and feeling the art.
