Other echoes
Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?

The exhibition Altri echi brings together the artworks of artists Antonio Catelani, Filippo Cristini,

Dina Danish, Michele Spanghero, Marianne Vierø and the design duo Martinelli Venezia.
The title of the show quotes the lines of the poem “Burnt Norton”, included in T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets (1943), where the theme of time as eternally present is central as both the past and the future converge in it. The garden, to which the author refers, as the space hosting the show, bears the signs of human presence and neglect but it is at the same time a poetic place, in which references to childhood and to future perspectives emerge.

Starting from this reflection on the continuity of time and on the idea of passage as a generative moment of new forms, the artworks on show emphasize an intrinsic dynamism and a transformative process in progress. The result is a fluid exhibition itinerary that immerses the viewer in an embracing situation.
The harmonious dialogue among design, painting, sculpture and installation interacts with the container of sui generis nature which, embodying the signs of time, becomes an integral part of the project.

The sensation of a state of passage from a before to an after, only apparently distinct in the immense flow of time, seems to remain constant.
