In a world undergoing continuous transformation, the embrace of transdisciplinarity emerges as a guiding beacon—one that opens new directions for exploring the complexities of contemporary life. This approach—fluid, intuitive, and critical—proposes a deeper understanding of interconnectedness, seeking to illuminate new metaphorical horizons.
art/if/acts. Liminal Territories situates itself at this intersection: between functional artifact and artwork, between function and affect, between gesture and narrative. The exhibition investigates how both the functional artifact and the work of art—each conceived to index meaning—become sites of metaphysical inquiry and aesthetic resonance. They reverberate with the gestures of those who created them, the systems that shaped them, and the bodies with which they came into contact. These objects carry traces of their makers’ intentionalities, their questions, and their negotiations with the world around them. Ritualistic repetition, accumulation, tension, serenity, and equilibrium emerge as narrative threads woven throughout the exhibition. These are not arbitrary aesthetic choices, but rather indicators of a profound engagement with contemporary realities—with their pressures, ecstasies, and contradictions. In this context, the anguish and the sublime are not opposing forces, but complementary polarities that coexist through gesture, medium, and metaphor.
art/if/acts. Liminal Territories invites us into this interstitial space—to look beyond the visible and turn toward the metaphorical universe of each artist, who weaves a tapestry of nuanced understanding around current narratives, challenging disciplinary boundaries and the limits that separate them. The exhibition proposes a reading of the ensemble of works as a collective portrait
of the present, articulated through a series of gestures that oscillate between the subtle and the radical.
Looking forward to see you at opening!
