Massimo Guerrera

A Hyphen between the Visible and the Invisible (Darboral), 2008
From June 26 to August 31, 2008
Opening Thursday June 26 from 5pm

A Hyphen between the Visible and the Invisible (Darboral), a timeless work by Massimo Guerrera, hinges on artistic and spiritual platforms, inviting the visitor to take part in various rituals. Sharing food at a meal and sucking fruit pits, creativity workshops amidst body castings and prosthesis adjustments, bringing attention to physical and psychic modes of opening up, meditation, all create a series of elements, leaving the traces that make up Darboral.
Moving from the studio to the exhibition room on a patchwork of removable carpets, this contemplative space returns the artwork to its primary function as part of a ritual.
Through his spiritual quest, Massimo Guerrera invites the public to reach higher spheres whose immaterial volume and arborescence voluptuously fill the sacred void of the Darling Foundry's wide expanse.
