For his second solo show at Alberto Peola Gallery John Jurayj introduces three recent bodies of work, including a video, sculpture and photographic negatives on paper and calf skin.

L'affossamento (foundering)

Opening: Friday 27 May 2011 from 6 – 10.30 pm

The Alberto Peola gallery is pleased to present the second exhibition of work by Gabriele Arruzzo.

The work in this exhibition grows out of the context in which it has been organised: the city of Turin, currently at the centre of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the unification of Italy. If we ask of artists to show us facts and representation from a different perspective, Arruzzo has chosen to do so by leading us into the shadier, lesser known and uncelebrated regions of that complex historical phenomenon known as the Italian Risorgimento and to refer the spectator, beginning with the title L’affossamento, to the idea of an unfinished project and revolution that in part betrayed its ideals.

For many years Fatma Bucak (Iskenderun, Turkey, 1982) has been reinterpreting the great archetypes which belong to the origins and traditions of the Mediterranean. In her intense photographic and video work not only does she summon back to life their dramatic and narrative power in the first person, but she also causes them to intimately and subversively betray their origins so as to instil them with new possible meanings and interpretations.

The theme at the heart of Laura Pugno's artistic experimentation has always been her relationship with the landscape. 

Sguardi a Occidente (Gazing West)

23 September - 30 October 2010 

Baudelaire: "Il me semble que je serai toujours bien là où je ne suis pas." In other words: it seems that I will always be happy where I am not; or simplified: wherever I am not is where I am myself; or, if we take the bull by the horns: anywhere out of this world. 
(Taken from New York Trilogy by Paul Auster)
