RIMINI80. Viaggio nell’Immaginario metropolitano della Rimini di Tondelli

Rimini – Ott 2025 – gen 2026

“Rimini80. Viaggio nell’Immaginario metropolitano della Rimini di Tondelli” è un progetto di ricerca e narrazione espositiva dedicato all’immaginario urbano della Rimini degli anni Ottanta attraverso lo sguardo di Pier Vittorio Tondelli. La mostra esplora la città come spazio culturale e generazionale, dove letteratura, fotografia, musica e cultura pop contribuiscono alla costruzione di una nuova identità urbana. Materiali d’archivio, documenti e riferimenti visivi ricostruiscono atmosfere, linguaggi e trasformazioni sociali di un decennio che ha segnato profondamente la percezione contemporanea della città.

PINBOARD ART

Sascha Venturi

Frankfurt – Nov 2025

In Pinboard Art, Sascha Venturi transforms a simple domestic gesture — pinning an image to the wall — into a conceptual strategy that redefines visibility. What is typically decorative becomes a suspended space that resists spectacle and demands conscious attention. Central to the project is a contractual condition requiring collectors to place the work in marginal or overlooked areas, shifting art away from traditional display dynamics. By overturning the hierarchy between centre and periphery, visible and invisible, Venturi turns art into a quiet exercise in perception, inviting viewers to reconsider what they habitually ignore.

SAVE THE LETTER PROJECT

Sascha Venturi

Frankfurt – Nov 2025

SAVE Letter Project operates within relational and conceptual art, transforming a simple gesture into an act of participation. Venturi sends a blank white envelope containing an empty sheet, marked only by the word “SAVE” placed where the stamp should be. This minimal intervention shifts the focus from object to action, inviting recipients to reflect, respond, and reactivate the meaning of communication itself. In a time dominated by automated digital exchanges, the project restores value to slowness, physical presence, and personal engagement. The work ultimately lives not in the envelope, but in the conversations, reflections, and connections it generates.

TOUCH ME NOT

Sascha Venturi

Frankfurt – Nov 2025

Presented during a studio visit at Atelier Frankfurt, Touch Me Not explores the hybrid territory between human sensitivity and artificial intelligence. What initially appears familiar — ripe fruit, milk, confectionery textures — gradually shifts into unsettling ambiguity, evoking organic forms that blur the boundaries between body and matter. Through this tension between attraction and repulsion, the project challenges the limits of perception and questions the role of the viewer in an increasingly artificial visual landscape. More than a series of images, Touch Me Not becomes a perceptual experience that invites reflection on identity, corporeality, and the fragile line between the natural and the constructed.

SOLO PROIEZIONE

Sascha Venturi

Frankfurt – Nov 2025

Presented during a studio visit at Atelier Frankfurt, Sascha Venturi’s Solo Proiezione explores the fragile threshold between action and stillness, capturing the moment when light becomes memory and reality turns into reflection. By freezing projected moving images, Venturi investigates not only what we see, but the very act of seeing itself. His work transforms the viewing space into an intimate, suspended environment where silence, doubt, and perception take center stage. More than a photographic series, Solo Proiezione offers a contemplative experience that invites viewers to question what is visible, what remains hidden, and how memory shapes both.

LO SPETTRO DELL’ACQUA

Annalisa Mercuri

Erbè, Verona – 2025

The exhibition moves along the threshold between presence and disappearance, where water becomes a metaphor for time, memory, and change. Annalisa Mercuri intertwines intimate gestures and collective rituals to invite slowness, care, and renewed connection.
At its center, The World Weather Diary (launched April 22, 2024) brings together 160 participants across 43 countries in a shared reflection on climate change and our collective responsibility toward the planet.
In parallel, water traces from the Adige, Garda, Adriatic, and Tartaro are presented on fine papers, including Narushima Washi—where material and memory meet.
Mercuri’s practice unfolds as a quiet meditation on time and belonging.

PHYSIS GLITCH
Reclaiming the Ineffable

Roberto Davolio

Hong Kong – 2025

PHYSIS GLITCH – Reclaiming the Ineffable was a solo exhibition by Italian artist Roberto Davolio, which I had the pleasure to curate at Novalis Art Design in Hong Kong, supported by the Consulate General of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute. Using the device Hermes, Davolio introduced new algorithms that disrupted the camera’s pre-set ones, generating unexpected visual outcomes and revealing hidden layers of reality. Inspired by Eastern aesthetics, his vibrant, geometric images reinterpreted reality, engaging the senses and intuition. The exhibition encouraged viewers to reconsider how we perceive reality and how technology can be a tool for expanding, rather than distorting, our understanding of it.

LUCID SLEEP

Ruggero Facchin

Verona – 2023

Facchin depicts levitating bodies suspended in an uncanny dimension. They stand as sentinels guarding our mysteries, ambassadors of a new vision, seers foretelling our revolution. Positioned at the threshold between reason and the irrational, between sleep and wakefulness, life and death, they navigate the depths of the unconscious, embracing dreamlike flashes and untamed expressive potential.

HEAD

Ruggero Facchin

Verona – 2023

Facchin reinterprets the Renaissance humanist Paolo Giovio’s collection of portraits of illustrious men, guiding us through an exploration of identity. His expressive approach brings forth their uniqueness and irreproducibility. The undefined gaze in these portraits alludes to an inner vision, capable of revealing hidden truths.

ICONE
RITMI E RISONANZE DELLA GEOMETRIA (1968-1972)

Giorgio Olivieri

“[…] it is space itself that becomes a body, both positively and negatively. […] Olivieri’s ‘icon’ are not effigies. Rather, they are objectifications of space“. Roberto Sanesi – Traduzione di Federica Viola

CHIEDEvano

Annalisa Mercuri

This work denounces gender-based violence through twelve prints, each representing a different method by which women have been killed by their loved ones, according to data from ISTAT and CAD Brescia. Created using the Japanese Mokuhanga technique, the prints reproduce real police reports and are then symbolically “killed,” emphasizing the fragility of unheard cries for help. The title plays on the Italian word chiedevano, composed of CHIEDE (she asks for help) and vano (in vain), highlighting how pleas for aid often go tragically unanswered.
