Pierre et Gilles
HORTUS CONCLUSUS. L’ILLUSIONE DI UN PARADISO – GROUP SHOW

From June 3 to November 8 2020
Via S. Biagio 9, 6500 Bellinzona, Suisse

The exhibition starts with the Christian allegory of the enclosed garden – image of the Paradise and the virginity of Mary – and the Greek myth of the Rape of Europa, which relates the heroic journey of a kidnapped young girl, founder of European civilization. While Western art has assimilated and propagated these two iconographies since the Middle Ages, their study still offers a key to contemplate the works of contemporary artists who explore the relationship between man and his territory, between identity and culture. Like the United States, Europe seems today to defend the idea of a hortus conclusus , a new Eden inaccessible and surrounded by walls, both physical and mental. Works by contemporary artists such as Pierre et Gilles are introduced with a section of prints of the 15th, 16th and 17th century from Albrecht Dürer, to Hendrick Goltzius and Remoldus Eynhoudts.

Henceforth, it is important to question the status of these creations, and to question their representation in space. The exhibition organized by the Centre de la gravure et de l’imprimerie, is composed in multiple pieces , among which three pieces of Jean-Michel Alberola, interrogating in a colorful manner, this recent field of creativity.

He has developed a long theory on linear images, as well as on interrupted or suspended actions. Julião Sarmento’s works are not studies, they are finished works. By reversing the Renaissance rules, they present the non finito as finito.
