The exhibition “Giuseppe Gabellone” is characterized by a marked sensitivity to the context and conditions in which the artist’s works are exhibited, and he creates them in a close dialogue with the setting, intervening to produce an organic succession of works that is nevertheless always coherent and unified. Each work seems to contain the preceding one, and each new series of works raises questions that are at the foundation of the next creation, gradually evolving over the period during which the exhibition is held. The exhibition is thus perceived as an experience for generating new ideas rather than as the ultimate goal of the artist’s development.

With a strong visual impact, the interventions of Gabellone intended for Fondazione Memmo’s spaces break down traditional separations between the natural and artificial, the interior and exterior space. This is a synthesis of opposites in which the works do not seem to depend on the location so much as they respond to it, emphasizing the ephemeral aspects of the exhibition, such as its duration, its effects on the transformations of matter, and fragile equilibria between shadow and light.
