Amor Vacui, five young Italian artists

Five young Italian artists offer five events in a space in central Milan, five points of view which share a creative gesture which is primarily about synthesis and abstraction. This is the idea behind the exhibition "Amur Vacui", at Openspace – Palazzo dell’Arengario in Milan with work by the group A12, Marzia Migliora, Marco Papa, Luisa Rabbia and Roberta Silva.

No images, instead a space articulated in a dialogue which is introduced to us with "Stop-Motion" by the group A12, holding back our passage and ideally sterilising the environment. Marzia Migliora produces sounds which are silent noises, Robert Silva turns on light sources where they shouldn’t be, Marco Papa obscures areas from which luminosity should filter, Luisa Rabbia invents flying objects from the hours counted, breaths of life. A sensorial project which hopes to transmit " the subtle pleasure of the evanescence", a light flow of ‘nothing’ in an daily existence crowded with images.

For the opening this evening at 19.00, two giant screens in piazza San Babila and corso Europa will show a piece by Marco Papa: the trailer of the performance directed by Duccio Fabbri which will take place the day of the opening at Openspace. On 24 February (at 18.30 and19.00) there will be a showing of the video by Luisa Rabbia which documents the evolution of her work and the closing of the exhibition.

The exhibition has been promoted by the Settore Giovani of the Comune di Milano and has been conceived and organised by Milovan Farronato and Laura Garbarino.
