Thanks Alex Waespi for participating since our 240 grand street ( at Bowery ) days. Love ### gab, pax and team. Pls gentle peeps, tune in onto Waespi poetics. Show at ours coming this spring.

Featured this week: Elena Cucci world of empty interiors commands attention and time to be savored in full. Both paradigms force us to slow down and allow the space to fill up, sometimes with our own memories of things past, other times with pirate thoughts hijacking our attention for good, and again sometimes with fantasies of things that are yet to come. We will be bringing a series of these oil paintings on canvas The Others Art Fair in less than a month and I personally can’t wait to set them up at the old parcheggio Lancia.

Featured this week: Eleonora Rossi has rocked our space last year with a soulful, intellectual and sensuous rendition of Roland Barthes’ Fragments of a Lover’s Discourse. We stared at the work, that featured mostly diptychs including torn and painted over pages of the book, wondering what is it about paint on paper that feels so light, thin, yet inescapable, inevitable. Something you must look at and reckon with. We adore these “disegni al pennello” and can’t wait to introduce you to Eleonora’s new works which we will premiere at la Nuvola during the art fair in Rome, later this fall.

Featured this week: “pirata”, oil on canvas, 70x100cm. Pax research has constantly evolved throughout three decades. A virtuosa who masters several languages and techniques, Pax has never betrayed her main source of inspiration: the pure, stout and glimmering heart of kids and teenagers in her immediate circle of affection. When we say that in great art the particular always transcends into the universal I think of her unwavering commitment to relationships and the loved ones.

Nel contemplare Agosto abbracciati preventivamente al condizionatore ci teniamo a darvi la rinfrescante novella che la vostra galleria di quartiere preferita parteciperà ad “Effetto Sauna” ( nome quantomai appropriato visti i tempi ) dal 9 all’11 ottobre, con opere di Pax e Gloria Pasotti nell’ambito di ArtVerona . Questa rassegna, curata da Tomás Ba, mette in dialogo due artiste che fanno della fotografia un cardine importante della propria ricerca. Non potremmo essere più orgogliosi di partecipare e di rendere possibile questo dialogo. A Verona!

I’ve known Hbbb for a while and have spent quite a few years wondering about this one Americano. He is Sicilian in a way, has very many things in common with my kin: wit, a sense and a taste for revenge, sophisms,sarcasm, a penchant for the absurdity of life that sometimes precedes him. A love for food and real places: places with zero garnish so to say. This post is coming late, his pop up was yesterday, but we were busy catching up, trying restaurants like in the old days, and generically trying to stay away from bad vibes. We succeeded. Peter: come back when you feel like. Pete’s postcards are gonna be on view forever. Come see them and arraff’ one or two. All are welcome, good vibes only.

Con grande gioia accogliamo tra le nostre file , un’artista e una persona magnifica che lavora con integrità e dedizione alle sua visone. Vi prego di accorrere nella nostra sede di via crescenzo del monte 8 questo venerdì 29 Maggio alle 18:00 per dare un’occhiata alle sue opere, e goderne il silenzio e le eco lontane. Nel frattempo salutiamo anche in grande stile lo spazio che abbiamo abitato per un anno e mezzo restituendolo alla famiglia fiammeri e svuotandolo a poco a poco, elidendoci come in una tela di Elena. Ci vediamo il 29.

Qualcosa si è mosso. Gli obiettivi sono sempre stati gli stessi, la qualità, l’espressione di sé, senza mai perdere la gentilezza, l’eleganza. Ma i tentativi si sono fatti sempre più esatti, con meno approssimazione, con ancora più cura. Ogni volta di più. È questa la strada. Facciamone un altro pochino assieme. All are welcome, good vibes only since 2016.
