4409.72 Miles 9125 Days. 25 Years of Art Discourse from Buenos Aires to Miami

The show to progress on two parallel tracks: the study and reinterpret the gallery’s 25 year history and its current activity and future plans. Hence, the decision to dedicate a special place to the four Miami-based artists currently represented –Felice Grodin (b. 1969, Italy), Michael Loveland (b. 1973, Miami), Chu Teppa (b.1972, Cordoba) and Alex Trimino – who are each presenting solo projects especially conceived for this occasion and displayed in four shipping containers positioned at the gallery’s exterior.

The rest of the show includes more than fifty international artists, from masters as such Francis Bacon, Wifredo Lam and Antoni Tapies, to the young and up-and-coming, whose work is exhibited inside the galleries. The artworks are arranged in eight groups that began to take shape as the research developed: Color; History; Human Body/Portraits; Materia & Forma; Patterns; Symbolism; Text; and Vacío.

No specific chronological order was followed in devising the salon-style exhibition design allowing the groups to form solely based on formal or conceptual commonalities that emerged amongst the pool of artworks that make up the extensive inventory.

Fascinating and unexpected dialogues arose as the works violently collided into each other or politely engaged in subtle conversations.

The possibilities for exchanges amongst the works presented are indeed endless. Despite its structure, in fact, the show aims to present a fluid discourse in the form of a diary documenting the past 25 years of a love story between Diana and ‘her’ artists. No barriers or signage separate the various sections in the hope that viewers will let their eyes wander and their synapses run wild and connect as many dots as possible allowing for their own stories to emerge.
