Due Mondi: Kensuke Karasawa e Francesca Rivetti

For the first time in Italy, the exhibition features a selection of recent works by the Japanese artist Kensuke Karasawa (Aichi, Japan, 1987) and Francesca Rivetti (Milan, 1972), who here will present her latest project, “I Want To Talk To Seymour Too”.

Due Mondi is a show revolving around two fundamental themes. Nature, first of all, which despite not constituting the specific subject of any of the works on display, remains a source of inspiration throughout. Secondly, as the artists place the act of looking at the heart of their research, perception itself is the other theme, along with the complex dynamics of mediation that from direct experience lead to representation. This is something of a metalinguistic approach, aimed at investigating for the first time the expressive language adopted – sculpture in Karasawa’s case, photography in that of Rivetti – and yet exploited by both without rigidity, blending the geometric rigour of the scientific study with atmospheres warmed by intimacy and bursts of authentic visionary power.
