The marina bastianello gallery is pleased to present the group exhibition titled Magazzino, celebrating the hidden value of the works of art conserved in warehouses and their relevance in contemporary art. On this occasion, the storage, traditionally a place of preservation and protection, becomes the beating heart of the gallery, bringing to the fore works that have been exhibited in the past but tell stories of research and innovation. The Magazzino exhibition aims to recover these works, placing them side by side with more

recent and unpublished pieces, putting them on the same visual level, despite their different

times and genres.

The exhibition brings together the work of twelve artists who, through a broad spectrum of

techniques and languages - from painting to sculpture to the use of new media - present

works that are oriented as much towards the essential as towards a representation of art in

its complexity, emphasising the communicative power of each individual work.

The works on display come from the following artists of the gallery: Nico Angiuli, Agostino

Bergamaschi, Orianne Castel, Nico Covre, Iginio De Luca, Graziano Folata, Sophie

Franza, Beatrice Gelmetti, Chiara Peruch, Francesco Piva, Wang Jingyun and

Christopher Webb. A unique opportunity to discover behind the scenes of artistic production, where the invisible becomes the protagonist.

During the opening, a sound improvisation entitled Magazzino Live by the artist Francesco Piva will take place, exploring the potential of listening in the space-time of an ephemeral experience. The Soundscape is the vehicle for a dialogue between sound, space and the presence of the public.
