Anne & Patrick Poirier, Marco Tirelli, Giuseppe Uncini ARCHITETTURA – SPAZIALITÀ – ARTEFATTO Curated by Lóránd Hegyi


Galleria Fumagalli presents the first exhibition of the program “MY30YEARS - Coherency in Diversity”, a series of shows conceived and curated by internationally renowned Hungarian critic Lóránd Hegyi, which intends to celebrate the 30-year-long career of Annamaria Maggi, head of the gallery since 1991.

The project aims at offering an insight into the aesthetic and curatorial orientation followed by #galleriafumagalli over the last three decades, highlighting its coherency, but also with the intention of stimulating new perspectives on the interpretation of great masters’ oeuvre in dialogue with younger artists. Each of the eight exhibitions of the program “MY30YEARS - Coherency in Diversity” showcases the work of three artists curated or represented by the Gallery, belonging to different generations and groups, coming from different cities and countries, representing different approaches and methodological strategies, yet linked to some communal aesthetic ideas. As stated by curator Lóránd Hegyi in the critical text that accompanies the exhibition «It is our intention to present the selected works in light of a permanent, impartial, regenerating reinterpretation, as actually happens in the real historical-cultural process of revaluation and radical reinterpretation of the works of art. It is a process – historically legitimate, inevitable or even necessary – in which the younger generations of artists project their understanding of art onto the historical-cultural situation, and accept these conditions through a legitimate free will, selecting for themselves [and pursuing] a radical revision and re-evaluation of the inherited, conventional systems, as well as - despite the apparent discontinuity and criticism – a continuity and permanence of certain basic ideas, or the durability of various components of their value systems, which can survive long after their creation, long after the dissolution of their original conceptual contexts and which can be included in the new mental realities

The first exhibition “Architettura - Spazialità – Artefatto” brings together the works by Anne & Patrick Poirier, #marcotirelli, #giuseppeuncini allowing a plausible and poetically incisive reading of some thematic orientations of theirs without suggesting any forced uniformity. The words architecture, spatiality, artifact are actualized in their works in different ways, but all combining architectural aspects, the search for spatial presence and a metaphorical meaning of the artifact.

While the work of Anne & Patrick Poirier combines archetypal architectural forms with current human meanings and experiences, providing a continuous metaphorical reinterpretation and an update of the historical-cultural, collective and conventional heritage, the plastic exploration of #giuseppeuncini results in works that unfold in space as concrete, tangible, yet never mimetic but abstract, and which evoke a stimulating, dynamic spatial situation and a sense of noble simplicity. To close the triad, Marco Tirelli’s works show architectural forms that are deliberately enigmatic, and bear poetic allusions to personal memories, imaginary situations and mental associations detached from any understandable context, in front of which the viewer becomes part of an indefinite and spiritual event that takes place in a metaphorical space.
