FUTURO REMOTO

Suspended space and time.

A return to the essential, to the ancestral dimension of origins, to a remote past of darkness and symbols; a return to man’s innate need to express soul, thought, fears, knowledge without superstructures; to grasp the light in the dark.

 

This is the atmosphere evoked by the Giancarlo Ligabue Foundation in the event set up in Venice’s Palazzo Erizzo Ligabue from April 18 to 27 with an exhibition of 10 photographs by artist Domingo Milella (Bari, 1981), who has been carrying out his creative research for nearly a decade in the most important historiated prehistoric Caverns in the history of the human species.

 

The setting up and opening after sunset of the FUTUROREMOTO exhibition (free visits by reservation required at 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.), in the rooms of the Venetian palace on the Grand Canal stripped bare by the work the Foundation has begun, with a view to the public use of the venue and the birth of what is already being called the “Palace of the Arts,” is intended to evoke darkness, an essential element of Milella’s research.
