Opening: June 16- 6pm to 9pm with a text by Rosario Güiraldes and Sarah Rifky
Inches, Feet, Verse, Metre is an exhibition, a public program and a party but, most important, it is the conclusion of the New York Prize residency as a gathering of people and experiences that Ludovica Carbotta and Sara Enrico have encountered while in New York.
Falsetto (Ludovica Carbotta) and à terre, en l’air (Sara Enrico), the projects they will present for the exhibition, underline the closeness of their practices as well as the differences, emerged from their dialogues during the residency at ISCP, International Studio & Curatorial Program, in Brooklyn.
The architectural space of Marsèlleria will be understood as a panorama where the narrative and fictional approach of Carbotta’s practice will bounce towards the more abstract and rhythmical Enrico’s gaze. This horizontal landscape will extend furthermore inviting two writers/curators for an open dialogue and hosting and including images, words and sounds of other artists. Ludovica and Sara asked their peers to present a selection of their works, shaping a playlist that condenses common interests. In each of these contributions the passage between different languages describes and evokes landscapes where a detail becomes the whole, fictitious stories help to visualize things that do not exist in physical reality, or things we are yet to see or experience, and ambiguous characters perform odd and intimate relationships with their proximal environment.
