Gruppo Eya Repertrix

This is the second solo show for Gruppo Eya at the gallery. On display is the brand new installation, Repertrix, which further explores and extends some of the themes dealt with in their previous exhibition, Pozor, and in the piece, Forma Mentis, seen in the recent group show Sette artisti della Scena Italiana, sculture ed installazioni nelle Stanze di Rigoletto (Seven Artists from the Italian Scene, Sculptures and Installations in Rigoletto’s Rooms). Now, Magda Selis and Alessandro Vallainc have condensed into the two installations on show, human nature suspended between affection and dislike. Mixing throwbacks to the past, thoughts, actions, and technology, the works grab the attention of all those who see them. . Repertrix (inventor of the arts) is a sophisticated act of creation that awakens thoughts and memories. The piece contains objects and photographic images that evoke ancient rituals of nature and maternity: metaphors of a condition poised between content and container. A Webcam transmits images of the installation, situated on the lower floor of the gallery, and the changes it undergoes as the hours pass. These real time images are then projected onto the wall next to the window on the gallery’s upper floor to create a further artifice.
