The gallery opened in February 1994 with an exhibition of works by Dadamaino, François Morellet and Gunther Uecker; this was followed by the solo exhibition by Bruno Querci and then by the exhibition of the British artist Alan Charlton. The gallery’s policy has been to stage exhibitions by artists of different generations, alternating Italians and foreigners, in order to create a dialogue and allow comparisons, as well as provide the most complete overview of contemporary art. By this meant that what already exists in the present and in the future will be memory because it manages to make new cognitive possibilities, giving rise to new openings. Everyday events, therefore, become contemporaneity in art, only when they constitute the enigmatic body of the work's soul: once its limited physicalness has been dispersed, it is perceived in the unitarity of the reciprocal involvement of all the elements comprising it, while the repetitiveness that is one of its features becomes contemporaneity in the unicum constituting it. In this sense, the exhibitions are conceived by the artists in close relationship with the gallery space so that the art work and its setting may be fully integrated. On the occasion of each exhibition a bilingual catalogue is published with a critical essay, illustrations of the works displayed in the gallery, a biographical note concerning the artist and a bibliography. The gallery is also concerned with the cataloguing of the oeuvre of Mario Nigro, whose catalogue raisonné and photographic and documentary archive are now being prepared. Since 1994 the gallery has participated in Art Cologne and Arte Fiera Bologna, and, since 1995, Art Basel; since 1999, on the occasion of these fairs, a bilingual Booklet is published with an introductory text and illustrations relating to the exhibitions described.
