Renaissance venue of the

PALMIERI FOUNDATION, LECCE | ITALY

The paintings are made by those who look at them (Marcel Duchamp)

The otherness in art is given by the comparison between the body of the work and that of the observer. This exchange of glances indicates that at the two ends of the visual optical framework there are two seeing bodies: the body of the observer and that of the work. The work closes its vital circuit when in front of it there is a gaze that questions it and in the reflection between one and the other, we find the body-to-body between the artist and the observer.

The exhibition invites us to reflect on the dualism between otherness, visibility and invisibility, through an imaginary Venus’s Mirror.  In this context,  a calendar of events will enliven the exhibition days with talk shows, live performances and the review of Video Art & Digital Culture entitled WITH YOUR EYES to getting to know some of the most representative artists on the international contemporary scene, including young talents and established names.
