Many fiber artists are featured in the PERMANENZA | ogni cosa è impermanente (PERMANENCE-everything is impermanent) exhibition set up at iKonica Gallery in Milan from Nov. 3 to 4, 2023, curated by Erika Lacava.

The exhibition brings together the reflections of 24 artists around the theme of impermanence, touching on both universal and existential themes, such as the inevitable memento mori, and highly topical issues such as the climate emergency, psychological and emotional fragility, and social relations, moving on the shaky boundary between the two states of being and showing their constant change.

Many mediums are present in the exhibition, including painting, sculpture, photography, and video. For fiber, Jorgelina Alessandrelli‘s imposing installation underscores with its bulk the urgency of measures against melting glaciers, while Michela Cavagna‘s tentacle-like strands of yarns emerge from drawers in an extreme attempt at hypercontrol and suppression of the unexpected.

Si fa solida e indissolubile la presenza del legame sociale nel nodo in tessuto di Patrizia Fratus e nei rammendi di foto-ricordo di Oriella Montin, che creano nuove possibilità di vita a un passato che sembrava terminato. Cerca di uscire dalle gabbie di genere invece il lavoro di Marisa Iotti con una rottura fisica dello spazio della tela, allo stesso modo delle lacerazioni nel tessuto di Maria Cristina Tebaldi, da cui emergono nuovi istanti di vita.

Also on view are videos and performances according to the following schedule:

Friday, Nov. 3, from 7 p.m.: videos by Matteo Suffritti, Paola Calcatelli – performances by: Fabio Presti, Federico Poli, Daniele Ismaele Cabri

Saturday, Nov. 4, from 4:30 p.m.: videos by Antonella De Sarno, Giulietta Gheller and Alice Toccacieli – at 7 p.m. closing exhibition performance by Andrea Zimmer.

Free admission. No reservation is required.
