Quasi niente
Giuseppe Lo Cascio, Lorenzo Montinaro
January 11 - February 10, 2024
Contemporary Cluster很高興於1月11日星期四推出Quasi niente ，這是朱塞佩·洛·卡西奧和洛倫佐·蒙蒂納羅位於義大利羅馬Contemporary Cluster當代藝術畫廊的兩人展覽，本展覽旨在探索個別藝術家的研究，其緊迫性是由透過不同的表達方式解決，但往往重合在多種背景下所驅動的主題，包括記憶和時間的維度。被佔用的房間專注於一方和另一方的實踐，以相互的節奏涉及雙方的移植，從中實現進行完美的交叉嫁接——模仿共享辯證法的時代。
Contemporary Cluster is glad to present on Thursday, January 11, Quasi Niente, a two-person exhibition by Giuseppe Lo Cascio and Lorenzo Montinaro accompanied by a critical text by Lorenzo Madaro. The exhibition aims to explore the research of the respective artists, whose urgency is driven by themes that address multiple contexts including the dimensions of Memory and Time, through their different, yet often coinciding, modes of expression. Occupied rooms focus on the practice of one and the other by providing grafts from both sides at an alternating pace and accomplishing a full intersection in the middle - mimicking times when dialectics are shared.

➤ Lorenzo Montinaro
Giuseppe Lo Cascio（1997年生於巴勒莫）的作品通過使用檔案和社會記憶來講述和揭示權力動態。在Lo Cascio的作品中，對物品的去功能化，比如空文件夾，成為了未被言說的隱喻。他的作品挑戰對收納的認識，邀請人們思考社會構造中選擇性敘事的問題。
在與時間的儀式舞蹈中，Lorenzo Montinaro（1997年生於塔蘭托）抹去了石匠在墓地附近恢復的墓碑上的銘文，將被遺忘的場景從遺忘中拯救出來，從事矛盾的保存行為。在Montinaro的可見移除和Lo Cascio的概念性虛無的交匯中，出現了共同的主題共鳴。這兩位藝術家都面對著記憶的無常，其中“缺席”成為一個基本的轉折點，邀請觀眾面對存在的短暫性質。
The practice of Giuseppe Lo Cascio (Palermo, 1997) narrates and reveals power dynamics through the use of archives and social memory. In Lo Cascio's defunctionalization of objects, empty folders, for example, become metaphors for the unspoken. Challenging perceptions of containment, his work invites contemplation of the selective narratives of social constructs. In a ritual dance with and against time, Lorenzo Montinaro (Taranto, 1997) erases the inscriptions of tombstones recovered by stonemasons near cemeteries, rescuing forgotten scenarios from oblivion and engaging in paradoxical preservations. In the convergence of Montinaro's visible removals and Lo Cascio's conceptual voids, a common thematic resonance emerges. Both artists confront the impermanence of memory where Absence becomes a fundamental hinge, inviting viewers to confront the transitory nature of existence.
