SODALIZI TEMPORANEI / TEMPORARY CROSSINGS
During Milano Design Week 2025, Imperfettolab celebrates the first anniversary of Imperfettogallery, its exhibition space located on the Naviglio Grande. The occasion will be marked by a new series of their Sodalizi Temporanei, artistic collaborations that connect different disciplines and languages. The ground floor gallery hosts Sodalizi Temporanei in galleria.
Imperfettogallery invites Henzel Studio to a creative dialogue between Calle Henzel’s monumental rugs and the imposing sculptural works of Verter and Erich Turroni, creating an environment filled with unconventional synergy.
Erich Turroni
Cesena, IT, 1976
The body and identity are the basis of Erich Turroni’s artistic research. His paintings are x-rays of the being, as if wanting to grasp the essence of the individual, its interior, its physiology, the unconscious.
“In painting I like the possibility of working with transparencies and overlaps, creating rarefied and enigmatic images. What interests me is the missing mark, the emptiness that is inside and around it.” (Erich Turroni)
Verter Turroni
Cesena IT, 1965
Verter Turroni places us in front of pieces of a world without a horizon. Scraps which are the broken image of what was once whole. Chips of exploded glass. Threads which are now unravelled. Sections of a shattered entirety. Pieces of a puzzle that can’t be reassembled. Fragments which declare the end of a universe, but, together, make moments of that same universe impending, exhibiting a mutilated greatness. Turroni, with his assemblages and his installations, situates himself in a lateral position compared to reality, to linger, mainly, over minimal clues. He steals the tesserae of an exploded mosaic; opens cracks, to glimpse the outlines of the real, gathering private slivers and unearthed memories; reveals precarious equilibrium. Rather than delineating great frescos he brings into focus some frames, hiding every reference, until he reaches even abstract results. According to an idea of Benjamin he accomplishes an assertive regeneration. As a whole, his work, reintegrates ruins, he rewrites them, he redeems them.
