EDDart presents a group exhibition bringing together artists from different generations around the idea of time. Time carefully recorded and time merely evoked; time fixed by the photographer\u2019s craft or reworked through the continuous narrative of television; the suspended time of leisure and the time crystallized through the measured and skillful use of evocative objects. <\/p>\n\n
Some works measure the passage of time through dates, numbers, and months, as in the case of Tano Festa: calendars that become solid objects or pieces of furniture in his works on paper from the early 1960s. Mario Schifano, on the other hand, turns to an agenda and drawing to visualize the year 1973. Both Festa and Schifano also employ photography, later painted over, in their celebrated emulsioned canvases: it is no coincidence that Piazza del Popolo is evoked in the former\u2019s work, while the latter freezes time at \u201c9:30 pm\u201d or continues to search for \u201cThe Exact Time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
The profession of the photographer is addressed in a sculpture by Mario Ceroli, which seems to observe\u2014almost ideally\u2014the works of Jeff Bark, Elisabeth von Samsonow, Franco Vimercati, Corrado Sassi, and Roberto Cavanna. Here too, artists of different ages and backgrounds are brought together by a shared effort to reflect on the use of photography and on the desire entrusted to this medium to \u201cstop time.\u201d And if, as Roland Barthes wrote, photography \u201cdoes not necessarily say what is no longer, but only and certainly what has been,\u201d it is precisely around this possibility that some of the images in the exhibition are articulated. For Francesca Dusci\u00e0, instead, it is painting alone that can think time\u2014through familiar or mysterious symbols suggested by the history of art and by the study of physics. <\/p>\n\n
