Transitum, Fabrizio Cotognini

Transitum, Fabrizio Cotognini‘s first solo exhibition presented by BUILDING and curated by Marina Dacci, is conceived as an excursus on his artistic research, articulated in several chapters, which are fluidly woven into the exhibition space forming a web of connections.

The exhibition, part of a project spread across three venues in the city of Milan – BUILDING GALLERY, Gallery Moshe Tabibnia and Bagatti Valsecchi Museum,explores and draws heavily on iconographies of the past inspired by epic, mythology, and alchemy.
In this macro-narrative, concepts of transformation, memory, identity, and knowledge take shape: in these the imagines agentes actualize our relationship with the ancient to interrogate our present. Thus, the figurative elements of the imagines agentes act as temporal condensations capa- ble of activating our memory.
