_ Atlas _  Rossana Taormina's solo exhibition at White Garage: by appointment until the end of August

A new project: great visual representations that reproduce and expand old photographs recovered in flea markets, obedient to the stereotype of the "souvenir photo". 

They are images that present technical errors or that bear tears due to the years: they have therefore suffered a "distortion" with respect to the "reality" they claim to represent. The images are shown on large panels in "bandiera" fabric, where Rossana Taormina intervenes through stitching and darning, exalting or concealing, thus retracing the same operation that memory performs through memories.

What survives, in the image as in the memory, is the aura of a lived time and it is iridescent and elusive in its being continuously recontextualized or evoked.

Border Crossing, the project born from an idea of Bridge Art, Dimora Oz and Casa Sponge, curated by Lori Adragna and Andrea Kantos, inaugurated in 2018 among Manifesta 12 collateral events

From May 30 to June 1, 2019 comes back to Palermo, Border Crossing, the project born from an idea of Bridge Art, Dimora Oz and Casa Sponge, curated by Lori Adragna and Andrea Kantos, inaugurated in 2018 among Manifesta 12 collateral events. The 2019 edition which inaugurates May 31 at 6:00 pm at the Garibaldi Theater, proposes the preview of a periodic format that will bring a selection of international spaces and cultural projects within the Sicilian territory. Border Crossing elaborates a synergy of public and private spaces to host productions and talks: Dimora OZ, at Palazzo Sambuca, KaOZ and the Garibaldi theater, three spaces within the program of Palermo Culture and Contemporary Magione, in a system of places of research, comparison and cultural production. The first appointment will be with Geografico #Sicilia, a project conceived by Chambres à Air, a platform created by Pietro Fortuna in Brussels. The project, which is coordinated by Lori Adragna and organized by Bridge Art / Border Crossing, involves a traveling journey by Marc Buchy (France), Pietro Fortuna (Italy), Richard Höglund (United States), Lior Gal (Israel) at various venues and art centers: (Bridge Art, Noto - Dimora Oz / KaOz, Palermo - Farm Cultural Park, Favara - Site Specific, Scicli - White Garage, Catania).
