Ferments
Exploring the creative combustion of artists, the exhibition delves into the profound transformative process of artistic creation, drawing a parallel between the concept of fermentation as a biological phenomenon and its dynamic manifestation within the realm of contemporary art. Departing from its conventional connotation, this exhibition positions "ferments" as a metaphorical space where the fermenting imagination of artists becomes a catalyst for the production of mythologies, aesthetics, and expressions that transcend the boundaries of tradition.
Just as fermenting microorganisms catalyze the transformation of matter, contemporary artists channel their inner creative ferment into a combustion of ideas, leading to personal mythologies and aesthetics that challenge established norms.
Ferments exhibition deals with the rupture with academic cannons, and deliberately breakaway from the conventional, embracing experimentation as a crucible for the generation of new forms and art approaches. The participating artists, through their diverse practices, embody the essence of creative fermentation by igniting a fiery discourse between tradition and innovation.
The exhibition is a testament to the multifaceted nature of the creative process, which ferments and matures over time. Artists featured here engage with the ideological, social, and political concerns of our contemporary society, utilizing their artworks as vessels for thought-provoking stanzas that communicate layered narratives.

Concurrences | Oblique Views
The exhibition proposes a coalescence of mediums, topics, and approaches that reflect our rich contemporary times. The artworks are concurrent and make dialogues in contraposing and aesthetic collisions, sharing the same visual space. They also confirm the freedom of innovation in the artists, away from restrictive canons and academic sets.
The artworks manifest an expansive spirit in the context of these changing times—not only due to the ongoing pandemic and its sociological and cultural mutations, but also on the emerging new art perspectives where the NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are flowing into the markets and new buyers from the techno world are coming on board in an uncertain flow of money and investment.

As viewers step into this exhibition, they will be confronted with an array of works that traverse the boundaries of mediums and genres, inviting them to embark on a journey of discovery.

Through experimentation and a fearless willingness to transgress boundaries, artists are forging novel pathways of expression. The result is an immersive experience that transcends the sum of its parts.

By embracing a diverse range of influences, artists are breathing fresh social, ideological, and personal concepts into their works. It's a confirmation of hybridity, where the juxtaposition of elements gives birth to entirely new visual languages, sparking reflections about past and present, tradition and innovation. The artworks challenge preconceived notions, beckoning the viewer to explore a multifaceted layer of meaning where topics collide, ideas converge, and boundaries dissolve.
