Antonini Milano once more opens its prestigious frescoed spaces and its internal courtyard to the public on the occasion of miart 2021, the most important international fair in Italy dedicated to contemporary art. Thanks to LCA Studio Legale, AXA XL and Apice’s collaboration throughout the years as well as the support of the Galleria Minini and the Galleria Continua, an exhibition of Sabrina Mezzaqui is held in the beautiful framework of the Palazzo Borromeo.
Sabrina Mezzaqui is an artist who manages, through a process of reflective self-discipline, to revitalize and express the essential detachment from words using images and objects. The principle of distance, cultivated in the secret rooms of an intimacy that is reflected in her choices of life and in her periods of isolation and suspension, reverberates in a practice – as meticulous as it is compulsive – where construction and deconstruction follow one another.
“This work is a manual copy of the pages of ‘Denktagebuch – Notebooks and Diaries 1950-1973′ by Hannah Arendt, ed. BEAT, a publication of 29 handwritten workbooks, in which the author notes and deepens her reflections. The copying allows an in-depth reading, a dictation of the text, sometimes intellectually incomprehensible, but which, however, from the eyes travels through the body to the hand, from page (read) to page (written). A true copy of printed pages. Meditation on the process of writing and reading. The act of reading. The faculty of thinking. Rethinking thoughts, reflecting, in search of the truth”, these are the words of the artist, who will be present at the inauguration of the exhibition scheduled for Wednesday, September 15, 2021.
