CARLA ZACCAGNINI AND RUNO LAGOMARSINO AT VERMELHO GALLERY

The encounter that drives the exhibition extends beyond the sensitive proximities evident in the approximation of a couple of artists. It is the way home that moves us away takes place ten years after the exhibition that the two artists held at the Malmö Konsthall, curated by Diana Baldon. The curator already pointed out, at that time, the many similarities between the productions of the two artists: the post-conceptual approach, the transnationalism of both biographies, institutional critique, and the revision of history, among others.
 
"Crossings, comings and goings, departures, returns, and what happens in between, are intertwined into Carla Zaccagnini's and Runo Lagomarsino's personal lives and respective works. This exhibition itself is a sort of path, where their trajectories cross and then bifurcate if only to meet again...," writes Julieta González in the exhibition text.
 
Carla Zaccagnini adds: "There is no doubt that living together brings us closer. Groups of friends, students in the same class, close relatives end up sharing references, creating a common language, collecting a repertoire of inside jokes. Over the years living together, we are infected with expressions and gestures as if they were symptoms. We read or think we've read the same books, reconstruct or reinvent each film with poorly stored scenes scattered through our memories, guide and divert each other's lines in dialogues that no one knows when they begin."

It is the way home that moves us away. Group exhibition by Carla Zaccagnini and Runo Lagomarsino.

Until March 16^th, 2024.
