Marcela Cernadas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smeg Store, Via della Moscova, Milano<\/p>\n

From 13 to 23 September 2018<\/p>\n

Manon Comerio is pleased to present KITCHEN, the new work by Marcela Cernadas conceived for the spaces of the Smeg Store in Via della Moscova. The original Milanese project is organized by Manon Comerio Art Projects and AROMI in collaboration with the Michela Rizzo Gallery.<\/p>\n

KITCHEN is the title that the artist gave to his \"long-term project\" which includes photographs, poetic texts, environmental installations, objects and performances. The central figures of the project are the analysis of still life as a form of representation, of the banquet as a form of convivial art and of the environment where these figures \"happen\". A recognizable trait in the works of Cernadas, it is the formal synthesis that from time to time surprises us for its symbolic strength capable of declining both towards the sobriety of the monochromes and towards the sumptuousness of the colors. A dialectical and pulsating tension that does not a priori exclude materials as in the case of its impalpable imprints on paper, fabrics or crystal and which for the first time is confronted with the ceramic chosen for this singular project.<\/p>\n

In a text by Marcela Cernadas we read:<\/p>\n

I have been studying food and its handling for more than a decade; the banquet and its relationship with luxury; nourishment and its indissoluble link with essentiality, rituality and vitality. Many of my works have delved into the fragile balance of still life and many of them were conceived in kitchens. In that border area between everyday life and creativity. The Kitchen project is nothing more than a mirror of that border area which for one hundred consecutive days has returned the shape of the kitchen of my own studio and of the kitchens I lived in during my travels. A form of immediate and convivial expression that pushes me once again to question the meaning of food and the meaning of its aesthetic and social representations.<\/p>\n

And in the poetic intentions for the Milanese project he deepens:<\/p>\n

In formal terms, in the environmental installation - a frieze made up of seventy photographs printed on ceramic - I collect a series of recurring elements in my works such as the shell and the pomegranate. This frieze recalls the shape of a polyptych which by definition refers to sacredness, a fundamental aspect of my work, made evident on various occasions, especially in the series of triptychs on the flesh. In symbolic terms, I gave the work the title of \"kitchen\" thinking of this place as the abode of everyday life and as the abode of the divine to quote Heraclicus - who in the process of receiving unexpected guests and struggling with the preparation of food in his kitchen manifest\u00f3 -: \u201cCome in. Do not be afraid. Here too there are gods \u201d.<\/p>\n

Together with the frieze, created in collaboration with the MORELATO company and the MAAM (Museum of Applied Furniture Arts), an unpublished statement by the artist and a limited series of porcelain plates with the same title will be exhibited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
