LORIS CECCHINI and ALESSIO DE GIROLAMO

Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (UABB) in Shenzhen 

Futian railway station 

Shenzhen, China  

Directed by Carlo Ratti, Meng Jianmin, Fabio Cavallucci.

The Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture or UABB is currently the only biennial in the world that is exclusively based on themes of urbanism and urbanization. Located in the quickly urbanizing Pearl River Delta, the biennial is organized collaboratively by the two closely situated cities, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. 2019’s edition focuses on Urban Interactions as its theme that is then divided into two parallel sections, ‘Eyes of the City’ and ‘Ascending City’. Under the latter section, Loris Cecchini presents the work Waterbones (black) + L System, sound produced by Alessio de Girolamo; his instantly recognizable steel modules on a black background resemble organic forms while evoking a scientific and industrial production. The main venue of the biennial, the Futian underground high-speed railway station in Shenzhen, through its exhibition design, succeeds in associating the anonymity of the urban experience with the concept of an urban gateway to a potentially digitally augmented city.

A journey to unknown and open territories, Black Forest is a walk through our existential doubts at the Fondation Clément, the contemporary art center at the Habitation Clément in Martinique.  Themes like the global village, travel, cultural identity, globalization and the permeability of borders are communicated through Tayou’s ever-fantastical and explosive sculpture, drawing, painting, installation and poetry.

group exhibition 

El Espacio 23  

2270 NW 23 Street, Miami, USA 

El Espacio 23 is located in a former 28,000 square foot warehouse in the Allapattah neighborhood. Opened by Jorge M. Perez, it will not only provide space for contemporary artists to exhibit but also for the development of current working artists with three apartments designed as residencies for artists and curators. The inaugural exhibition, ‘Time for Change: Art and Social Unrest in the Jorge M. Pérez Collection’, focuses on the notion of art and the artist as an agent for social change that can explore the conflicts and contradictions of contemporary society. An interest in the marginalized aspects of society and history ties together the nearly 100 works by over 80 artists including Michelangelo Pistoletto, Jonathas De Andrade, Carlos Garaicoa and Ai Weiwei.

site-specific installation 

Ocean front at Lincoln Road 

Miami Beach, USA

During Miami Art Week 2019, Order of Importance comes to South Beach; a monumental site-specific installation that consists of 66 life-size replicas of cars and trucks that will be left to slowly degrade for the duration of the 15-day exhibition. The sand manifestations of vehicles are frozen in time and represent an immoveable modernity that makes a stark contrast with the natural, changeable and ultimately temporary material with which they are made.
