On this occasion Galleria Continua is pleased to present “Field of Synergy” by Chen Zhen for its 8th edition of XXL Online.
-
Continua XXL Online is an exclusive presentation of some of our artists’ biggest projects.

-
“Field of Synergy” came to Galleria Continua / San Gimignano in 2000 as part of Chen Zhen’s homonymous solo show. It's a work that offers a beautiful landscape on which to examine and understand the cruxes of his philosophy, outlook and artistic practices. This viewing room presents not only Chen Zhen’s first impressions upon seeing the gallery but also his perceptions of the space, his philosophical approach to managing the space and the realization of a work that is an insight not only into Chen Zhen’s personal story but also a tool with which we can understand what the artist called Transexperience, a new discourse that takes into account the spiritual, human, technological, material and immaterial worlds.

Curated by Ilaria Bonacossa
In collaboration with Galleria Continua
Ala Scaligera, Rocca di Angera (VA)

Artists: Jonathas De Andrade, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Carlos Garaicoa, Antony Gormley, Shilpa Gupta, Ilya & Emilia Kabakov, Zhanna Kadyrova, Sabrina Mezzaqui, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Ornaghi & Prestinari, Kiki Smith, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Ai Weiwei, Chen Zhen.
In the spaces of the Ala Scaligera, the works of 15 international artists give life in their diversity to unexpected and perhaps magical images, simultaneously seductive and frightening, capable of taking us to alternative universes far from what’s possible.
In this exhibition, curated by Ilaria Bonacossa in collaboration with Galleria Continua, the protagonist is the fantastical: relegated from the nineteenth century to the world of childhood, it becomes a way to break conventions and imagine what seems to be impossible and unknown.
Opening hours: everyday, 12.00 - 18.00, last entrance at 17.30.
(In some periods the closing of the museum could vary, for up to date information please consult the website www.isoleborromee.it)
