About
Mars presents Tamara Ferioli’s solo exhibition “Suddenly, a magnetic dark”, curated by Fabio Carnaghi.
“Suddenly, a magnetic dark" is the second appointment of a further exposition program hosted in the multiform space of Mars. “Îles de Mars” is a pun, a metaphor for explorers, an ambiguous toponym about a geography reinvented by the artistic experience. Îles de Mars is therefore a dreamed - but never completely explored - land.
Tamara Ferioli’s research finds in Icelandic nature a rich source of imagines sometimes in the form of visionary drawings, sometimes in the form of sculptures or installations. The aesthetic and emotional continuity between Iceland and Ferioli’s sensitivity is immersive to the point that this approach becomes horizon - both geographic and exploratory - of the artist’s research.
Ferioli takes the second stage of “îles de Mars” inspired by plant architecture. The botanical variety Ascophillum Nodosum is a seaweed particularly widespread along the northern ocean coasts, very long-lived, suspended on the water and anchored to the rocks of the coast. “Suddenly, a magnetic dark” includes specimens collected by Ferioli in one of his frequent reconnaissances on the Icelandic beaches - in this case near the lighthouse of Gròtta Island - challenging the tides. The installation interacts with a photographic repertoire that Ferioli has brought together in an imaginary archive between reality, dream and mystery, between dazzling patches of light and unexpected suspensions in the dark.
Tamara Ferioli (Legnano, 1982) lives and works in Milan. After studies at Ecole des Beaux Arts de Lyon and at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan she has exhibited her works in museums and art galleries in Italy and in Europe, such as Italian Pavillion, Milan Expo 2015; 56° Biennale di Venezia; Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan; Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato; MAMbo, Bologna; Acquario Civico, Milan; CCCB, Barcelona; Palazzo Reale, Milan; La Venaria Reale, Turin; Triennale, Milan.
