Notes from the city, Notes from the land

Evolving from the artists' separate bodies of work, this project addresses the processing of ideas, documenting their evolution through continued measurement of the ‘real’: the inside and the outside, their border.
Where is the point where one thing ends and all the rest begin?
Sara Serighelli is responding to the process of two young artists, providing insight and an interpersonal bridge across two strong artistic voices and synthetizing the underlying sense in her writing. She is considering New York City as one of the two faces of America; the other is Nature. Serighelli finds each reflected in the work of two artists -Anabela Zigova and Antonio Rovaldi. Though they work separately, Zigova and Rovaldi live in New York and share a background of recent resettlement from Europe.
One of the two artists look inside the vibrant city and the communities that lives in it, and the other examine the space outside seen as a natural landscape surrounding the city in its multidimensional force.
Does a real border, different laws ruling these two Americas that attract and push each other away so thoroughly exist? Does a real edge between human history and natural history exist?
Rovaldi draws a cultural history of landscape and a reading of nature through literature and journey. He will present a body of work based on Henry David Thoreau, a man who left the city to rediscover, in nature, the rules of human society.
Zigova digs inside the New York City alienation process: exclusionary zones and the violence applied or implied by and against those in specific social roles, corrupted referential systems, the presumed credibility of existing paradigms versus rejected utopias, through an intimate emotional experience, occasioning breaks in stereotyped roles.
The two artist’s interventions are displayed through projection, monitors, notebooks, interviews, sound and video recordings, scripts, relevant and found objects, pictures, collages. All of this creates a drawing, an inside-out project bigger than the sum of its parts, generating ideas, suggestions, critical debate and inevitably, contradictions. The exhibition showcases the process of idea-building and reflection. It is a kind of map, a diagram made of fragments and notes. It underlines spaces left vacant, which allows for the stratification of non-filtered elements and further development.
