After his participation in the collective project “Il Peso della Mia Luce” (“The Weight of My Light”), with which the gallery has opened its exhibitory activity, the artist presents himself to the public in a solo-show entitled “Entrano Fuggendo” (“They Enter Escaping”).

The title, taken from some notes in the edges of Shakespearean comedies, refers to the concept of gaze - already object of Mirabella’s research - conceived as a continuous flow, interrupted by the passage of things that come, manifest themselves and then escape from the visual field. The works on show focus on a closer vision of reality, capturing the essence of the interruptions that cross our gaze, before things flee and overlap in the blurred horizon of interpretation.

The exhibition is divided into three distinct moments, corresponding to three different work cycles of the artist’s recent research. In the installation “Tutto Aperto, Tutto Chiuso” (“All Open, Everything Closed”) a continuous fall of dust will highlight the presence of some objects on the floor, redefining their traits meanwhile marking their own architectural structure. The installation will be presented with a series of lattice works consisting of long multicoloured cloths handworked by the artist: pictorially charactered artefacts which, when bent, assume a plastic form. Finally downstairs, specifically designed for the gallery’s space, a sculptural work with a strong architectural stamp will inhabit the passage between the first and the second room, forcing the visitors to move around the work that
will never be entirely accessible.

Diego Miguel Mirabella (Enna, 1988) lives and works in Rome. In 2013 he was invited to the Macro Testaccio for the collective project “Ortica - Organic Theme in Contemporary Art”: in the same year the double personal exhibition “Presupposti per un Dialogo Inesatto” (“Assumptions for an Incorrect Dialogue”) with Mauro Vitturini took place at Palazzo Lucarini in Trevi ( PG), curated by Daniela Cotimbo . In 2012 he took part to “In Ognuno di Noi” (“In Each of Us”), exhibited by Barbara Martusciello at the Temple University in Rome and participated in “Casa con Vista” (“House Overlooking”).
