Artericambi is pleased to present Déladelmur an exhibition by Donata Lazzarini and Bruno Muzzolini. In this exhibition the human and intellectual partnership between the artists cross again to claim, with a common emotional tension, an expressive and civil freedom in harmony with nature, today compromised by toxicity of our lifestyles.
The exhibition includes video installations, sculptures, photographs and drawings.
Maria Rosa Sossai writes: “Despite the diversity of their respective artistic practices, their harmony of intent guided them in the choice of the works to be exhibited, with which to build a horizontal and sustainable relationship with other living species through the language of art, without however pretending to understand everything but rather trying to imagine a loyal relationship between living beings and the natural world. The study of nature through the language of art has always represented a great challenge, especially today when the alarm for the survival of the planet coexists with an enveloping sense of daze in the face of its beauty and intensity. The two artists are well aware that the relationship with nature is an invention that has existed since mankind first appeared on earth. However, art is a language that is still able to recreate worlds and to enter into relationships with other living species. The pandemic has taught us how important it is to cultivate and include the unpredictable in our speculative horizon because it helps safeguard freedom of thought and cultivate abstention as a sustainable life practice”.
The exhibition is accompanied by a text by Maria Rosa Sossai who, together with the artists, will meet the public during a talk in the gallery on Monday 8 November2021 at 6.00 pm.

The artistic and didactic activities are interconnected: she teaches Sculpture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and is co-founder of the ‘out-of-register notebook of pedagogy and contemporary art’, Boîte Editions.
