Pedro Wirz, Wiþ Ymbe

16. Februar – 17. März

We are proud to announce a solo show by the Swiss-Brazilian artist Pedro Wirz, whose work constitutes one of the most original contributions to sculpture in recent years. Installed at Stalletta, a 17th century, raw and archaic barn, the exhibition comprises of both earlier and recent work, in the form of cocoons and eggs, as well as light installations.

Venture on a journey into a reawakening world, full of surprises, revelations and mythological beings. Existing in their own ecosystems, these creatures germinate simultaneously, in both natural and artificial environments: whilst mutually influencing one another, they bond in a complex interrelationship and thus shift into a gradual equilibrium. It unveils that everything man-made decomposes and ultimately becomes a part of the natural environment, as every closed system eventually devours itself and starts to break apart.

Installed at Stalletta, a 17th century raw and arcaic barn, the exhibition comprises both earlier and recents works, in the form of cocoons and eggs, as well as light installations.
