Events/Openings

Galerie Rolando Anselmi is delighted to announce Firma Matar, the first solo show by Santiago Taccetti in the gallery space in Berlin. For this occasion, the artist will present a site-specific installation, which extends in both exhibition rooms and revolves around the idea of standardization and re-appropriation. Using materials reminiscent of the past, which like a familiar smell might conjure up a blurry memory of a collective unknown, the works dwell in that fuzzy space between fact and fiction. The pieces seem to revolve around a combination of instances or things you swore you had seen so many times before. Yet they are warped to the point where your momentary feeling of familiarity is lost contaminated by an increasing sense of uncertainty. Objects quickly lose their obvious function, becoming memory triggers in the attempt to mold something personal out of a massively produced culture. The title of the show works in the same way as the art in its deception, perhaps fooling the reader towards the specificity of a language, multiple ones, or none at all.
