Fault Lines : Allora & Calzadilla, Fondazione Trussardi opening exhibition text and photos Stefania Seoni

Dear Diane, Dear Shaded Viewers,

Fault Lines is the first  major exhibition in Italy by the american duo Allora & Calzadilla. The exhibition is located at the extraordinary space, Palazzo Cusani ,  in the heart of Milan and this is the first time that they are showing contemporary art.

The exhibtion brings together different elements and languages,  sculpture, photography, perfomance art and music. In recent work the American duo have examined the concept of  borders and dividing lines,  both  in the  physical and the symbolic way.

The limits and contradictions of our times: from nationalism to democracy,   power and  freedom,  social changes merge toghether to form powerful metaphors

Viewers encounter a succession of sounds, perfomances sculptures and images that interwine with the history of the site and the story of our times. The narrative brings surprise, poetry and unexpected humor.
