Exhibition: Matteo Negri – Meanwhile
Exhibition view. Matteo Negri – Meanwhile

Many of you know what Meanwhile is about. Many were themselves at Aa Collections, in front of the works, seeing them inhaling and exhaling images, occurrences, movements, talks in front of them. (…)

The exhibition space of Aa Collections has taken to a certain degree, a new look. Still, is it not always like this that spaces transform, that different artists and works vest memorable transience?

The latter we have been documenting, because we believe in digitalizing exhibitions – in the end this is also a role of a magazine to build an archive of occurrences. Exhibitions are for us, something that happens now, while exhibition documentation and digitalization of shows serve to immortality; therefore we will like to share these exhibition views with you.

On October 15th Negri’s practice will also be the subject of a panel talk. Be sure to mark your calendar! Saturday, October 15, 6 pm, Aa Collections. In Conversation: Nives Widauer (artist), Matteo Negri (artist) & Erka Shalari (editor at LNR).

Get to know the panelists:

Nives Widauer, born 1965 in Basel, Switzerland, lives in Vienna. In 1990 she graduated from the Class for Audiovisual Arts at Schule für Gestaltung Basel. Parallel to the first exhibitions (video installations) she created live video sets for various theatre and opera houses and independent semi-documentary movies. Various Art Awards, scholarships and exhibitions followed. Over the last twenty-five years Nives Widauer’s Cosmos grew in somehow concentric circles up to her recent work, where she plays with the interface between analogue and digital. In the last couple of years Widauer expanded her medias to painting and sculpture – www.widauer.net

Matteo Negri (b.1982, San Donato Milanese) lives and works in Milan. He has been analysing the perceptual role of the surface, colour, geometric aspects, chromatic variability and reflection since the beginning of his artistic career, which he employs as means of alienation for changing ordinary perceptions of volumes and planes. The media he employs span from sculpture and installation to geometric- abstract painting.
