A relationship between past and present through sculptures that challenge conventions and transform classical architecture into a contemporary reflection on human consciousness<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Carpenters Workshop Gallery and the Vincenzo De Cotiis Gallery present the exhibition Archaeology of Consciousness<\/strong>, continuing the body of work previously showcased in London. The exhibition, held at Via Privata Fratelli Gabba 1A in Milan, explores the theme of consciousness through a contemporary reimagining of classical architectural forms, with a particular focus on arches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arches, a recurring symbol in De Cotiis’ work, are fundamental elements of historical architecture. The artist, through a process of deconstruction and reinterpretation, challenges the ancient connotations associated with these structures<\/strong>, offering new perspectives on a millennia-old theme. The sculptures, made from rare materials such as marble, Murano glass, and recycled fibreglass, emerge from a process of reclamation, transforming these iconic forms into timeless entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this exhibition, De Cotiis presents a series of contemporary sculptures inspired by ancient arches, creating works that not only celebrate strength and triumph but also wear and decay. <\/strong>These “archaeological relics of the future” evoke a dialogue between past and future, suggesting a vision where nature has modified and reinterpreted human creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The works from the Baroquisme series, displayed alongside these new sculptures, reinforce the idea of modern ruins\u2014artifacts that bear witness to the passage of time and the beauty found in ageing and transformation. The exhibition, with its wide range of works, blurs the boundaries between art, architecture, and design. De Cotiis’ sculptures, with their combination of materials such as rare stone and Murano glass, evoke the natural process of metamorphic rock formation, blending natural forces with human interventions. This nature-like approach culminates in works that reflect an intrinsic beauty in decay and wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key element of the exhibition is the freestanding arch, which serves not only as a spatial threshold but also as a temporal one. De Cotiis deliberately distorts the form of the arch, inviting visitors to reflect on time and its effects on objects. “By focusing on arches, a clear symbol of strength and protection, I wanted to show that even the most solid structures change over time. The sculptures, made from materials such as rare, ancient stone, recycled fibreglass, and Murano glass, symbolise a vision of future archaeology, where the marks of nature and human interventions intertwine,<\/em>” explains the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title Archaeology of Consciousness suggests a deep reflection on both tangible and intangible environments, engaging visitors on a sensory and intellectual level. <\/strong>The “consciousness” evoked by the title reflects De Cotiis’ journey through history, rediscovering and projecting classical elements into modern concepts. The artist employs his interdisciplinary approach to merge sculpture, architecture, and functional art, creating spaces that are not only functional but become immersive sensory experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this exhibition, De Cotiis demonstrates his mastery in subverting expectations, challenging traditional meanings, and distorting familiar forms to explore the resilience and fragility of structures over time.<\/strong> The sculptures, with their deliberate and marked surfaces, leave traces that serve as a creative narrative, contributing to a broader story of time, decay, and transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carpenters Workshop Gallery e la Vincenzo De Cotiis Gallery presentano la mostra Archaeology of Consciousness<\/strong>, che prosegue il percorso espositivo gi\u00e0 avviato a Londra. <\/strong>L'esposizione, allestita presso Via Privata Fratelli Gabba 1A a Milano, esplora il tema della coscienza attraverso la rilettura contemporanea di forme architettoniche classiche, con un particolare focus sugli archi.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gli archi, simbolo ricorrente nel lavoro di De Cotiis, rappresentano un elemento fondamentale dell'architettura storica. L'artista, attraverso un processo di decostruzione e reinterpretazione, sfida le antiche connotazioni associate a queste strutture, aprendo nuove prospettive su un tema millenario<\/strong>. Le sculture, realizzate con materiali rari come marmo, vetro di Murano e fibra di vetro riciclata, emergono da un processo di reclamation, trasformando queste forme iconiche in entit\u00e0 senza tempo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In questa mostra, De Cotiis presenta una serie di sculture contemporanee ispirate agli antichi archi, creando opere che non solo celebrano la forza e il trionfo ma anche l'usura e la decadenza. <\/strong>Questi \"reperti archeologici del futuro\" evocano un dialogo tra passato e futuro, suggerendo una visione in cui la natura ha modificato e reinterpretato le creazioni umane.
Le opere della serie Baroquisme<\/em>, esposte insieme a queste nuove sculture, rafforzano l'idea di rovine moderne, artefatti che testimoniano il passaggio del tempo e la bellezza che si trova nell'invecchiamento e nella trasformazione.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La mostra, con la sua vasta gamma di opere, sfuma i confini tra arte, architettura e design. Le sculture di De Cotiis, con la loro combinazione di materiali come pietra rara e vetro di Murano, evocano il processo naturale di formazione delle rocce metamorfiche, unendo forze naturali e interventi umani. Questo approccio simile a quello della natura culmina in opere che riflettono una bellezza intrinseca nel decadimento e nell'usura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Un elemento chiave della mostra \u00e8 l'arco autoportante, che funge non solo da passaggio spaziale ma anche temporale. De Cotiis distorce deliberatamente la forma dell'arco, invitando i visitatori a riflettere sul tempo e sugli effetti che esso ha sugli oggetti. \"Concentrandomi sugli archi, simbolo chiaro di forza e protezione, volevo mostrare che anche le strutture pi\u00f9 solide cambiano col tempo. Le sculture, realizzate con materiali come pietra antica rara, fibra di vetro riciclata e vetro di Murano, simboleggiano una visione dell'archeologia futura, dove i segni della natura e degli interventi umani si intrecciano,<\/em>\" spiega l'artista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il titolo Archaeology of Consciousness suggerisce una riflessione profonda sugli ambienti tangibili e intangibili, coinvolgendo i visitatori su un piano sensoriale e intellettuale.<\/strong> La \"coscienza\" evocata dal titolo riflette il viaggio di De Cotiis attraverso la storia, riscoprendo e proiettando elementi classici in concetti moderni. L'artista utilizza il proprio approccio interdisciplinare per fondere scultura, architettura e arte funzionale, creando spazi che non sono solo funzionali ma diventano esperienze sensoriali immersive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In questa esposizione, De Cotiis dimostra la sua maestria nel sovvertire le aspettative, sfidando i significati tradizionali e distorcendo forme familiari per esplorare la resilienza e la fragilit\u00e0 delle strutture nel tempo.<\/strong> Le sculture, con le loro superfici deliberate e segnate, lasciano tracce che fungono da narrazione creativa, contribuendo a un racconto pi\u00f9 ampio di tempo, decadimento e trasformazione.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archaeology of Consciousness di Vincenzo De Cotiis \u00e8 una mostra che invita a riflettere sulla bellezza duratura nel tempo, oltre che sull'interazione tra passato e presente. <\/strong>La mostra, con la sua combinazione unica di materiali e forme, offre ai visitatori un'esperienza estetica e intellettuale profonda, trasformando il concetto di architettura e scultura in un viaggio attraverso l'archeologia della coscienza.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"vincenzo-de-cotiis-archaeology-of-consciousness","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"Vincenzo De Cotiis: Archaeology of Consciousness","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
