The Voyage Out

Group Show – The Voyage Out

Milan, October 2024 – A.MORE gallery presents from 9 October to 9 November 2024, the group exhibition “The Voyage Out” with works by Marco Bacoli, Margaux Bricler, Alessandra Cecchini and Vittorio Valiante, curated by Domenico de Chirico.

Born with the aim first of exploring the human mind and then outlining research on the experience of subjectivity, the collective exhibition in question borrows its title from Virginia Woolf’s first novel – “The Cruise”. Metaphorically speaking, a tumultuous journey on the open sea that pushes us to face complex topics such as the complexity of human psychology, the flow of consciousness, growth and the consequent discovery of ourselves and others, love, aspirations, desires, vulnerability of life and criticism of society. The exhibition pays particular attention to the current female condition, which oscillates between the essential desire for independence and the more current misoneist education than ever.

The works of the four artists dialogue with each other, revealing a mix of internal conflicts whose emotional and mental states seem to be particularly sensitive.

“The concept of elsewhere, both refuge and trap, is inextricably linked both to the inevitable subjective experience and to the necessary psychological reconnaissance – states the curator Domenico de Chirico -. And so it is that among stiffened fragments of human bodies, relics of centaurs, nudity, unusual transparencies, routine psychoses, graceful suspensions and fleeting or even erased faces, the heterogeneous collective exhibition “The Voyage Out” is born and shaped, at the hands of Marco Bacoli, Margaux Bricler, Alessandra Cecchini and Vittorio Valiante”.
