SOLARIZATION ✨
⠀
One day, when Lee Miller was developing film in a dark room, a mouse ran across her leg. Frightened she turned on the light - and saw that a new effect appeared in the photos.
⠀
That day, Lee Miller accidentally rediscovered a technique of solarization, known since the 1840s, and shared her findings with Man Ray who at the time was her mentor, lover and friend. Solarization aka the Sabatier reaction produces a halolike outlines that enhance the light and dark shades of a photo.
⠀
While this technique is more commonly associated with Man Ray's work as a photographer, actually both him and Miller worked on it to find a way to control the process and to use it for aesthetic purposes. Some of the most recognizable works of Man Ray and Lee Miller are made with this technique, and you’ll be able to admire them at the exhibition at ACP - Palazzo Franchetti.

PINNA NOBILIS
⠀
by Giorgio Andreotta Calò
⠀
2017-2018, M series, ed.unique, white bronze
⠀
Made in bronze, the sculptures produced by Calò from 2014 onwards portray specimens of Pinna Nobilis in their actual size, the shells of the bivalve mollusc, the largest in the Mediterranean waters, threatened by many human activities. Next to the central body formed by the shell, the metal casting channels and the “embouchure” are integral parts of the sculpture, traces of the lost wax casting process and, at the same time, supporting elements of the work itself. In some cases the original shell is contained within the bronze, emphasising the coexistence of the natural and the anthropic element, the alchemical transmutation between them.
⠀
In 2017, Giorgio Andreotta Calò created a series of Pinna Nobilis in white bronze for the environmental installation Senza titolo (La fine del mondo) [Untitled (The end of the world)] exhibited at the Italian Pavilion during the 57th Venice Biennale.
⠀
The Pinna Nobilis series brings to light many themes that are recurrent in the artist’s practice: notably, his view of the landscape, in particular the Venice lagoon, from which Andreotta Calò extracts fragments and reworks them into objects that possess a strong, symbolic and evocative charge. The symmetric form of Pinna Nobilis also recalls the symbology of the double as a vehicle of investigation for the present, suspended between reality and virtual representation.
⠀
Visit the exhibition through 27.11.2022 at the Biblioteca Morandiana, ACP Palazzo Franchetti.
