The Fondazione Pastificio Cerere presented the group exhibition APERTURE, the third appointment of “The Archive Project” curated by CAMPO, a project that aims to reflect and make people think about the value of architecture, using curatorial practice as a means of stimulating dialogue and producing knowledge. The exhibition opened last 31 January and will remain open to the public until Saturday 29th March 2025.
To celebrate its tenth year, CAMPO invites architects, artists, photographers and curators to focus on the idea of openness as an aesthetic, technical and conceptual device. The works, projects and interventions realised by the participants will be set up in the exhibition space of the Silos, which, without windows, will be transformed into a kind of interior façade.
The exhibition APERTURE proposes a reflection on the value of the gaze and the need to overcome limits in order to glimpse future scenarios.
In architecture, to open is a fundamental gesture: if to build is to delimit, separate and define the boundary between inside and outside, to open is to reveal, connect distinct worlds and challenge established orders.
Openings not only distinguish the threshold between inside and outside, public and private, familiar and unfamiliar, but they direct the gaze, organise flows and transform land into territory, creating an order that structures inhabited space. In this sense, openings not only define the physical and conceptual space in which we live, but also offer the possibility of exploring imaginary and future worlds.
