Madrigal: four voices together

Madrigal is a show without a theme, it is an exhibition project in which the works of four Italian artists all born in the 1990s coexist.
In this text, geographic belonging will not be assumed as a possible common element, any question about a presumed shared poetic will be suspended, to speak instead of the singularities of each artist and to enhance their differences.
For each artist a voice was imagined, a description of vocal performance that could somehow resonate with their work by looking to the madrigal, the polyphonic choir that emerged in Italy in the 1300s that found its greatest diffusion throughout Europe during the sixteenth century. The voice will open a short text that links my experience and some questions about the present to an analysis of each work. As the exhibition seems to suggest, writing took shape following the personal conviction of how exciting it is to be guided within a thematic framework by the works and not the other way around, leaving them the freedom to suggest new paths for reflection.
