Glimpses – We are what we see
Groundbreaking art agency Glimpses of Art announces inaugural exhibition in London 'Glimpses – We are what we see'.
Featuring renowned artists including Michaela Stark, Floria Sigismondi, Sandro Kopp and Apollonia Saintclair.
The exhibition will take place in Shoreditch, 347 Old Street, London from 11-17 October.
The mixed media exhibition 'Glimpses - We are what we see' will bring together 30 international artists and their unique art practice, whose work ranges from photography, painting, drawing and sculpture to digital art.
The joint curators Auronda Scalera (IKT Member) and Lidia Ravviso, in collaboration with the designer Andres Ros Roto, have created an inaugural show wherein design, lighting, A/V interactions, and the exhibition's narrative concur to deliver an emotional and sensory experience.
The gallery will showcase more than 90 artworks, split into four areas as steps of the curational journey, and reflected in different design layouts, soundscapes and materials.
Kimatica - a vanguardist studio working on interactive technology and the human body - will propose an unusual Plato's cave where the viewer will have the opportunity to be part of their mesmerising installation.
Through the unapologetic artists' gazes that Glimpses brings together, we will be invited to reflect on how Art can offer us a transformative reflection on ourselves - we are what we see - towards a fluid conception of body, intimacy and identity and celebrate freedom of expression - we see what we are.
About Glimpses of Art
A group of diverse curators founded the art agency Glimpses of Art with a radical aim to create autonomous representation for artists, giving contemporary Art the platform to show viewers an expansive window into society.
With a nomadic approach, Glimpses creates unique pop-up exhibitions curated through the lens of 'immersive transience' throughout Europe and the UK, interrogating identity and conventionality.
Glimpses is also an online platform and will be a gallery in the Metaverse. The e-commerce will be launched right after the exhibition to offer the opportunity of buying the artworks showcased in London.
The curatorial team is led by Auronda Scalera, an established art advisor who has worked for Venice Biennale, Paris Photo, Tate and Sotheby's, with a longstanding experience directing and supporting galleries and private art collections. She directs the Infinity Art Museum.
The artistic direction is led by Lidia Ravviso, a film director, writer and director of Uncensored Festival. Her film practice has been addressed in publications, talks and academic panels. As a curator, she's passionate about creating a space where artists can express themselves without censorship.
Joint curators Lidia Ravviso and Auronda Scalera said: "It is incredibly exciting to finally announce our upcoming London exhibition and the debut of the Glimpses model. We have curated an impressive collection of artworks and are thrilled to showcase the many talented artists who have taken part in questioning convention and censorship. We hope the exhibition will stimulate and challenge visitors and help give them a new perspective on what identity means to them."
