Giuseppe Gabellone Solo Exhibition "The Unique Form in Continuous Time"

"The Unique Form in Continuous Time" Sculptural installation, a statue resembling an old man? What do you think? 2008. Giuseppe Gabellone's solo exhibition "The Unique Form in Continuous Time" is on display at Emmanuel Perrotin from January 17 to March 7. Born in 1973, Giuseppe Gabellone has participated in the Lyon Biennale, Venice Biennale, Documenta Kassel, and Sydney Biennale, and is one of Italy's most representative contemporary artists.

Gabellone's work is built upon metamorphic time: what forms objects take as time flows, and what remains unchanged amidst transformation. All material forms evolve with time; amid all flux, what constitutes artistic truth? In his Paris debut "The Unique Form in Continuous Time," he presents two extraordinary sculptural objects that are both traditional and modern in their postmodern signs. Two object-installations resembling human figures are mounted on geometric aluminum frames, presenting elusive images—can they only be likened to figures in motion or flowing time? Who says they are figures? No one dares to be certain. These highly ambiguous images draw viewers into a hallucination of the real world, akin to the sudden sensation of a carpet being pulled out from under one's feet—so extraordinary, so alternative.

Art critic Francesco Bonami describes this as "unknown originality," creating an unusual distance experience and extraordinary imagination between science fiction and reality.
