Tensione Continua
Galleria Continua is pleased to welcome in its spaces of the former cinema-theatre of San Gimignano, Tensione Continua, an exhibition curated by Carlo Falciani. Through the selection of a large number of works capable of a strong dialectic with the twentieth century and with the past, the curator develops a reflection on the theme of tension, studying it from different points of view: tension as a flow of energy, as a reaction of a body to an external force, as a state of excitement, but also as the perception of a social contrast and as the result of an intense intellectual engagement. Falciani groups the works according to different conditions and around these he thinks of equivalent sections in which the works enter into a dialogue with each other in precise spaces of the gallery, chosen for their functionality and type of tension.
