Mars is pleased to inaugurate the exhibition season with a solo show by Giovanni Kronenberg.
The exhibition presents sculptures, drawings and interventions, realized recently or in the past but never exhibited before. The works are familiar with the artist's entire production: peculiar, unusual and heteroclite objects - the artist defines them as "not consumed by looks" -.
Through changes or displacements, in some cases minimal in others more radical, Kronenberg intervenes on these objects with the aim to condition their ergonomics or statute, and is thus able to put into communication distant times which under no circumstances would be able to intertwine.
The artist works through a combinatorial grammar focused on the slow sedimentation of evocative qualities which the objects possess in and by themselves, and on the subsequent alteration of those same qualities through forms of intrusion. Giovanni Kronenberg was born in 1974 in Milan, where he still lives and works.
His work has been exhibited in private galleries, foundations and museums, including Renata Fabbri arte contemporanea, Milan (2017), Z2o Sara Zanin, Rome (2016), Studio Guenzani, Milan (2012, 2007, 2006), Galleria Fuoricampo, Bruxelles (2014), MAXXI, Rome (2007), MACRO, Rome (2012), Nomas Foundation, Rome (2012), Polish Cultural Institute, Rome (2015), Museum of Contemporary Art, Lugano (2009), Basilica Palladiana, Vicenza (2013), Foro Italico, Rome (2014), Fondazione Spinola Banna, Turin (2008), Fondazione Ratti, Como (2003), Fondazione Sandretto, Turin (2011), Arte all’arte/Galleria Continua, San Gimignano (2005) and Viafarini, Milan (2005 and 2004). Alessandro Rabottini, Simone Menegoi and Davide Ferri, among others, have written critical texts about his work.
