The exhibition presents a curated selection of pieces\u2014both photographs and paintings\u2014drawn from various projects by the two artists.<\/p>\n<p>Although Bettineschi and Yemchuk come from different generations and have distinct artistic backgrounds, they are united by a deeply feminist practice and a profoundly personal approach that infuses their work. Their practices explore themes of memory, identity, and the act of giving through a lens that is both intimate and reflective.<br \/>\nBettineschi\u2019s work is characterized by a process of reinterpretation and rewriting. Her practice involves a continuous dialogue with her images\u2014photographs that are printed, altered through material interventions such as the addition of pearls or fabrics, and then re-photographed. This layered process creates complex works that embody her ongoing reflections and lived experiences, offering a textured visual narrative that is as much about the act of creation as about the final image.<\/p>\n<p>Yelena Yemchuk\u2019s oeuvre presents a portrayal of female figures that deliberately distances itself from contemporary stereotypes. Her subjects are complex, imperfect yet captivating women\u2014figures that command attention and challenge superficial representations. Yemchuk\u2019s images evoke a sense of depth and authenticity, inviting viewers to engage with the nuanced realities of her subjects.<\/p>\n<p>The title, <em>Il paradosso di tenere mentre si d\u00e0<\/em>, references the subtitle of an anthropological book by Annette B. Weiner, which discusses indigenous objects capable of retaining the spiritual essence of their givers. In this context, the exhibition becomes a journey into the personal and collective imaginaries of the artists, where their experiences and memories are offered as gifts to the viewer. It opens a space for contemplating contemporary art as a form of intangible giving\u2014an act of sharing the very essence of the artist\u2019s inner world.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mariella Bettineschi<\/em>\u00a0was born in Brescia in 1948. She graduated from the Giacomo Carrara Academy of Fine Arts in Bergamo in 1970. Her work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions in public and private spaces, including\u00a0<em>L\u2019era successiva e altri racconti<\/em> at z2o Sara Zanin Gallery (2023), <em>Notturno Pi\u00f9<\/em>\u00a0at the Venice Biennale (2019), and\u00a0<em>Da Duchamp a Cattelan: Arte Contemporanea al Palatino<\/em>\u00a0in Rome (2017).<\/p>\n<p><em>Yelena Yemchuk<\/em>\u00a0lives and works in New York. Born in Kyiv (Ukraine) in 1970, she moved to the United States at age eleven. She studied Visual Arts at Parsons School of Design and later Photography at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Yemchuk has collaborated as a fashion photographer with publications such as Vogue, Dazed &amp; Confused, AnOther, Num\u00e9ro, TAR Magazine, and The New Yorker. Her exhibitions include\u00a0<em>Gidropark<\/em>\u00a0at Gitterman Gallery, New York (2011);\u00a0<em>Ten Years After<\/em>\u00a0at the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, Turin (2006);\u00a0<em>Sensitive<\/em>\u00a0at the Dactu Foundation, New York (2004); and\u00a0<em>No Vacancy<\/em>\u00a0at Eastwick Gallery, Chicago (2001).<\/p>\n<p>Press kit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1D6QZsNzIAB28uYIlc_c1aVooTHfYwcYx?usp=sharing\">link\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Il paradosso di tenere mentre si d\u00e0<\/em><br \/>\nFrom May 16 to September 17, 2023<br \/>\nMetronom, Via carteria 10, 41121, Modena<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Il paradosso di tenere mentre si d\u00e0 is a dual solo exhibition featuring the works of artists Mariella Bettineschi and Yelena Yemchuk.
