Galleria Fumagalli presents the eighth and final installment of the exhibition series MY30YEARS – Coherency in Diversity.
Conceived by art historian Lóránd Hegyi for Galleria Fumagalli, the exhibition program pays homage to the thirty-year career of gallery owner Annamaria Maggi. Through the joint exhibition of the works of three artists followed or represented by the gallery, each exhibition invites the viewer to overcome traditional categorizations, to reread the works of established masters, to offer new dialogues and to reveal some hidden parallels between research and artistic orientations of different generations.
Spaces as Places as Stages intends to revisit the challenges and aesthetic perspectives materialized in the oeuvre of Enrico Castellani (Castelmassa, 1930 – Celleno 2017) and Jannis Kounellis (Piraeus, Greece, 1936 – Rome, 2017) in the context of re-defining space as a stage of happenings, as a place of imaginary actions, movements and changes.
This encounter is enriched by two works by Chiara Lecca (Modigliana, 1977), who interprets the transformation of space into a place of appearance of emotional and imaginary subjects, emphasizing certain dramatic and surrealistic expressions.

The surprising narrative richness and multi-layered complexity of Chiara Lecca’s oeuvre meet the formal purity and silent rigor of the sculptural status of the work of the two masters Enrico Castellani and Jannis Kounellis, who were protagonists of a radical rethinking of the artistic strategies in the early Sixties, and of the redefinition of the relationship between space and time, between material and immaterial realities, emotional and ideal spheres.
While Enrico Castellani intensifies the inner tension between sculptural realities and optical effects, expanding the latent dynamism of the visual structure in order to direct the imagination towards a virtual space that functions as a real place, Jannis Kounellis creates an extreme concentration of explosive, dramatic and cathartic energies, providing a stage-like place for confrontations and imaginary events of encounters and fights. In her personal stage, Chiara Lecca expands the ambivalent and unidentifiable character of her forms which come to life in the fields of fantasy, improbability and indefinability.

By confronting the works of the three artists in a form of provocative and liberating dialogue, new areas of critical rethinking of the historically established categories of art get their chance for free development. The questioning of the categorizations of the “Great Masters” such as Enrico Castellani and Jannis Kounellis opens the way of a creative and subversive revisiting of the art examples of the Sixties, Seventies, Eighties and, at the same time, reveals new possible parallels and unintentional exchanges between different intellectual approaches towards the world.

  • Ich war schon immer ein Gelegenheitsspieler in online-Casinos und habe
    nie wirklich viel erwartet, außer ein bisschen Spaß zum
    Entspannen. Wie bei allen online-Plattformen raten wir den Spielern jedoch, Vorsicht
    walten zu lassen, persönliche Nachforschungen anzustellen und immer verantwortungsvoll zu
    spielen. Die Plattform bietet eine großzügige Auswahl an klassischen Tisch- und Kartenspielen, darunter zeitlose
    Favoriten wie Blackjack, Roulette, Poker und Baccarat.
    Diese Aktionen bieten Ihnen zusätzliche Chancen, im Hit’n’Spin Casino
    zu spielen und zu gewinnen. Nutzen Sie am besten gleich Ihren Willkommensbonus,
    der Ihnen über die ersten drei Einzahlungen gutgeschrieben wird
    und zusätzlich noch eine geballte Ladung an Freispielen beinhaltet.

    Denn wer mag, kann um Echtgeld spielen und somit richtige Gewinne erzielen. Die Teilnahme erfolgt automatisch,
    sobald Sie mit Echtgeld spielen. Ein echter Anreiz weiterzuspielen und
    die Vorteile der VIP-Stufen voll auszuschöpfen! Bedingungen, die übrigens auch dann gelten, wenn Sie im Hit’n’Spin Casino 25 Euro als Neukundenbonus erhalten. Das bedeutet, dass eventuelle Gewinne
    aus den Freispielen dreimal umgesetzt werden müssen,
    bevor Sie diese abheben können. Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie erhalten im Hit`n`Spin Casino 50 Freispiele ohne
    Einzahlung für das beliebte Spiel “Big Bass Splash” von Pragmatic Play, und das völlig kostenlos!

    Was wäre ein Online Casino ohne einen verlockenden, üppigen Willkommensbonus?
    Zwar gibt es genau das – über 1.500 Spiele,
    mit denen man sich nicht nur die Zeit versüßen kann, sondern mit denen man, wenn man möchte, vor allem auch sehr viel gewinnen kann.

    Und wir wollten immer mehr als „nur“ viele sehr gute
    und spannende Casinospiele anbieten. Das betrifft
    keineswegs nur die Casinoboni, über die wir hier ausführlich schreiben werden, sondern das
    gesamte Angebot. Glücksspiele um echtes Geld werden durch uns nicht angeboten. Die Vertrauenswürdigkeit einer
    Casinoplattform ist von entscheidender Bedeutung.

  • Once live, customers with a full Sky Sports
    subscription won’t need to do a thing; Sky Sports+
    will simply drop into the existing Sky experience, across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky
    Q, and NOW. On average, new discussions are replied to
    by our users within 50 minutes Browse or search to find help, or start a new discussion on Community.

    Other satellite providers in Europe have removed HD channels entirely from their
    EPGs to encorage people to go to streaming devices.
    But having inclusive HD is an incentive for users to move
    from satellite to streaming, which is what Comcast
    wants them to do. I certainly do feel more cozy at
    home with the Christmas music/movie channels on in the background, especially while bringing down the Christmas
    tree…… For us, these films offer a good sense
    of feel good, escapism, Christmas decoration loveliness,
    all with a touch of corny and comedic scripts at times,
    putting a welcome smile on our faces. It’s so sad to see the remaining (of what was) Sky Sports Active interactive channels
    closing.
    When available, the estimated number of results that was previously found under
    webPages.totalEstimatedMatches will be available under
    search_information.total_results in our API.
    While the previous steps have all been quite straightforward, the changes to the response format handling will likely be the most involved for you
    depending on how much of the data you have been using.
    The official API’s response format differs from our own so
    there are still changes to make, but we’re part
    way there. If your implementation is relatively simple and only uses the q and
    mkt parameters, then when you make these changes, you should see a full
    response come back from our endpoint at this stage.
