Luigi Auriemma DIO_GENE

218 x 79 x 31 x 87 cm. Ca.

DIO_GENE was created in 2016 for the solo exhibition entitled D_I_O_GENE at MANN - Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli. The work was later exhibited in the exhibition project Per_formare una collezione. Per un archivio dell’arte in Campania (Per_forming a collection. For an archive of the arts in the Region Campania) curated by Andrea Viliani and Silvia Salvati at museo Madre in 2018. The work is composed by a structure made of glass, mirror and iron, on whose transparent plates appear, superimposed and upside down, words taken from the fragmentary Canon of Polykleitos: ‘Beauty consists in the proportions, not of the elements, but of the parts’ and ‘The result depends on a decisive smallness in the midst of the ratios of proportion’. The title refers to philosophical studies and alludes to the holy lord and creator.
