We are pleased to invite you on THURSDAY, APRIL 9, from 6pm - 9pm, to the opening of “Un secreto se apaga entre mis manos”, Amparo Viau’s (Argentina, 1991) first European solo exhibition with a critical text by Benedetta Casini.
For her first European presentation, Viau conceives a large-scale installation, an immersive path in which a single drawing, approximately forty meters long and made with chalk pastels on paper, unfolds through the space, transforming drawing into a physical, visual, and temporal experience. The image ceases to function as an isolated element and instead becomes an environment, a passage, and a gesture.
At the center of Viau’s research lies the human figure. Intertwined bodies, overlapping scenes, and narrative fragments construct a layered visual texture in which drawing enters into dialogue with performative languages such as contemporary dance, theater, and cinema. The images appear like suspended choreographies or theatrical still frames crystallized on paper.
We look forward to welcoming you all on THURSDAY 9 APRIL and celebrate together this beautiful exhibition! Food and drinks will be supplied by the gallery ❤️❤️
