BONE BY JEWELED BONE / CEPHALON, Double solo exhibition by Karen Bermann and Jason Vigneri-Beane | Courtesy ITINERARTE Gallery, Venice
What Karen Bermann and Jason Vigneri-Beane, co-protagonists at the ITINERARTE Gallery of the exhibition entitled BONE BY JEWELED BONE / CEPHALON, have in common is an intimately similar relationship with the concepts of time, memory and transformation, although their respective artistic paths are clearly distinct. On the one hand, Karen Bermann's intimate narration, made of signs, matter and memory, has its roots in personal experience and the objectivity of the story, on the other, Jason Vigneri-Beane's visionary world, digital, conceptual and experimental, projects itself towards a possible future in which technology and nature mix in an unprecedented balance. The two American artists, both university professors in architecture, although expressing themselves through different languages that look in two diametrically opposed directions - towards the past Bermann and towards the future Vigneri-Beane - find themselves conducting an unexpected dialogue in which the time that was and the time that will come, human experience and artificial intelligence, roots and mutation merge to provide a broader and deeper reflection on the human condition.
