A journey through the depths of time: A solo show by Rosa Barba in Milan

Rosa Barba returns to Giò Marconi gallery with a solo show featuring artworks made in the last two years, as well as her recent film Time as Perspective, a journey through a desolate and astounding land beaten by the perennial movement of monstrous excavators. Like in a digest, the main contents of her research are present: the objectification of time, the inverted relation between subject and object of representation, the analysis of language. In this show,  Rosa Barba’s archaic machines reveal mostly their sculptural-kinetic traits, bringing back suggestions from that Programmed avant-garde that was born right here in Milan.
