‘Resti sensibili’ (Sensitive remains) is the summer group show at THEPÒSITO Art Space, the exhibition brings together the works of Laura Santamaria, Meri Tancredi, Sasha Toli and Chiara Ventura.
Each body leaves a trace. Not always visible, not always voluntary, but present. In what it touches, in what it crosses, in what remains. It is in this perceptive threshold, between contact and memory, between gesture and disappearance, that the exhibition moves. In the work of the artists on show the body withdraws from representation to manifest itself through its consequences: traces, signs, prints, absences which do not return the body as a form, but as a material memory, as a settled gesture, as a surface crossed by time.

Artists
(b. 1976, Monza - Italy)
She lives and works between Como and Milan; graduated from Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and later specialized from the Loughborough University School of Art and Design. Her artistic research is focused on the use of pure matter, fire, pigments or crystals, to which she approaches with method, starting from a thorough study at a cognitive level and further following an individual artistic process, always highly experimental. Her site-specific projects and sculptures often present the viewer a parallelism between the micro and macro cosmos, thus reflecting on systems and processes of interconnectivity.
(b. 1976, L’Aquila - Italy)
She lives and works in Perugia. Her research focuses on the relationship between language, space, matter and perception. Questioning her own unconscious universe to relate it with a collective Time and coagulating her own reflections into semantic traces, sometimes precise and rigorous, other times labile and twisted anthropological and anthropic metaphors.
(b. 2000, Narni - Italy)
He lives and works in Otricoli, Italy. Studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino he’s fascinated by the way in which the pictorial morphology manages to assume a “hierofanic” function, a revealing function. The artwork, sometimes considered in contemporary times as numinous ‘object’, is animated by a free creative activity, this allows the influences of the artist to converge in the tragicomic tension, necessary for the work to be solved.
She lives and works between Verona and Venezia. Her work is genuinely existential, where biography becomes a feature. Her paintings, always on the edge between figuration and abstraction, embody the macro-themes present in her sculptural, conceptual, and performative works. The analysis of the body, and the relationships and reactions it has with the psyche, emotionality, and the Other, has been the starting point for the development of a practice, predominantly performative, in which the uncomfortable and unprotected point, for the doer and the viewer, is the focus of attention. Ventura investigates denounces the most devious aspects of contemporary forms of violence and is interested in the political aspects of human behaviour. In 2020, she co-founded plurale, a concept that takes shape in collective art-making, a dynamic where the individual artist merges into a common perspective, a Zen practice of ego decentering.
