Robert Janitz (@robert_janitz) solo exhibition 'Carmina Burrata' is currently on view at the 17th-century deconsecrated church at San Carlo Cremona (@sancarlocremona), Italy until January 10, 2023. The show is in collaboration with Apalazzo Gallery (@apalazzogallery) and Form the Creative Group (@form_thecreativegroup).
"Robert Janitz grounds his installation on a question that he keeps asking himself: what is the standard exhibition space called the “white cube” and what does it do to its content? Is it a neutral space? A commercial space? Or can it also be a sacred space?... 'If one can postulate that a wall has two sides, one must assume a painting only has one' affirms Robert Janitz. The nave of the church is traversed diagonally by a wall, separating the volume in two sides. The arches of the temporary wall mirror the architecture of the church and remind of a railroad bridge or an aqueduct. One side has six black and white paintings and the other side houses six full of colors paintings. One can navigate back and forth, walk and weave from one side to the other. Janitz leaves it open to viewers if they can “read” the paintings, or maybe can not. The artist’s intervention in the space operates as a device to structure the passing of time and images and the meanings attached to it creating a reference to 'The Art of Memory' by Frances Yates."
