Reasonable doubts, the title of the exhibition which renews the usual collaboration between the MAN Museum and the Isola delle Storie also in 2010, presents the work of three young artists from the Italian contemporary scene, Cristian Chironi, Paolo Meoni and Rachele Sotgiu, who will measure themselves with the space of Casa Lai through three distinct stories that explore the present with the irony, lucidity and intimacy that characterizes their personal research. The reflection, which occurs through the use of the languages ​​of photography, performance, video and installation, opens up a series of questions and doubts, starting from their specific sensations and cultural roots, which lead to the possibility of a different vision of the world that can, and perhaps should be, even as I imagine it.
Cristian Chironi
Cristian Chironi was born in Nuoro in 1974. Visual artist and performer active since 1998, he lives and works between the Province of Nuoro and Bologna. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. He is interested in different languages, including performance, photography, video, drawing, public art and site-specific operations, seeking an integration of genres. His research aims to relate a plurality of concepts, such as reality and fiction, memory and contemporaneity, figure and image, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, conflict and integration.
Paolo Meoni
Paolo Meoni was born in Prato in 1967, where he lives and works. His research arises from frequenting the space of everyday life, but his vision overturns the ordinary, seeking internal novelty through the continuous deconstruction of the same space taken at different times. There are different perspectives that open up in his works, stratified like the different levels of a photomontage.
Rachele Sotgiu
Rachele Sotgiu was born in 1984 in Nuoro, where she lives and works. Rachele is a young artist who, using different languages, moves with ease from photography to video, from drawing to installation, analyzing everyday objects and gestures with refined refinement.
In 2008 he presented a personal exhibition, curated by MAN, at the Peppetto Pau museum in Nurachi entitled “The contravened limit” on the occasion of the exhibition Clandestine (Dromos 2009).
