EXPRIMO, curated by Chiara Nicolini, presents a selection of works by eight artists who range from photography to video, and from installations to sculpture. Maria Adele Del Vecchio, Giorgia Errera, Teresa Gargiulo, Goldschmied & Chiari, Micaela Lattanzio, Numero Cromatico, Santiago Sierra, and Catalina Swinburn start from the word itself, and through the process of linguistic deconstruction lead to a conceptual reflection, reconfigured in an artistic form. Each work aims to express a concept that immerses the observer in a disorienting dimension, challenging conventional modes of expression. 
 
The works construct languages that are sometimes more explicit and other times more transversely related to the word itself. The exhibition guides us through a series of works that differ in genre and material, inviting us to pause and reflect in order to connect with what the eight artists seek to express.

Teresa Gargiulo’s (Vico Equense, 1996) research considers language and its evocative power as starting points for investigating the world around her. Every element is questioned, analyzed, and decontextualized in order to reach a different point of view, as seen in How to Train My Ear. The starting point is the search for experimental phonemes—never-before-emitted and consequently never-before-used sound particles—to create musical compositions. How to draw an Island -Ruenmp is a fictional island based on language.
