SUBURBIA CONTEMPORARY

SUBURBIA CONTEMPORARY mission is to inspire and challenge visitors to explore the world of innovative creations from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Our commitment to innovation is reflected in the artists we showcase, who push the boundaries of traditional art forms with their unique and different perspectives. We strive to maintain a balanced selection of art that represents a wide range of styles and mediums, from painting to sculpture and performance.

Our international collection of art is a testament to the global reach of creativity and its power to connect people across borders. We have carefully curated works from established and emerging artists around the world, each with their own vision and voice. As we look to the future of art, we remain committed to showcasing the latest cutting-edge trends in the world of contemporary art. 

SUBURBIA CONTEMPORARY is a hub of innovation, where visitors can explore the latest trends in art and witness the evolution of the art form firsthand. We believe that art has the power to transcend language and cultural barriers, and our gallery provides a platform for artists to share their stories and experiences with a global audience.

'From, Maybe To' is a research project culminating in the creation of various sculptures, aimed at investigating the natural algorithm through which self-similar processes of construction and dissolution manifest themselves in our memory via modules and their evolution, starting from personal remembrances.

The work delves into the intersection of music, visual art, and architecture within a conceptual framework rooted in self referential proceduralism. Gianluca Iadema’s (Brescia, Italy, 1996) memories become the one of the sculpture. It reflects on itself, incorporating itself by identifying with itself when it encounters itself, transcending its own nature, because time arises from Memory. This process involves the present moment being a memory and then being regarded as a memory and reintegrated into the present moment. In this manner, the present moment exists both as itself in the present and as itself in the past, thereby creating a sense of passage.

These simple metal structures are conceived as filters, through which some excerpts of memory, represented in this particular work by piano components and other musical elements, are processed. Each structure engages in dialogue with a musical element, composed entirely on the piano using both standard and extended techniques. As a result, they are transformed into autonomous systems, almost like three-dimensional mnemonic projections. Simultaneously, each piece incorporates natural elements, specifically tree branches, to symbolize the fractal evolution of nature and our own development.
