On the occasion of the 19th Contemporary Day of AMACI, SCD Textile&Art Studio promotes PÅ REJSE (IN TRAVEL) the guided tour of the studio of Elisabeth Tronhjem (Heldum, Denmark, 1956) at Palazzo Carocci Tiburzi – via Francesco Solidati Tiburzi, 22 – in Contigliano (RI), curated by Barbara Pavan.

The itinerary constitutes a journey into the research, poetics and experimentation of the Danish artist through her sculptures made in a variety of materials and techniques: from plaster to stone, from marble to bronze, from installation to the assemblage of elements of waste and upcycling.

Tronhjem possesses the rare talent of knowing how to extract from stone and marble the echo of nature and the voices of a plural humanity, a polyphony that she synthesizes in forms that combine the rigor of Nordic minimalist geometries with the softness of Mediterranean light. Everything that belongs to the artist's existential and relational perimeter enters her works: this is the case, for example, with her sedentary nomadism which allows her to absorb (and return) in the freedom of not belonging to a single place and to a single culture, the diversity of human experiences in a synthesis that is tension between individual and universal. Every human connection - with nature, with the surrounding environment, with the other - becomes a personal testimony and at the same time an element of a shared journey, an itinerary common to all living beings in which the perennial flow of the cycle of life has declined.

She herself defines her art as “(…) Alphabet of life. Nature and life. Reality and theatre, entities within which the projection of fantasy, the sublimations of the idea, the substance of perception, the determination of the concept, the idea-force of beauty, the categories and ferments of thought circulate. The tension towards the absolute.”

In her home-studio she has been working for some time recently on a new body of works in which she experiments with recycled and waste materials, following a layered narrative of memory, history and stories, which reflects the rooms that one after the other host the collection of her sculptures, her tools and work materials and her domestic daily life in a symbiosis that unfolds against the background of a past that this ancient building narrates in its architectural and decorative details.

The visits are scheduled at one-hour intervals from 11am to 1pm and from 3pm to 6pm on Saturday 7 October 2023.
