4 December 2021 - 20 February 2022, Italy, Pergine Valsugana (Trento), Galleria Contempo, "Tabula Rasa", personal exhibition The "Tabula Rasa" exhibition by Paolo Vivian, set up in the spaces of the Galleria Contempo in Pergine Valsugana (Trento) is a sort of "ephemeris" on the valence of models of freedom and social norms during the extraordinary, absurd circumstances caused by the pandemic in past two years. The collection of panels, objects and sculptures is testimony of the search for identity, where the void is no longer an allegory, but takes and establishes its own visible form and its own sublime power. In Vivian's project, curated by Dora Bulart, the philosophical metaphor of tabula rasa is comparable to a personal state of mind and a collective reality during uncertain times, where only the memory and the hope are fertile. location: Galleria Contempo, via Tomaso Maier 48a, Pergine Valsugana (TN), 38057, Italy *Thanks for support to: Aseptic (Trento), Metalworking (Pergine) and Bandus pizza &grill ( Levico Terme) download the invitation pdf | download the poster pdf | download the press release pdf 18 June - 30 October 2021, Italy, Fierozzo (Trento), Filzerhof Ethnographic Museum, “Chi Sono / Io Sono”, solo exhibition On Friday, June 18th, 2021, at 7.30 pm, at the Filzerhof Ethnographic Museum in Fierozzo (Trento) in Italy will be presented to the public the artistic project by Paolo Vivian “Chi Sono / Io Sono” (Who Am I/ I Am) – a sculpture site specific & video installation, curated by Dora Bulart.

Inspired by the specific linguistic and anthropological situation of the Valle dei Mocheni in Trentino - a Germanic linguistic community of medieval origin, which has transmitted its language and culture over the centuries, the artist offers to the viewer participation in a journey to self-knowledge, to research of identity. He investigates the transfigurations of personal and collective identity through a dialogue between the external sculptural installation “Chi Sono” and the internal video installation "Io Sono”.
