Since Tuesday 23 May 2023 the new exhibition
“THE SIXTH SENSE OF SOGGETTIVA”
The best artworks that characterized Soggettiva Gallery’s programming, together with the six exhibitions presented since its establishment, are now on display to celebrate the first six months since the opening of the first space in Italy to be dedicated to the world of Alternative Movie Posters.
THE HOLY MOUNTAIN
For the occasion, Soggettiva Gallery also celebrates the 50th anniversary since the release of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s masterpiece The Holy Mountain with an extraordinary artwork created by the internationally renowned illustrator MURUGIAH.
CELEBRATING OZU ON THE SUMMER SOLSTICE
The program continues from June 20, at the turn of spring and summer, with a focus on the Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu, since it is both the anniversary of his birth (1903) and his death (1963). The show celebrates, in particular, the films that Ozu created after changing seasons, such as Early Summer and Late Spring, to which the New York artist Katherine Lam dedicates two works characterised by poetic tones. The posters by Tom Hugomat and Joseph Chiang that reimagine Tokyo Story, distributed exactly 70 years ago, also focus on the seasons, this time intended as life phases.
ALTERNATIVE MOVIE POSTERS…WHAT ELSE?
Soggettiva Gallery confirms itself as a reference point for Italian and international fans of the contamination between cinema and other art forms: from graphic design to illustration and engraving. Alternative Movie Posters, refined re-interpretation of the traditional movie posters by international artists, quickly aroused the affection and appreciation of cinephiles on the one hand and lovers of beauty on the other
SIX MONTHS…SIX EXHIBITIONS…THE SIXTH SENSE OF SOGGETTIVA
To celebrate its first six months of life, Soggettiva Gallery retraces the steps of its path started with MONSTERS (Sacred) vs MONSTERS (And that’s it) – unprecedented dialogue between cult films and monstrous creatures like Godzilla and King Kong – and culminated in April, during the Milan Design Week, with Perspective: Artistic Movie Poster, which featured the architecture and geographies of the most visionary movies of the last decades.
In the middle, Unconventional Christmas, which focused on artworks that offer a new pespective on the movie we love the most, Christmas’ ones.
Then, Lynch Highway, where the red curtain opened on movie posters inspired by American grotesque’s master, David Lynch.
What about love? The Mood for Love displayed the greatest love stories of Cinema (the reference, obviously, is to the iconic film by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai.
Finally, Tarantino and friends – a dive into the great titles that have marked the career of the most Pulp director ever.
THE SIXTH SENSE OF SOGGETTIVA kicks off with three sacred monsters of cinema: the artist Adam Maida made a psychedelic reinterpretation of Stalker by Andrej Tarkovskij, while Adam Juresko tributes Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita and David Cronenberg’s The Fly.
Actual monsters will be celebrated with the reinterpretation of the terrifying Godzilla by Francesco Casolari.
There could not be a less conventional Christmas than the one celebrated in May: Simone Macciocchi pays homage to Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton with a series of unique artworks.
Bartosz Kosowski and Przemek Debowski, two artists of the Polish school, drew inspiration from David Lynch’s timeless films offering their original vision of Lost Highway and Dune, while Adam Juresko confronted himself with the iconic Twin Peaks.
The works of Silvia Cocomazzi come directly from the Milan School of Comics: they all concentrate on the extraordinary films by Wong Kar-wai, in particular In the Mood for Love.
There will be the Alternative Movie Posters related to the most recent exhibitions as well: the entire cinematic universe of Quentin Tarantino is summarized in the work that Ape Meets Girl reserves to Pulp Fiction, while Uma Thurman, in the role of The Bride in Kill Bill, inspired the evocative poster by Mark Reihill.
Finally, on display, the most famous architectures appeared in the history of cinema, two of which in New York: The Royal Tenenbaum’s reassuring house, re-designed by George Townley, and the definitely more disturbing Rosemary’s Baby’s building, re-imagined by Max Dalton.
