Tutti i racconti, curated by Domitilla Dardi

Magazzino is pleased to present Tutti i racconti, the second exhibition at the gallery by the duo Malgeri Endo, curated by Domitilla Dardi. The exhibition will be open to the public from March 20th until May 20th, 2025. Inspired by the poetics and imagery of Primo Levi, the exhibition explores the relationship between norm and transformation, order and freedom, body and metamorphosis.

The project stems from a suggestion: a dialogue with Primo Levi’s short stories, particularly Storie Naturali and Vizio di forma, in which the author investigates, with irony and depth, the boundary between science, ethics, and the human condition. Malgeri and Endo translate this tension into works that evoke the dialectic between structure and adaptation, between the cage of an imposed canon and the freedom of an evolving organism.

The discovery of Levi’s copper wire sculptures – made public only in 2019 – served as an intriguing point of reflection on the creative process that the two artists have pursued for more than ten years, leading them to reflect on the act of transformation: bending, welding, and shaping matter not only as an artistic gesture but as a metaphor for the human condition.

Tutti i racconti is an invitation to explore the power of collective storytelling and memory through a dialogue between past and present, between words and form, between thought and material.

The exhibition is accompanied by a critical text by Domitilla Dardi.
