Cosmogonie
The topic area of the Cosmogonies project is the Cosmos. A Cosmos seen as a multiverse seen, read and interpreted by comparing the most diverse theories that are told and explained over time at inter-disciplinary meetings, events and conferences. The programmatic intention of the project is to develop a climate of a possible synergy between arts and sciences that does not neglect any discipline and favors mutual inspiration by proposing interventions by physicists, astronomers, mathematicians, architects, poets, philosophers, astrophysicists and botanists... The works on display were made by Paolo Barlusconi with many different materials used in everyday life. These materials of industrial production are used as elements, alphabetic or grammatical signs to articulate a story. Each work is created, not by shaping the material according to the principles of painting or sculpture, but by creating, in the eyes of the observer, a sort of change from a status to another of the objects used,
