SIMONA WELLER | fragments of a discourse on method.

Simona Weller

With this exhibition the gallery intends to extend an ongoing reflection on the relationship between writing and the visual arts, between the word and the image – particularly as regards artistic activity between the 1960s and the 1980s – by exploring the work of Simona Weller, who can be defined as an artist-writer. The subtitle comes from the reference to the philosophical treatise by Descartes “Discourse on the Method for Reasoning Well and for Seeking Truth in the Sciences” is intended to allude to the idea that artistic activity and creation is an integral part of an essential cognitive process.
