Exhibition Museo Riso, Cappella dell'Incoronazione, Palermo 2018

BIAS, Biennale Internazionale di Arte Contemporanea Sacra e delle Religioni Dell'Umanità

For the second edition of BIAS, Biennale Internazionale di Arte Contemporanea Sacra e delle Religioni Dell'Umanità, 2018 in Palermo, Sylke von Gaza's contribution Camael Red Veil Triptychhas been chosen to be shown in Cappella dell'Incoronazione del Museo Riso in Palermo, integrated in the Padiglione Filosofico. From 14 April until 14 September BIAS takes place in various sites all over Palermo, this year's Italian Capital of Culture and host city of the Manifesta 12. For this second edition of BIAS, the curatorial team lead by Chiara Modìca Donà dalle Rose chose the title "La Porta – Porta itineris dicitur longissima esse...". Sylke von Gaza's abstract triptych with its luminous veils of glowing red paint is named after Camael, the cherubim with the flaming sword that was placed at the gate to guard the tree of life after the traumatic expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3.24). It may be read as a metaphor for mankind's first step on the path toward self-awareness.
