Text
Louise Giovanelli paints striking hypnotic works that emit light both on a visual and metaphorical level. Her works often show mysterious objects, such as a closed curtain, a glimmering shock of hair, or the reflecting surface of a cocktail glass. There are also human figures, often women, seemingly caught in moments between awe and desperation, or about to cross over a border of experience and knowledge. Their motives are held deliberately unclear, and are presented together with the analogue blurring of a memory or a half-forgotten dream.
A Song of Ascents is presented in cooperation between The Hepworth Wakefield (Leeds), Museum Villa Stuck (Munich) and HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark. The exhibition will be accompanied by an 80-page English-language publication of the same title, edited by The Hepworth Wakefield, and available via HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark as project partner. It will include a text by Phoebe Cripps, a conversation with Louise Giovanelli and Marie-Charlotte Carrier, a pop quiz by Charlie Fox, and poems by Helenskià Collett, with reproductions and illustrations of all the works shown in the exhibition.
