Christian Flamm realized a new series of eight draw-
ings inspired by 15th century mural drawing «Basler Totentanz» (Dance of Death). The series at Basel was made famous through the copperplates that Matthäus Merian created in 1616–1649. Personifying death in that way, cheerful and in the mood for a dance, was a not common theme of art during that period.
The work of Christian Flamm reveals the false mechanism of images and ideas imposed by mainstream media. His point of view is the one from a critical distance, a sort of veto to adhesion or refusal. It’s a different understanding of history.
Nicola Gobbetto projected a site specific installa-
tion referred to Swan Lake, the ballet that Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky composed in 1875–1876. The work is thought as a stage where two shapes evoke corps half humans and half animals. It concerns two dis-
tant realities connected on the basis of the common age between childhood and adulthood. This season of life is investigated by Nicola Gobbeto in his artistic production as metaphor of a material and spiritual condition.

Delia Gonzalez shows her last drawings that she
considers like musical compositions: «I think and feel in shapes and patterns so making drawings and making music is my way of expressing the feelings I cannot put into words: the visual sound of the unconscious.
My drawings are my way of integrating myself into life’s system, life’s biological order. In my drawings circles I also refer to the moon and represent birth, death, re birth: the endless cycle of life».
