– I think there’s a pain somewhere in the room, said Mrs Gradgrind,
but I couldn’t positively say that I have got it.

Mazzoleni presenta la prima personale di Rebecca Moccia (Napoli, 1992) negli spazi della galleria di Torino. La citazione di Charles Dickens in Hard Times, che dà il titolo al progetto espositivo, scelta dall’artista e già utilizzata dal filosofo Tonino Griffero in simili contesti semantici, ben esemplifica il tipo di visione degli stati emotivi che orientano la pratica di Moccia, che si articola sulle relazioni tra spazi, corpi e contesti.

Mazzoleni presents the first solo exhibition of Rebecca Moccia (b. Naples 1992) in the gallery space in Turin. The quotation from Charles Dickens in Hard Times, which gives the exhibition project its title, chosen by the artist and already used by the philosopher Tonino Griffero in similar semantic contexts, well exemplifies the kind of vision of emotional states that guides Moccia’s practice, which is articulated on the relationships between spaces, bodies and contexts.
