Ala d’Amico
Entre chien et loup
Curated by Ilaria Gianni

Opening: November 26, 2025
6 - 9 pm

The French expression “entre chien et loup” dates back to the Middle Ages, when daily life depended heavily on natural light. It describes the moment of the day when the light fades without yet turning into full darkness, when visibility is so low that one can no longer distinguish a dog (domestic and loyal) from a wolf (wild and threatening).
It is precisely within that enigmatic uncertainty, in that transition between states, that Ala d’Amico’s new body of work is situated. “Entre chien et loup” consists of silkscreen works on wooden panels, upon which – thanks to the artist’s meticulous and patient use of graphite, silver powder, charcoal, chalk or ink – forms emerge, that lose their clarity and turn into presences. These images are permeated with an ambiguous sense of loss, in the sense articulated by Pauline Boss, to whom the artist feels deeply conntected: a relational and elusive condition that remains unresolved and instead becomes the very space the images inhabit. This “loss,” understood by Boss as relational and elusive, is experienced and overcome through a non-resolution. Ala d’Amico reworks it within the paradoxical state of uncertainty of the images produced by her hand and returned through her creative vision. From the shapes transformed by the blue, twilight light to those becoming more threatening with the arrival of darkness, what at first appeared familiar, reassuring because recognisable, slowly dissolves within Ala’s images and settles into our own projections, into the sedimentations of our thoughts. Our suspended gaze observes what is no longer there, unable to fully grasp it. No longer domesticated by our knowledge, it has shifted into something else, rendered wild. After a first step into this ambivalent and undefined transitional dimension, at the boundary between the known and the unknown (the works are no longer entirely clear or stable), the elusive dark shadows of the “wolf” metaphorically begin to appear over time, symbol of what is uncontrollable, unpredictable, untamable, and frightening.

2025

From figuration to the edge of abstraction – fragments, atmospheres, afterimages.

Magazzino is pleased to take part in this year’s edition of Artissima, presenting works by Francesca Leone, Piero Manzoni, Quayola, Alessandro Piangiamore and David Schutter.

Between the memory of gesture and the metamorphosis of matter, the presentation explores painting and its extensions across mediums: from the phenomenological investigations of David Schutter, where painting becomes an act of remembrance and a way to unveil new perspectives, to Quayola’s digital reinterpretations of Constable’s Storms, translating the sublime into motion and code.

Alessandro Piangiamore collects fragments of soil gathered during his travels, transforming them into almost monochrome panels, pure matter that unfolds into silent poetry, a continuous incipit where dust becomes vision.

With Francesca Leone, painting expands into sculpture: discarded metal sheets, moulded and painted, turn into surfaces that reclaim delicacy within strength.

Magazzino is pleased to announce its participation in the exhibition Room with a view, organized in collaboration with _Polimeno

On view from October 20 to 26 at 3 Avenue Matignon, Paris, the show unfolds within a top-floor Parisian apartment overlooking the city’s most iconic landmarks — from the Sacré-Cœur to the Eiffel Tower.

Conceived as a domestic space suspended between arrival and departure, Room with a view creates a dialogue between ancient and contemporary art, from Egyptian, Greek, and Roman marbles to works by Cy Twombly, Kader Attia, Nan Goldin, Alighiero Boetti, Lucio Fontana, Mario Schifano, among others.

Through this encounter between eras, materials, and sensibilities, the exhibition explores intimacy, memory, and the pleasure of discovery — a home of encounters where art and life converge.

For this occasion, Magazzino has selected works by Alighiero Boetti, Mircea Cantor , Gabriella Crespi, Ala d’Amico , A.R. Penck, Mario Schifano, Giambattista Tiepolo (attributed to Gerolamo Mengozzi-Colonna), and Cy Twombly.
