until 14.06. | #4700ARTatBerlin | Luisa Catucci Gallery shows from Friday, 16th May 2025 the exhibition CHRONOTOPES by the artists Simone Pellegrini, Aniana Heras and Forlenza.
Chronotopes is an exhibition that presents the scenario of an imagined culture – a fictitious civilisation that emerges from the coming together of three independent artistic practices. The presentation is designed like a museum: with display cases, objects and arrangements. The works on display are not historical finds, but deliberately conceived as artefacts of speculative worlds – chronotopoi in Bakhtin’s sense, in which space and meaning are presented in non-linear contexts.
The exhibition is curated as a fictional and internally consistent cultural narrative and brings together three artists who have not previously worked together: Simone Pellegrini, whose drawings depict cartographic and script-like structures; Aniana Heras, whose ceramics are reminiscent of vessels and fragments; and Forlenza, whose jewellery is inspired by historical models. Chronotopes presents a system of symbolic references that functions without a direct historical context – as a representation of a culture between memory and construction.

Simone Pellegrini
Drawing
Large-format works by Simone Pellegrini are at the centre of Chronotopes. His works combine elements of drawing and writing. The gestural, process-based execution refers to processes of reflection and leads to compositions with an open legibility.

Aniana Heras
Ceramics
Aniana Heras shows ceramic forms that refer to rituals of a fictitious culture – vessels that have no functional use and are reminiscent of containers with commemorative or symbolic content. A traditional vase from her region of origin serves as the starting point for closed objects that are designed using a personalised formal language.

Forlenza
Jewellery
Forlenza shows pieces of jewellery that refer to historical forms of jewellery and ritual objects. These works combine the fictional archaeology of the exhibition with material elements and thematise cultural identity through bodily objects.
Vernissage: Friday, 16 May 2025, from 7 to 9 pm
Exhibition dates: Friday, 16 May – Saturday, 14 June 2025
