ENDLESS SUMMER | Guido Guidi
Viasaterna is pleased to announce the participation
of Guido Guidi in the second edition of ENDLESS SUMMER, a
three-year exhibition cycle (2025–2027) conceived by MAGMA APS, which
will take place from May 16 to July 1, 2026 at the Magazzino
del Sale of Cervia. By examining the utopian idea of an endless summer as
an evocative and narrative device, the project stems from the desire to
experiment with new forms of cooperation linked to individual curatorial
practices, envisioning the exhibition as a jam session in which each critical
and authorial specificity is enhanced without rivalry or competition.
ENDLESS SUMMER thus takes shape as a shared experience built on dialogue. Over the three years of the project, a group of curators from different generations—each with their own sensibilities and lines of research—invites visual artists, both emerging and established, active on the Italian and international scene, to reflect on summer as a possible poetic suggestion. A season in which time seems to stretch, light redefines rhythms and spaces, and new perceptions, visions, and desires dynamically take form.
The project moves within this suspended dimension, evoked more as a mental state than as a mere climatic phenomenon: summer thus becomes a perceptual threshold in which the intensity of experience intertwines with its own transience, and the vitality of the present is already accompanied by a sense of melancholy for the inevitable end of the season. ENDLESS SUMMER is an invitation to experience the exhibition as one experiences summer: with the awareness of a full and present intensity, destined, however, to dissolve.
