Mario Airò’s exhibition “The gap in between” is opening on September 22, 2016 at the Bernier-Eliades Gallery, Athens |   September 15, 2016

“The gap in between”, a solo show of Olnick Spanu Art Program artist Mario Airò, is opening on September 22, 2016 at the Bernier-Eliades Gallery, Athens, and will be on view through November 17, 2016.
The tittle of the exhibition is inspired to a quote from a famous statement by Robert Rauschenberg: “Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made. I try to act in that gap between the two.”

According to Mario Airò, a work of art has a tangible presence in life: we meet and experience it. He believes that at the beginning nothing is fixed, so that he can model ideas, linguistic structures, materials with freedom and invention.

Mario Airò has been selected to create a site-specific installation at the GAM, Palermo |   May 10, 2016

Olnick Spanu Art Program artist Mario Airò has been selected by Gianluca Concialdi, a young artist from Palermo, to create a site-specific installation at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Palermo.

The collaboration between the two artists will produce an installation entitled Caro Federico, on view at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Palermo, from May 20 through June 30, 2016. More information on the project can be found here

Their work will combine natural materials like squid ink with elements taken from the urban world like recycled traffic signs thus showing the artists’ aim to create a connection between the dimension of reality and spirituality.
