For the artist, the corner is the first element of an alphabet of signs capable of representing space, and it is on it that he articulates his plastic language, always in relation to the place.

Nadia Galbiati, sculptress from Milan, bases her research on the study of angles in contemporary architecture, and their fundamental role to define a physical space, placing them the as foundation of the relationship between empty space and material. Her sculptures are the synthetic result of the analytic observation of these angles, in relation to the volumes and lines in urban spaces and architectures – with a predilection for the rational architecture of the 1930s. By reinterpreting the urban landscape and the macrostructures of buildings into sculptures and engraved metal plates of relatively small dimensions, Galbiati creates a new type of space – slightly reminded of El Lissitzky and the Bauhaus and constructivist movements – where the viewer becomes suddenly aware of the Taoist balance between full and empty, solid and aery.
