The event dedicated to Elena Scategni is part of the Wall project by Kou Gallery, an essential and direct exhibition format designed to focus attention on a single artist and a specific project. Wall is conceived as a platform for comparison: one wall, one artist, one judgment. A reduced-to-the-essentials space that invites the public to observe more intensely, reflect, and take a position, turning the visit into an active and participatory experience.
Within this context, the artist’s work finds in the Wall an ideal device to express its conceptual and formal strength. The research takes shape through sculptures inspired by the internal structure of cacti and cast in bronze, investigating the relationship between nature and transformation, apparent fragility and solidity, bringing to light what usually remains unseen. The deliberately focused installation encourages a close relationship between artwork and viewer, amplifying the perceptual and emotional impact of the works on display.
A central element of the Wall project is the electronic voting system, which allows visitors to express a direct judgment on the artistic intervention. The audience thus becomes an active part of the process, contributing to a collective critical dialogue around the work and the artist’s language. Voting is not merely symbolic but reinforces the idea of Wall as a space of exchange, listening, and confrontation between artist and community.
Alongside this mechanism is a further element of involvement: the artist provides a small artwork, separate from those displayed on the wall, which is raffled among all visitors who have taken part in the voting. The draw transforms the act of voting into a meaningful gesture, creating a tangible bond between audience and artist and making the Wall experience memorable and shared.
