Konvergenser #10 (Ten Years of NEVVEN) — Part 1
Apr 30 — Jun 15, 2025

Convergence: at the same time in the same place something happens.

It is a magical equation and an alignment of stars, where energies are released, floating in the air like dust shining backlit.

It is a shared direction, consciously or unconsciously pursued. It is a shared concept searched through different media, or it is different ideas manifesting through similar execution.

We categorise, we attempt to define genres and styles, but sometimes it is just about looking. It is about observing the interactions, feeling the connections and the incongruences.

A convergence as a gathering of ideas, getting closer and suddenly retracting. It is about movement, whatever the direction, whatever the motive. It is about what escapes a definition, what tickles our eyes exactly because it doesn’t have a clear explanation, a clear affiliation.

It is the beauty of an unstable balance, of a wavering symmetry.

Alina Vergnano and Mattia Lullini(1)

Konvergenser #10 is a group show celebrating the first ten years of NEVVEN, exhibiting works from a selection of 19 artists, very partially representing the 156 artists exhibited in the 85 shows arranged by the project since 2015. It is a show where artists that are already part of the art history of their own countries are blended together with young emerging practices that are starting to make their mark, where artists that made the story of the gallery meet the ones at the forefront of its program now, in an attempt to look back at these ten years of shows, depicting what the project has now become, and possibly giving a glimpse of what the future of NEVVEN might be.
