Alberta Pane Gallery is pleased to present Nano Particles Genesis, a solo exhibition by Italian artist Michelangelo Penso, which will be showcased across both locations of the Paris gallery. The exhibition is accompanied
by an interview with the artist by the curator Dominique Moulon. This exhibition shows the evolution of Penso's
research on magnetic nanoparticles - a process that began in 2023 during his collaboration with the IIT (Italian Institute of Technology) - through a new installation entitled Magnetic nanoparticles Genesis, as
well as wall works inspired by molecular or cellular biomarkers*. Research into magnetic nanoparticles is
revolutionising fields such as biomedicine, energy and electronics. These microscopic
elements, invisible to the naked eye, possess unique properties capable of influencing the world on a macroscopic scale. The artist aims to explore the interaction between science and human perception, using the magnetism of nanoparticles as a metaphor for the invisible connection between the elements of
life. Magnetic nanoparticles not only affect the visual world, but also the sonic environment. The artist uses acoustic transducers in his work, allowing us to feel the related vibrations and frequencies. The installation offers a new level of immersion, becoming a multi-sensory experience that includes touch, hearing and sight. Penso sees his immersive works not only as a means of visualising scientific concepts, but also as spaces where viewers can connect with the invisible through the movement of vibration and sound. His works stimulate reflection on the interconnection between technology, art and science, rendering the microscopic world
tangible and poetic. Through tactile vibrations, they offer a new way to perceive the invisible, fostering an intimate connection between the public and the world of science.
