About Junija (Yuna) Galejeva

Event: SOUL-Tsukumogami

Dates: 27 Nov 2024 - 3 Dec 2024

The Japanese word "tsukumogami" (付喪神) refers to a specific concept in Japanese
mythology and culture: literally translated, "tsukumogami" means "spirit hidden in objects." The exhibition “SOUL-Tsukumogami" celebrates not only art but also the secret life of everyday objects, offering spaces for pure contemplation and reflection. The presented works, created by carefully selected artists, use their unique visual language to offer the audience special visions and profound inspirations, inviting prolonged reflection on the uniqueness and intrinsic meaning of things that are often taken for granted.

Event: HAZE

Dates: 21 Oct 2024 - 3 Nov 2024

A term that evokes fog, both as an atmospheric condition and as a metaphor for an enveloping and elusive emotional state. In the artistic realm, Haze represents not only a blurred vision of the world but also a mental condition where thoughts and emotions remain concealed, hidden within the mind and invisible to others. This "fog" becomes a powerful expressive medium, particularly suited to abstract styles, where contours dissolve, and reality is transfigured into rarefied and indistinct forms. From a psychological perspective, Haze becomes a representation of a perceptual alteration that obscures the clarity of thoughts and emotions. It is the state where the unconscious takes over, where dreams, memories, and repressed desires emerge inambiguous and undefinable forms. In this sense, art that explores Haze becomes a journey into the depths of the mind, a symbolic representation of what lies hidden beneath the surface of consciousness.

Event: Contemporary

Dates: 24 Jul 2024 - 5 Aug 2024

A seguire dell’esposizione Wonder, che ha visto una maggiore presenza di artisti astrattisti e sculture, si svolgerà “Contemporary”, secondo atto di “Wonder” con opening il 24 luglio e finissage il 4 agosto. Un re-opening motivato da un cambio di allestimento e che ha l’obiettivo di dar vita ad allestimenti più essenziali. Il secondo appuntamento ha inoltre lo scopo di rendere più coinvolgente l’esposizione con l’introduzione di novità pittoriche internazionali. Contemporary vuole anch’essa essere un’esplorazione delle filosofie artistiche contemporanee, dove il cromatismo e il segno su tela riflettono valori sociali attuali. Le opere diventano un racconto della vita odierna, della frenesia quotidiana, della necessità di leggerezza o nostalgia del passato. Contemporary si offre come libro visivo contemporaneo, in cui ognuno può scorgere pagine della propria esistenza.

Event: Wonder

Dates: 5 Jul 2024 - 21 Jul 2024

Attraverso le opere di artisti contemporanei di fama internazionale, "Wonder" invita il pubblico a riscoprire la capacità di stupirsi, di vedere il mondo con occhi nuovi, e di trovare bellezza e meraviglia in ogni angolo della vita. Le opere in mostra spaziano tra diversi media - pittura, scultura, installazioni, video arte e performance - ciascuna offrendo una prospettiva unica e sorprendente. Gli artisti presenti, con le loro creazioni, sfidano le percezioni convenzionali e aprono finestre su nuovi universi, dove l'immaginazione regna sovrana. L'esposizione curata dalla Dott.ssa Beatrice Cordaro, Storico dell’arte e curatore, si sviluppa come un viaggio attraverso diverse tematiche: il sogno e la realtà, la natura e l'artefatto, il familiare e lo sconosciuto.

Event: SOUL-Tsukumogami

Dates: 11 Jun 2024 - 16 Jun 2024

The Japanese word "tsukumogami" (付喪神) refers to a specific concept in Japanese mythology and culture: literally translated, "tsukumogami" means "spirit hidden in objects." This term refers to inanimate objects that, after a certain time, around a hundred years, transform into spirits. The figure of "tsukumogami" has deeply influenced Japanese culture, appearing in folk tales, works of art, theater, and even in modern manga and anime.
"SOUL-Tsukumogami" aims to be a starting point for a careful reflection on the relationship between humans and the things that surround them. Art itself is a "thing" - an "object" that possesses a soul and expresses it to the viewer. The exhibition will give artists the opportunity to express themselves on the concept of spirituality and the connection that exists between them and their works.

Event: THINKING TO THE FUTURE

Dates: 6 Mar 2024 - 16 Mar 2024

An Aboriginal proverb recites the following words: "Take care of the Earth and the Earth will take care of you, destroy the Earth and the Earth will destroy you", an important thought from which to start for careful reflection. Taking care of the environment is a topic of great importance and extremely current, how can we talk about sustainability and how can we be sustainable? Surely the first step to protect the environment is to know it and get as close as possible to Nature, how often do we come into contact with it? The selected artists will have the opportunity to get closer to the elements of nature, representing them as they see fit and how they interpret the environment, choosing the tools they deem best. Colors and materials, whatever they are, will be the protagonists together with the ideas of each artist. An exhibition that pays attention to sustainability, to the sensitivity of the artists and the observer, where art becomes the starting point for careful reflection.

Event: Melancholy

Dates: 12 Oct 2023 - 19 Oct 2023

Curated by VANESSA VITI & ELISABETTA ELIOTROPIO

“Melancholy men, of all others, are the most witty.” Aristotele

Sitting with his hand holding his head and looking down at the ground. The diagnosis is clear, it is the 'melancholic'. It is revealed through these details, always the same despite the ages and disparate backgrounds. Artists, poets, musicians always intent on observing the melancholic and yet they themselves often perfectly impersonate the role. [...] Melancholy invokes an emotional sphere that is as impervious as it is fascinating, in which everyone has a way of reflecting a side of his or her existence. A psychophysical character that has always been the character considered closest to the artist. [...]
On the occasion of the exhibition Melancholy we are curious to see the effects of melancholy by international artists. To ultimately come to recognize, in the postures and put-on looks of others, a bit of ourselves.

Event: Colours and sounds

Dates: 25 Aug 2023 - 30 Aug 2023

Curated by Vanessa Viti-Music by Alessio Calicchia

“Colour is the key, the eye is the gavel, the soul is the piano with many strings” (Vassili Kandinsky)

The “Colours and sounds” exhibition aims to be a unique experience, a concert of music and colours. The protagonists of the exhibition will be the artists, their works and the music connected to them; the user will live the visit of the exhibition as a sensory experience in which sight and hearing will play an important role, they will be the ones to pluck the strings of emotions.

Event: Psycroma

Dates: 22 Jul 2023 - 14 Aug 2023

Psycroma 2023 continues with an international artist: Junija Galejeva. The Crystal sala d'arte exhibition will host the Lithuanian painter from Saturday 22 July to Sunday 6 August. She will present her works created using the oil on canvas technique. The exhibition is curated by Vanessa Viti.

The combination of painting and music is an essential and vital part of Junija's work, so much so that the artist herself explains that for her 'painting means composing music on canvas'. All this leaves the viewer free to interpret Galejeva's paintings according to their own feelings and the emotions they arouse at that moment. The artist leaves room for free interpretation of her works, the spectator must feel free to see and hear what he or she wants, just as when listening to music, everyone hears it differently and the emotions it arouses are often different.

Event: Thinking to the Future

Dates: 27 May 2023 - 2 Jun 2023

An exhibition born to reflect on the climate emergency, the role that each of us plays to contribute to a functional change in which every single individual in his small way can decide to implement. Raise awareness through culture, artists and their art to cultural change. In this exhibition we talk about sustainability, environment, development through the works of some selected artists who through their artistic language are able to make us go through a reunion with the elements of nature, with the vibrations that arise within us when we feel and perceive the language of each individual artist, sensations that take us back to our origins, but which allow us to reconnect with the world by creating progress, evolution, empathy between human beings. - artcurator Giulia Zanesi

Event: LOVE Yourself Art Exhibition

Dates: 2 Feb 2023 - 28 Feb 2023

When art and fashion meet, new languages born where shapes, colours and geometries become the expression and evocation of great works. Often the languages of art and fashion contaminating each other give life to new patterns and styles. In recent years we have witnessed a strong intertwining between the two worlds, works of art become patterns for the fabrics of clothes, or even become
points of inspiration in the creation of entire collections. Investigate the colours, shapes or pure abstraction of contemporary art that can be of inspiration and how it can connect with the world of fashion. Discover the liaison made up of uniqueness, study of details, search for beauty that exists between the works of art of contemporary artists and the design works of great stylists....
