Different grids of vertically or horizontally arranged white rectangles almost completely cover the four shop windows of Ateliergemeinschaft Mikky Burg. The individual rectangular shapes made of polystyrene are arranged in rhythmic rows. The edges of the respective polystyrene panels are separated by wooden, black square bars. In the first window we see a division into six vertical columns, each separated into three different rectangular shapes. In the following window areas, the number of columns alternates between six and four, with the division ratio of the carrés arranged within them varying between three and five.
Mathematical number sequences, such as the Fibonacci sequence, are crucial compositional tools in Pietro Sabatelli's oeuvre. If we look at the installation from its primary viewpoint outside the studio, it offers a closed impression of space. Like a segmented wall of individual opaque tiles, separated by narrow black strips, which, however, optically recede into the background as interstices and dissolve like voids in the process of perception. On closer inspection of the polystyrene panels, their surface also catches the eye. It is the cut edge covering the entire surface that emerges in dense, diagonal parallel hatches during the process of industrial production. Sabatelli makes use of this detail by also mounting the Styrofoam panels alternately, according to the direction of the pattern, behind the window front. This creates different, offset surface textures that enliven the evenness of the installation's impenetrable overall impression.
Nevertheless, the viewer is denied a glimpse into the studio. Although the title of the work, "Condamner" - "to condemn", may imply a one-sided reading of the exclusion of the public, it certainly also captures current sensitivities, such as social isolation and loneliness, which characterise the everyday lives of many during the pandemic. It should be reconciliatory that the installation moves from the inside of the studio to the outside, into a light-filled space. outwards, the installation transforms into a translucent plane. The composition of the installation also finds its counterpart in the artist's object-like panel paintings. The unique series of pictures are created as tempera or acrylic paintings on a plaster or wooden base, which Sabatelli then covers with epoxy resin or wax. (Text: Katharina Arlt)
