For the last two years, Amande In (FR,1981) and Eugenio Percossi (IT, 1974) share the same working studio in Prague (CZ) city where they are living. The title of this exhibition state in a rather simple way the dialogue that exists between the two artists and is also an invitation made to the visitors to take part in "a conversation". The artworks presented share a common attitude toward language. Captions (ie. titles, materials) are an essential key to reach the further layers of their meaning. This is how, Eugenio Percossi, propose to the public the work "Untitled" that is described as made of "roses' torns and pain", moving our attention to a feeling being part of the experience rather than reducing it to what's visible. This attempt can also be encounter with "Little White Lie", a work that Amande In formulate with a caption that is the actual unique presence of the artwork itself. If art is an experience, sometimes it happen that it's not about what you see but rather about what you expect.
