One, for example, was installed on the large black furniture of the corridor; another was up the washing machine, in the bathroom, to show an unusual correlation between the room he represented and the room that exposed it.” Roberta Aureli, «...To be a Flower, is profound / Responsibility». Una riflessione intorno a Secret Garden di Alessandra Calò, Sponge ArteContemporanea, 2017 “Saba Masoumian (...) shows us interiors of an abandoned habitation, in which we recognize the signs of the passing of a time that bring out distant memories, revealing deep drama, violence suffered, dramatic lacerations. Everything seems to speak of a death that has occurred, but also of an irrepressible desire for ransom, of a possible redemption, as if the pain asked to turn into hope.” Andrea Dall’Asta SJ, Metamòrphosis, Saba Masoumian e Amedeo Abello, Iacopo Pasqui, Matilde Piazzi, Silvana Editoriale, Cinisello Balsamo, 2016 “Saba Masoumian opens the lids, takes them apart and shows: the barrier of matter is canceled, the artist wants to tell and does not hide the content but creates it (...) as in a cinematographic set she directs the space, gives shape to the elements that constitute it, realizes the floor and the ceiling and puts in it the objects, symbols of a previous human passage that has been made and that we aren’t permitted to see.” Milena Becci, Saba Masoumian, In-A-Box, Sponge ArteContemporanea, 2016 PARTICIPATIONS Chunk3, with a solo exhibitions, presented by Team Cäef, curated by Claudia Capelli, Centro Arti Multiculturali Etnosociali, Sala Santi Filippo e Giacomo, Brescia, 2017 SOLO EXHIBITIONS Il sogno del corpo, curated by Sara Fontana, Sala Crociera of Centro Civico Culturale and Museo Civico Ernesto e Teresa Della Torre, Treviglio, 2017 In-A-Box, directed by Giovanni Gaggia, curated by Milena Becci, Casa Sponge, Pergola, 2016 MULTI-PERSON EXHIBITIONS Metamòrphosis, Saba Masoumian e i vincitori del Premio Arti Visive San Fedele, directed by Andrea Dall’Asta SJ, curated by Daniele Astrologo Abadal, Galleria San Fedele, Milan, 2016 GROUP EXHIBITIONS Per un’estetica dell’attesa: il limite dell’imminenza, presented by SAACI/Gallery in Saviano, critical text by Luca Palermo, SetUp Contemporary Art Fair, Palazzo Pallavicini, Bologna, 2018 CATALOGUES Chunk3, Centro Arti Multiculturali Etnosociali, Brescia, 2017 Saba Masoumian, Il sogno del corpo, Premio Città di Treviglio, Treviglio, 2017 Metamòrphosis, Saba Masoumian e Amedeo Abello, Iacopo Pasqui, Matilde Piazzi, Silvana Editoriale, Cinisello Balsamo, 2016 NOTES Published on the reviews Distant Echo of Masoumian in Italy, Financial Tribune, October 12, 2018, Le Scatole di Saba, passaggi umani in scala ridotta, wrote by Milena Becci, Espoarte No. 94, 2016 FLIPBOOKS Saba Masoumian, Il sogno del corpo: Un’eco lontana, Saba Masoumian: Premio d’arte Città Di Treviglio e Concorso Giovani Talenti 2016: Esodo, cammini di liberazione: Anniversary Five Years, Exhibitions: Scrapbook:
