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 SOLO EXHIBITIONS Un’eco lontana, directed by Monica Villa, critical text by Leda Lunghi, Villa Contemporanea, Monza, 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 CATALOGUES Metamòrphosis, Saba Masoumian e Amedeo Abello, Iacopo Pasqui, Matilde Piazzi, Silvana Editoriale, Cinisello Balsamo, 2016 NOTES Published as cover artwork on the catalogue Metamòrphosis, Saba Masoumian e Amedeo Abello, Iacopo Pasqui, Matilde Piazzi, Silvana Editoriale, Cinisello Balsamo, 2016 Published on the celebration edition Anniversary Five Years, Exhibitions, Villa Contemporanea, Monza, 2017 Published as part of the two-times awarded Dry Ground Sea video installation of the public collection of Museo Civico Ernesto e Teresa Della Torre in Treviglio on the catalogues Premio d’Arte Città di Treviglio e Concorso Giovani Talenti 2016, Publi Paolini, Mantova, 2016, Esodo, cammini di liberazione, Fondazione Culturale San Fedele, Milan, 2016, and on the reviews Le Scatole di Saba, passaggi umani in scala ridotta, wrote by Milena Becci, Espoarte No. 94, 2016, Esodo, cammini di liberazione fra anima e corpo, in mostra a Milano i giovani artisti del Premio San Fedele, wrote by Luca Frigerio, Avvenire Milano Sette, June 19, 2016, Le vie dell’Esodo al premio San Fedele, wrote by Maurizio Zuccaro, Metro Milano, June 3, 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:
