Ncontemporary is pleased to present When The Sun Sets, a group exhibition featuring works by six international artists: Marion Baruch (Romania, 1929), Aldo Mondino (Italy, 1938–2005), Vasilis Papageorgiou (Greece, 1991), Neil Raitt (UK, 1986), Maria D. Rapicavoli (Italy, 1976), Santiago Reyes Villaveces (Colombia, 1986), alongside a design intervention by the collective EX. The exhibition is curated by Erica Massaccesi.

The horizon is an invisible line, yet one that is always present. It separates the earth from the sky, but it can also connect vision to imagination, a visual language to oneiric projection, the identity of the individual to alterity. The artists involved, each one with a distinct and personal expressive code, explore the horizon as a multifaceted threshold: a geographical boundary, a symbolic and liminal space, a distance between self and other, a point of tension between what is known and what lies elsewhere, between what we can reach and what remains distant, geographically, emotionally, or culturally.
