Mymicrogallery is pleased to present SMALL INFINITY – Art in a shoe box, an international group exhibition conceived and curated by Stefania Carrozzini, bringing together 15 artists of different nationalities to explore the concept of infinity through an ordinary, familiar, and seemingly insignificant object: a shoebox.
How much infinity can a limited space contain?
This question lies at the heart of an exhibition project exploring the relationship between limitation and possibility, physical dimensions and imagination, between what can be contained and what, by its very nature, escapes all boundaries.
The shoebox becomes the starting point for an artistic and conceptual exploration. It does not necessarily function as a miniature exhibition space, but may become a container of ideas, a sculpture, a personal archive, a relic, a mental landscape, a narrative device, or an autonomous artwork.
It may hold images, photographs, small paintings, objects, fragments, words, sounds, memories, and immaterial presences. The box may be opened, closed, transformed, emptied, deconstructed, or simply evoked as a conceptual reference.
The fifteen participating artists, coming from different geographical and cultural backgrounds, are free to interpret this dimension through their own artistic languages, giving rise to a plurality of visions and sensibilities.
Small Infinity emerges from the paradox of a finite space capable of containing potentially infinite universes. Small scale does not imply a reduction of experience, but rather a different possibility for expansion. What is minimal can become immense; what is hidden can suggest entire worlds; what is absent can acquire a presence.
The exhibition invites reflection on the relationships between intimacy and vastness, memory and imagination, containment and freedom, matter and thought. Each artwork becomes the manifestation of a personal universe, a fragment of reality opening onto unexpected dimensions.
In a world that often associates value with size and visibility, Small Infinity proposes a reversal of perspective: infinity is not necessarily a matter of dimensions, but of possibilities.
The project reflects Stefania Carrozzini’s ongoing curatorial research, dedicated to experimentation, dialogue between artistic languages, and the exploration of new relationships between artwork, space, and viewer.
