Curator Carrozzini Presents Nine "Worlds" at the Annex 'Out of this world is not a condition of absence, of estrangement, yet rather the act of shifting one's gaze and perspective, the curator Stefania Carrozzini said of the group show of that same name, organized by D'Ars International Exhibition Service, in Milan, Italy, and recently presented at The Annex, 601 West 26th Street. To make her point she presented nine artist with varying perspectives from which to ponder on the question of what constitutes the "ins and the outs" of contemporary reality. Also a poet and watercolorist, Giovanni Garasto employs photography to question the "hive of concrete" that constitutes the modern apartment complex. His deadpan views of rows of identical windows and balconies convey the conformist facades behind which modern passions must make themselves felt. ... But one suspects that Stefania Carrozzini, an art critic, journalist, curator, and the founder of D'Ars International Exhibition Service, was well aware that the questions she was raising were indeed metaphysical, when she came up with the title "Out of this World" as a context these nine intriguingly diverse artists to the New York art audience.
