Temple University Rome is pleased to present the exhibition Spes (Third Present), with the recent works of Heather Roach and Pierre Peroncini, to be held in the Gallery of Art from Tuesday May 21, 6-8pm, and running until Wednesday June 19, 2024.

The show continues our mission to research and exhibit young and emerging artists present in Rome.

Through these works the artists Heather Roach and Pierre Peroncini combine the time of narration to the simultaneous interaction of the three presents as stated in the XI book of the Confessions of S. Agostino: the present of the past (memory), the present of the present (intuition) and the present of the future (expectation). Therefore, meaning memory is a display of simultaneity of the environments we experience.

The dynamics between subjects and environments is constantly mutable.

The artwork then becomes a vessel of subjectivation for the viewer, who has an active role in reassembling the image's significance.
