Dear friends & colleagues, I hope this message finds you well. After a brief pause, and upon request of my lovely students I restored the Widget Art Gallery, back with a new GIF-based exhibition: “Iron Womb” by Olimpia Paldi. On view from June 21 to October 21, 2025. Visit the WAG: www.chiarapassa.it/wag
The WAG is a web-app cross-device gallery, just save the icon to your mobile home screen! You can still download the original widget version for Mac OSX Dashboard here: www.chiarapassa.it/wag.zip *About the show* Iron Womb evokes both a mechanical organ and a containment structure, blurring the line between protection and imprisonment. The work’s repetitive, mechanical spinning suggests a looped trauma or unresolved process - an eternal gestation. Framed like a shrine, its symmetrical space imbues the installation with ritualistic tension. More than an image of an unborn fetus, Iron Womb highlights the intersection of technology, reproduction, control, and alienation. It’s a haunting meditation on a world gestated not in biology, but in abstraction and systemic control. Olimpia Paldi is a B.A. student at the Fine Arts Academy of Rome. *About the WAG* Founded in 2008 by Chiara Passa, the Widget Art Gallery is a single-room virtual gallery that fits in your pocket. Designed as both a kunsthalle for temporary exhibitions and a growing permanent archive, the WAG presents site-specific solo shows viewable across all devices. Thanks for reading and enjoy the show! Warm regards, Chiara Passa
