The Salon des Refusés at the Gare82 Gallery in Brescia

​One hundred artists, one hundred titles, one hundred visions.

"Salon des Refusés - This is not [just] the title" is a group exhibition born from the desire to create a horizon of freedom, where each work becomes an autonomous voice within a plural visual landscape.
As in the Salon des Refusés, which inspired the project, the act of refusal is transformed into possibility: the conscious inclusion of differences, languages, and perspectives.
The exhibition does not impose a theme or a canon but embraces multiplicity as a value.
The works coexist in the space like a constellation of signs, a mosaic of visions that do not merge but dialogue, creating resonances, tensions, and dissonances: the authentic language of the contemporary.
The title itself is a paradox, an invitation to look beyond: it does not define, but opens; it does not conclude, but multiplies.
"This is not (just) the title" is therefore a poetic declaration and an experiment in freedom, a place where art is regenerated through diversity.
