In medio stat virtus
"Gulino works using a system of circular temporalness, an intricate net where present past and future merge with their culture, human geography and individual and collective past experiences. This temporal circularity allows Gulino to delimit the boundaries of cultures, without opposing them to one another, but placing them in a Socratic and dialogic space, open to comparison and crossing [...]. Open doors, dwelling on the idea of the threshold to be crossed and of its potentiality of communication and connection, books capable of speaking a language which does not belong to anybody and that is therefore absolutely universal and archetypal, are all themes that Gulino deals with in his works" . (Gianluca Ranzi, In medio stat virtus, in the catalogue for the individual show In Medio Stat Virtus, Fondazione Orestiadi of Gibellina, 2003)
"The artist focuses on the reuse of "old" doors, wardrobes and pantries, which he then transforms into several bookshelves containing wooden books. Imaginary books that the same artist makes, paints and "writes" [...]. While observing these "memory" containers, you can sense that the marks of time have left their print on wood planks, until becoming a sort of inscription in the title page of books.
A writing which then merges into the Latin quotes written directly by the artist and with all those marks, which he has deliberately invented, and that represent a sort of further utopian evolution of the language".
