STOP ALLO 048 DEGLI OGGETTI
Exhibitions, Italy, Catania, 22 October 2011
The exhibition invites artists to exhibit forty young recycled materials, obtained from residues of industrial production, with the aim of re-inventing their meanings.
The code "048" is exempt from the ticket, used in the medical field, to mean "people with malignant neoplastic diseases", ie the sudden madness that determines their cellular replication indefinitely. These cells with the progression of time, in our body cells take on the definition of "metastasis".

In our consumer society, items purchased, at first meet our social anxieties (shopping conpulsivo), after buying the product just like cells in the "metastasis" populate our city streets and natural landscapes such as cancer cells and contaminate our ecosystem that screams for a long time "stop" to pollution.
"Stop the 048 objects" will also deal with social issues put aside, in that dark world, adrift due to excessive rush of contemporary society. In this regard, it intends to seek observer reflection on topics generally rejected by society, such as homeless people, de-personalization, senility, mental illness.

Our society is sick and outwardly: examples are the accumulations of filth in every corner of the abandoned city. Both internally, if we consider all kinds of discomfort that the censorship and misinformation becomes taboo because it "refuses" to deepen: marginalization, prostitution, drug abuse, child exploitation, mental illness. The Latins asserted "mens sana in corpore sano" healthy mind in a healthy body.

The company would recover becoming environmentally friendly, respecting and taking care of the environment that surrounds us (through the collection and consumption of fair trade), and looking to the preservation of our inner world.
