(CON) TEMPORARY SHOP - Ideas for sale
By Stefano Verri
This exhibition plays ironically on the concept of temporary shop where artists are selling their ideas. An ideal shop that highlights our contemporary condition, creating a path that leads from our obsession with time to appreciating slow-time as a contrast, as a new model for a sustainable path. The exhibition is divided into two sections closely linked giving viewers the chance to observe critically different lifestyles. The contemporary mainstream is especially well represented by the work of Giovanni Presutti in his series returns Dependency in which humanity is constantly on the run from itself and victim of its own weaknesses; while Rita Soccio uses an ironic and irreverent, ruthless set of marketing mechanisms to describe an attractive and aesthetically perfect a world, that is based on values without any solidity. Values such as money in Hisako Mori's work, ironically turns into a purse origami producing beauty instead of buying it. Serve as the backdrop For love only for love, embroidery shirt Malcovich John Paul Angelosanto and Ali squamous Giovanni Gaggia through interventions are a result of a slow movement, patient and socially shared reflect the need to stop thinking about future models. The work of Jukuki in this context represents a sort of glue, the common thread that unites the various poetic, the Hobo, the beggar and American neo-romantic reason becomes a delicate challenge.
