Solo exhibition of Coco Gordon
"Art, nature and ecological sensitivity"
Research between nature and ecological sensitivity
curated by Sandro Bongiani
"I empower myself to make visible deep cultural inquiries, impact thought / behavioral ethics, carry out visionary eco-Permaculture structure and systems design, integrate mind / body / spirit / etheric energy, and synthesize SuperSkyWoman's ability to see objectively from the beginnings of the earth's timeline ". Coco Gordon / SuperSkyWoman
On the occasion of AMACI 18a Giornata del Contemporaneo 2022 the solo exhibition by Coco Gordon entitled "Art, nature and ecological sensitivity" by Sandro Bongiani is presented in Salerno with several unpublished works from the Coco Gordon Archive of Colorado (USA) .
Coco Gordon / SuperSkyWoman of Italian origins, is one of the most significant American "intermediate" artists. You have roots in the "Fluxus" movement. At the center of her many works lies the intention to create awareness of the ecological and social problems of our world. In addition to the research of performance and Exploding Books, cut and open, in recent years she has dedicated herself to working with a certain diligence even in digital, producing particular visionary works. At the center of her many works is always the intention to create awareness of the ecological and social problems of our planet. With the practice of performance, and digital dream research, the artist demonstrates his close proximity to natural processes and expresses the desire to create a radical change from consumerism and the daily economy of exploitation so that making art and practicing in nature are two compatible activities, which linked together, can work to modify collective awareness and rediscover a common primary experience linked to our creation.
The common thread that binds the works featured in this solo show is precisely the theme of the environmental challenge, a global urgency under the sign of sensitivity and sustainability. A research, carried out for a long time with works, environmental interventions and performances up to the recent works of landscapes and split and hybrid visions of beings born from unusual metamorphoses suggested by a visionary tension that conditions and suddenly transforms the visible into a dark essence.
The American artist has always investigated the dark interweaving between thought and memory, between vision and contradiction of existence in a momentary granting of the image and then immediately denying it and relegating it to the margins of the visible. A precarious condition in which the investigation turns into suspension and uncertainty, in which anything can always happen. It is certainly a continuous and unusual proceeding to investigate the hidden part of the visible in which relationships and fragments of meaning that can be defined "in the form" of an image emerge.
