Egocracy

CON-TEMPORARY Art Observatorium presents “Egocracy”, a group exhibition curated by Abramo Tepes Montini that analyses with critic temper the meanderings of egocentricity, of self-referentialism and presentialism which permeate, rule and characterise the contemporary society of semblance. The argumentation reflected in the selected artworks touches on several points: from the elitist mind to the sense of possession, from pragmatism to mass control, from abuse to the redemption in virtuality.

“We often talk about power as if it was something abstract, something that develops for elective affinities or for other unavoidable and undetermined reasons. But still power is something wanted and pursued by persons, by individuals, it is the expression of their hunger for privileges.”
