The matter between sculpture and painting becomes the undisputed protagonist of the exhibition source necessary for the artist to express different concept. Matter as Mother from which to extract and work various art forms.
Today we see the birth of some “contaminations”: the purely conceptual works lose their original provocative strength as they become tautologies of themselves and the objects used are deprived of their original functions, taken out of context to be inserted in the artistic one. Matter itself, originally the undisputed protagonist of the creative act becomes a medium that allows the transmission of concepts and deep thoughts, thus taking back its primary function of communication.
Despite the fact that points of view on the function and meaning of any kind of expression of contemporary art may considerably vary, one is inevitably bound to acknowledge that the materials necessary for any composition to be born can themselves be objects and protagonists of the birth and following evolution of the works of art.
It could be considered as paradigm the fact that, as it is impossible to isolate the object of the representation from the matter that forms it in a neat and definitive way, with all the following stratifications and differentiations, the cultural and visual documents represented in the work itself cannot be considered as an essential part of the synthesis of values, symbolisms, norms of rendition and rituals of the true function of the object itself. This can come across as a flattening of the artistic practice, the acceptance of the limits and innate oppositions to the materials, but instead it leads to a new interpretation of the graphic codes and actualizes the dominant interpretation of the moment the code is transducted and causes the appreciation of the communication standards that was felt were more relevant contemporary to the production of the artistic event.
Works of Sebastian Burckhardt, Stefania Capobianco, Giuseppe De Michele, Laura Fortin, Stefan Ghitan, Leonardo Martellucci, Antonio Nepita, Tommaso Ochs, Walter Ochs, Raffaello Rovati, Roberto Tirabasso, Vincenzo Vavuso, Massimo Vidale
