“Pink romance” . Lara Favaretto.

It is a Pink confetti’s cube falling down, confetto after confetto.
Do you remember minimalism? Bob Morris essential strictness turned into a sort of geometric cake that starts collapsing, like an ordinary broken romance, represented while it begins to fade away … There is no sadness, no pain .

There is a metaphoric beauty and poetry, in Favaretto’s artwork, even in a sort of soft initial failure.

The beauty of the Ephemeral .

The conceptualist beauty of a giant cotton candy….

The seduction of colours, combination of colours and their powerful Aura to bring light and warm feelings in a room and a soul.

“Internationally recognized for her mastery of a textile vocabulary of extremely different scales—sculpture, tapestry, site specific commissions for public spaces, environments of recuperated clothing and uniforms, and more—Hicks has thoughtfully crafted miniatures throughout her nomadic career.”, from BGC Yale, Sheila Hicks.

Relaxing time in pink hammocks?

Blood in My Milk is ” the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in the US and brings together new multi-screen edits of four of Simnett’s most important works to date.

In Ben Eastham’s words : “Simnett’s work is ‘surrealist’ in the manner of Un Chien Andalou (1929), cutting abruptly between images to foster nightmarish associations.  Influenced in her early work by the body politics of feminism’s ‘second wave’ (she shows me sketchbooks filled with homages to Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger and Cindy Sherman), her work proposes that we situate the body at the centre of debates about society and the self which are increasingly preoccupied with immaterial networks and non-corporeal identities” (Frieze.com)

Marianna Simnett plays around the themes of the body and the Self via an enchanting   artwork: so feminine and  tender, but also anxious about themes such as Identity and Personality, via her filmic universe.
Brilliant, soft, strong.

CONNECTING IDEAS / don’t treat me like an object

Some Art inspires because it is a sort of bet : it changes our perception, it is a ‘knock’, an open door on different visions, different approach to art itself, life, identity, relationships.

Here some inspiring art from different artists, times and countries. In common, it has this powerful factor : think differentely.

Patricia Urquiola / Federico Pepe .

Don’t treat me like an object , the object (chair )says .

In the relationship with a seated human being, the object has a sort of ‘soul’ .
It is a game, conceptual art mixed to pure Pop !

It reminds to Pier Paolo Calzolari artworks, his dreamlike chairs, waiting for a visitor and his/her gaze, a glance between the object and the human being  that can evocate whatever you want to dream about  : waiting, nostalgy, absence, presence. Feelings, to cut a long story short.

Here, the object has a poetic witty soul, and invite to …love ? pity? sensitive approach ? But whatever it is, it is about the idea of ‘feeling art’ again, via the light of neon, thinking about the master,  Bruce Naumann.

CONNECTING IDEAS /after Pistoletto

Some Art inspires because it is a sort of bet : it changes our perception, it is a ‘knock’, an open door on different visions, different approach to art itself, life, identity, relationships.

Here some inspiring art from different artists, times and countries. In common, it has this powerful factor : think differentely.

Michelangelo Pistoletto has chosen his rags, close to a classic Venus, to celebrate his Utopia of a new art outside the art system, made of poor materials and the dream of a new world.
Today, plastic materials for children creates a sort of contemporary giant Totem celebrating Colours.
From Arte Povera to new artists, the dream of freedom is still there .

The dream of a free world, where art can change perception and maybe give the urgence of changing.
