Wind Burn Marks On Baby

"Apocalyptic and Integrated", Maxx, Rome

24 artists born between '64 and '78 with works made between 1998 and 2007 make up the exhibition "Apocalyptic and Integrated", visible to Maxxi of Rome until July 1.
The title takes a text by Umberto Eco in 1964 and once again the state of post-industrial era, as determined by the collapse of all ideologies and utopias 60s.
scenario of artists is so dominated by the desolation and individualism as the natural choice at the end of the community. Not with resignation but with a constructive cynicism.
Everyone interprets this state of things, those who reject the new technologies of a global society, he who receives and usable. Each in its own way ...
From the top down works: PatrickTuttofuoco , Botto & Bruno , Andrea Salvino , Francesco De Grandi, Luisa Rabbia . More pictures of the exhibition on flickr .

Where Is The Pnr Number In Airport Ticket

Into me, out of me, Macro Rome

a former slaughterhouse in the Slaughterhouse Macro to Marco future. And to inaugurate an international exhibition with 120 artists that interpret the body into its parts "hidden". It is not a show for everyone, but space is usually very nice, well equipped library hours, the audience was mixed and the works trace the taboo of Western culture. Some works are a bit annoying for my taste, not so much blood as the idea that transmit pain. Others are outdated and slow (slow video experimental '60s), but shows the route taken in the last 30/40 years in terms of research on the topic of sex, violence, food and reproduction. A search that seemed more in the past and more morbid irony in this. Not all have spoken well, some claiming that it is useless.
