Michele Guidarini: Art is dead
What Michele Guidarini has in his mind, as inspiring
vision, are the frescos by Giotto and Michelangelo, which
are the painters from his land which he knows better
and loves most. Together with graphic design,
commercials and memories. All this pops out in Michele’s
head, in a constant shifting process. So his images, at
birth, are already moving, and his sign moves over them.
The images in the background are treated and conceived
as a background, a scenery, and so strongly assaulted
head-on. Screaming and consumed close-ups, grafitis
that sign and recreate a new personal sacredness,
desecrating the original iconified one. There’s no
intention on reassuring the observer. Michele Guidarini
doesn’t draw for who’s watching. The artwork is his and
he feel free to kill it. This is Art Is Dead: crushing and
nemesis.
Rebirth of an imperfect and consumed iconography.
Artistic gesture creator of shapes desecrating an aritficial
sacrality, bringing historical images into the state of
being contemporary by virtue of his modern and
aggresive sign, as a daily tattoo.
Paola Verde: La Cité des enfants perdus
Paola Verde was born in Milan, Italy, in the same year
when punk was born and grew up among Joy division’s
and Bauhaus’s vinyls records and Dave McKean’s comic
books. Then industrial music was for her like the sound
of a crashed window in the silence of an abandoned
factory. The city-borders became the center of her
personal research, from street art to dismessed
industries, from underground culture to the
metamorphose of metropolis. Crossing urban peripheries
looking for details of the past, collecting pictures of
marginal spaces, explorating the borders of post human
passages and revisiting them in a surrealistic and
romantic key: Paola Verde’s visions represent the place
where urban decay and neverland are meeting. Her
personal Citè des enfants perdus.
