Thomas Braida | Valerio Nicolai, LO SBOCCO ROMANTICO

7 Feb - 30 Mar 2013
con un testo di Andrea Bruciati
opening 7 Feb ore 6,30

Furini Arte Contemporanea è lieta di presentare la bi-personale di Thomas Braida (Gorizia, 1982) e Valerio Nicolai (Gorizia, 1988) LO SBOCCO ROMANTICO, una combinazione di lavori nata rielaborando alcuni spunti derivati dalla lettura di Frankenstein di Mary Shelley.

Il progetto, divergendo dalla struttura consueta della doppia collettiva, porta all’evidenza una secrezione poetica comune. L’opera, infatti, si forma come un oggetto a quattro mani in cui le parti si congiungono secondo un ordine visionario, avvicendando piccole sculture, oggetti, dipinti e disegni su carta come le pagine di un libro, come un diario segreto esploso e fattosi visibile sotto altre sembianze.

I due pittori, tra frammenti, sovrapposizioni e slanci lirici, affrontano la narrazione di una nostalgia romantica, il recupero di un intimismo onirico, ponendosi quindi nel punto di raccordo tra insieme e unicità.

Andrea Bianconi at Arte Institute, NYC

PRESS RELEASE

ARTE INSTITUTE
ANDREA BIANCONI
September 21st, 2012
Union Square Park, NYC, 8 pm. Free and open to the public.

Andrea Bianconi creates ROMANCE, an artist book and video that illustrate a segment of his stream of consciousness. In his book, each page incorporates several images revealing a representation of his thoughts as they appear in the mind. The text is traversed by an unreachable flow of meaning.

There is a continuous relationship between each word, thus each image is connected to the next. His work has no beginning or end, but rather

a circular narrative indicating a discourse-course that is crossed by endless chain of association, void, surplus, lapsus. Bianconi transforms his book into a video alluding to Italo Calvino’s ‘mental cinema’, believing images are always being projected in our minds as part of the imagina- tive process of reading.
ROMANCE is a blend of construction and deconstruction, of closing and opening, of intimacy and extroversion -- an endless chain of associa- tions.

ROMANCE is published by cura.books, and the video produced while at Residency Unlimited, NYC.
ROMANCE is also a performance, according to his last performance “Trap for the Mind”, the artist wears masks in front of a mirror, which become literal facets, slowly and simultaneously divulging and consuming.

TITLE performance : Trap for the Mind
The artist wears paper cut masks in front of the mirror ,one mask on top of the other, which become literal faces, slowly and simultaneously divulging and consuming. The Masks are referencing the convictions in which we take refuge and the prejudices behind which we hide.
The process of putting masks one after another become a comment on construction and deconstruction, closing and opening, intimacy and extro- version.

Summer Nights Series 2012 is made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and thanks to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, which kindly made Union Square Park’s North Pavilion available for these events.
Special Thanks go to Residency Unlimited, a partnering organization where Andrea Bianconi is currently an artist in residence, and finally to SEA which generously has supported the artist’s work.
