Attenzione tubo Gas

Play Ten of surprises and fifty meters of gas pipe to be replaced by 2014, the last installation of Michele Spina, visible, on 22 and 23 August 2009 , in the former theater Salesian Buonalbergo . Breaks , in fact, loudly , with exhibitions of paintings of houses and landscapes, or with displays of old objects of the rural world , which constitute the most trivial and most of false value to the Sunni center , and plunges into the bowels of this . A yellow ribbon, lying around 4 pillars, warns of danger : Caution gas pipe . Inside the fence a tube , connected to a cylinder and terminating with a tap, seems to finish the threat . The feeling is that of a construction site, very likely , but if you look closely , you will notice the tube modeled ironically , in order to form the word gas . On the wall , which is the background , a painted canvas , divided into several compartments , is the red circle with the ban on smoking , the black triangle with the reporting of combustible materials, and the red circle with the prohibition to approach. The risks are only announced by the alleged cartel , destined to run out at the very moment of their proclamation . The installation covers the stage, where another canvas presents a series of three cylinders : the first half-painted and orange , the second integer and always orange , the last full color and blue. Before the framework , through a mutual recall , three cylinders are aligned true, that , in assurte protagonists of messainscena , seem to be awaiting the homage of the public. With his work , Michele Spina acts on the border between reality and its representation , not surprisingly staged in a theater , a place of another reality , does not take sides but mixes , together with a naive smile and mocking , plans . Claims for himself the need to unmask the illusine of artistic urges the viewer to leave the state of contemplation and wonder , beyond the appearance , on the ultimate meaning of things. Once past the initial surprise, takes over the pleasure of the intellect, projected in a world that is justified by the aesthetic phenomenon . Maurizio Cimino
