curated by Federico Mazzonelli
For the exhibition Figure ipotetiche (Hypothetical Figures), the artists were invited to work within a series of stores in thehistoric city centre, and create an itinerary which, while centred in the headquarters of the UpLoad Art Project (a platform for contemporary art), branches out in the city with interventions of various kinds.
The works presented, from photographs to video to site-specifi c projects, have been conceived as “figures”, “hypotheses”, “openings” that are situated, ambiguous and unexpected, in the spaces of daily life, in places normally used for work, exchange and commerce. The works mainly develop along two thematic/design lines. The first deals with sound and audio-visual experimentation (Michele Spanghero, Valentina Miorandi, Jacopo Mazzonelli), intended to create a relationship with the public on a physical and emotional level, as though “distracting/abstracting” passers-by from the place where they are.
The second (Collettivo Raudì, Uleia Lolta, Veronica Bellei, Andrea Pregl) takes as a central element an indirect analysis of or an ironic or metaphorical look at some aspects of the economic dynamics that are created in real time in the stores where the artists have been invited to work. While the sound works are integrated in the public spaces as “islands”, small portions of the space aimed at created a “place within a place” in which the spectator/user has an experience that is as ephemeral, brief and transitory as it is effective and profound from the point of view of poetry and imagination, the other works are characterised by their procedural nature. The work becomes part of the “body” of the city not only and not so much as an object but rather as an image, sign, project which, interacting with the daily dynamics of the spaces chosen, comes to redefi ne it, opening new “hypotheses” for our cognitive or behavioural approach with respect to the socioeconomic context in which we live.
