V.A.T.
Prize calls, Italy, Siena, 01 July 2013
Work partecipant to PremioCeleste2013 realized in collaboration with Angelo Frabasile.

V.A.T. The ever discussed acronym known as "Value Added Tax" as, in this case, a new meaning: "VALUE ARTISTIC TAX".

The artist creates an art work, and "requires" a certain "sale value" subjective. The spear on the market and the art market, due to systematic and articulated socio-economic contingencies, which redefines the "price", and automatically imposes to the artist a PRICE. A QUOTE. Thus, the artist create not only more for pleasure but also to acquire an "artistic value." Value that allows an art work to become THE ART WORK, as if without the inevitable TAX bill would remain only an artistic creation (almost an end in itself, and not projectable in the art market).
For some decades now all this ceremonial baptismal seems inevitably having to go through new channels, which are not only the Art Gallery with critics, art dealers, and enthusiastic collectors who invest, but a media channel and more immediate: INTERNET.
Call for artist, accessions to them, selections, events, occurring on all/to/via the Internet. All you need is a computer with related connection to the web and the door to the Contemporary Art is open. The work is just that: motherboards, graphics, Wi-Fi connected to each other both physically by wires, which chromatically; placed on a neutral table, which is the background to a hypothetical billing of the artistic product, with lots of V.A.T., that transforms the work into an aesthetic object, which, if it works, it would allow access to the art world. (The € 50 is the crisis of an Art now bought and sold "+ V.A.T." or "- V.A.T.").
A work qualitatively valid with a "Artistic Value," which is attributed to the "tax paid by''' (ie, the whole process) reaches a canonized value, but on the contrary, then inverse formula, for "some Art" can buy this value even if the work is questionable quality ("tax"). So what some Art makes questionable the yardstick. Deceiving and depriving the artist of true recognition of TALENT. ONLY evaluation criteria that should be taken into consideration for award to an artist due credit and grant him, in his work, the right "Artistic value" without too eagerly speculate on "payable Tax".
