Arte Tag: emarginazione
Alberto Barazzuti
My attention goes especially to themes that concern the individual and the identity in the current society of information and technology, hence to the economic and cultural processes that define the social dynamics, to processes of globalization and exclusion, to the invasivity of the multimedia world and to the pervasiveness of technology. I think it is important to develop a survival strategy starting from your own marginality; to decolonize your own imagination from those values that tend to homogenisation in order to formulate new hypothesis of participation.

ideadestroyingmuros
ideadestroyingmuros es un colectivo nacido en venecia en 2005. consideramos imprescindible posicionarnos políticamente en la creación artística. esta práctica ha hecho posible la elaboración de procesos geopolíticos y sociales que nos han atravesado, por medio de la interpretación y la traducción de nuestras experiencias singulares y colectivas.
la perspectiva que hemos compartido se basa en diferentes posiciones fronterizas en relación con los conceptos de nación, género, sexo, lengua y creación, con los cuales buscamos juntas nuevos modos de entender y de practicar resistencia, de realizar procesos creativos, recorridos auto-antropológicos y de autogestión. el auto-empoderamiento y la desgarradura de las relaciónes de poder que tejen lo cotidiano “ideal” nos ayudan a entender los mecanismos de mercado y refuerzan nuestra capacidad de negociación. gracias a esto, reencontramos una conciencia de nuestro valor, que no radica en la explotación y en la medida única del neoliberalismo, sino en la creación de nuevas formas.
Andrea Abbatangelo
Andrea Abbatangelo (°1981, Terni, Italy) makes sculptures and films. By applying a wide variety of contemporary strategies, Abbatangelo plays with the idea of the mortality of an artwork confronted with the power of a transitory appearance, which is, by being restricted in time, much more intense.
His sculptures are an investigation of concepts such as authenticity and objectivity by using an encyclopaedic approach and quasi-scientific precision and by referencing documentaries, ‘fact-fiction’ and popular scientific equivalents. By using an ever-growing archive of found documents to create autonomous artworks, he tries to increase the dynamic between audience and author by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations.
