The exhibition hall of the Byzantine Wall opens its doors to the work of two artists Turin Gianfranco Botto (1963) and Roberta Bruno (1966).
The sample Suburbs, introduces the viewer into the streets and hidden corners of cities across five sets of images, overlays, and direct messages,
involved in a broad sense of poetry.
The exhibition is presented in collage form to collect the creative process that requires manual work of art as the artists themselves have explained during the presentation of the exhibition, the gallery accompanied by Arauna Oliva, an architect of the sample, and the coordinator La Mar de Arte Jose Luis Cegarra.
Part of the exhibition focuses on the images picked up by magazines and posters on city streets, creating a sort of imaginary teenager living in this space, the artists explained.
Venice, and an urban space that no longer exists, is another series that is dedicated to the exhibition, an imaginary different semideruidos buildings and, in contrast, the vision of a young man listening to music, calling to stop this landscape.
Alongside the images are readable text that are brief references to the book La Strada (road), McCarthy.
This can be seen in the exhibition hall of the Byzantine walls, until 31 August, Tuesday through Saturday mornings and afternoons.
ARTISTS
Botto and Bruno comes from a long career in the art world, working together since 1992, when they were students of the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin.
On this imagery made photomontages, the photocopy, the enlarged scale 1 / 1 on paper or PVC, and organize them facilities that occupy the space full of art galleries or halls of the Renaissance and Baroque palaces that sometimes the show.
The viewer feels weird, literally put these sets of marginalization-equipped with a prop of misery-outdoor scenarios introduced in areas of 'high culture'.
All this, accompanied by sound: a predilection for songs or punk rock group.
In 2004 he was the first time Botto & Bruno held in Spain one of the large rooms that have marked his meteoric rise after her appearance at the Venice Biennale in 2001 with a transformation of the entrance to the exhibition space of Corderie.
Presented recently in Spain, in 2007 the Gallery Arauna Olivia.
THE WORK
The sample amazed by the uniqueness of these places, which today are known as excluded from the metropolitan center and the periphery of the province.
Sites are characterized by the peculiarity of its architecture (factories and schools closed, buildings in ruins, abandoned level crossings), as well as the erratic condition of his figures (teens masked characters in the suburbs, including in this case the artists) and the promptings of your space thick (atmosphere of uprooting, ambiguous boundaries between built and open space) and the sky (red and violet colored clouds stormy, or in other cases, a dirty white ensabanados).
The shadow of the suburbs of Pasolini and Antonioni characters airtight plan on these facilities, which also returns to encourage the spirit of art 'poor', a trend that originated in Italy with the support of the critic Germano Celant conceptual and consecrated urbi et orbi the exhibition dedicated to him precisely the Civic Museum of Turin in 1971.
They also agree, then, Botto & Bruno at the purpose of giving public voice to the voiceless, and to postulate 'an art which, in essence, is anti-business, poor, trivial, and anti-formalist, involved primarily with the physical qualities of the medium with mutalibilidad materials and total reality ', which interpreted its own form to the hard-a privately-without dodging the hard physical reason, to sublimate the intensity of poetry.
Art that testifies to the pain of our world, centered in the city.
