ITALIAN AIRS
28 October / 10 November 2019
In the evocative Istanbul two collective exhibitions take place. With the catalogue, they promote over sixty contemporary artists who confront themselves between painting, sculpture and graphics, all displayed in the catalogue, in a great variety of artistic influences. From 28 October to 1 November the works are hosted at the Asmalımescit Sanat Galerisi, while from 2 to 10 November the exhibition moves to the Tüyap Sanat Fuari – Art Fair, an important international contemporary art exhibition. Critical text by Boris Brollo, on the front and back cover two works by Claudia Raza.
"The intensity, the gaze, intimate on the object, are lost at the expense of an illusory possibility of remixing the “object-work of art”, be it a painting, a sculpture, or other. The positive result of this lowering to a common denominator art, despite the fact that the market insists on creating some more expensive than others, over time it resolves the 'irrelevance' of all the so-called 'minor' artists, who are saved by this principle. That comes in handy a quote by Alessandro Manzoni: 'To posterity the arduous sentence'."
