Galleria DAVICO, 12-09-2008, Torino - Italia

• Dal 12 Settembre all'11 Ottobre 2008 si terrà la mia prima esposizione personale alla Galleria Davico di Torino.
Presenterò 37 nuovi dipinti eseguiti tra il 2007 ed il 2008.

In catalogo un racconto dai retrogusti noir di Ferdinando Albertazzi, “Lo specchio di carta”, a sottolineare la dimensione dell’enigma, e dei rimandi da un quadro a un altro, e un mio testo di auto-presentazione:

Piegazione
Per chi già conosce la mia pittura e per chi per la prima volta la vede cercherò di spiegare o meglio di dare la mia interpretazione del punto a cui sono arrivato.

• My first solo exhibition at Galleria Davico will be held from September 12 to October 11 2008 in Torino, Italy.
I will show 37 new paintings realised between 2007 and 2008.

In the catalogue you will find a short story with a noir atmosphere by Ferdinando Albertazzi: The Mirror of Paper, that underlines the dimension of the enigma and of the cross-references from one picture to another, as well as an introduction written by me:

Bending*
For those who already know my painting and for those who see it for the first time I will attempt to explain or, rather, I will try to give my interpretation of the point I have reached.

The Kitsch Biennale 2008 - Münich, Germany

The Kitsch Biennale 2008

The Kitsch Biennale will be held in Pasinger Fabrik, which is a culture house directed by the city of Münich. Several exhibitions of figurative painting have been held on the premises, and there is a gallery space of more than 540 square meters (4843 square feet). Pasing is a part of Munich, about 10 minutes with a train from Marienplatz in center city. Pasinger Fabrik is an early 20th century building, and in addition to 540 square meters of exhibition space there is a separate restaurant, a bar, and a small theater where WWK will present theatre plays. Please see Pasinger Fabrik for pictures and more information about the venue (information only in German).

The Kitsch Biennale was originally an annual event, however, WorldWideKitsch has decided to turn the Kitsch Annual into a biennale exhibition. The Kitsch Annual 2006 (in Norway) created so much attention, nationally and internationally, that we decided to launch the event on a bigger scale. A larger scope and ambition demands more time and space, and we therefore decided that a biennale was the more appropriate format. We are thrilled to present the Kitsch Biennale 2008 at the Pasinger Fabrik, in Münich, Gemany!
