Once a friend of mine said to me: “I don’t really like funny art”
We were arguing on Pino Pascali, the Italian artist working in the seventeen, mostly known for his sculptures. Not exactly Canova’s style. Something like “Walt Disney going mad”, I mean, whale tales sprouting from the floor, brush caterpillars, pregnant canvas, that sort of things.
I not agree with my friend (who wasn’t Clement Greenberg anyway).
For me, art have to be game. A quest sometime. Something that could catch your imagination.
It’s better if art don’t take herself to seriously. I mean, not even stupid. Just intriguing.
“Don’t look at the pictures” could be the subtitles of the Demian’s Gagosian exhibition.
The antefact is that the January 12, will be Damien’s shows in the Gagosian Gallery worldwide. “Twenty five years of Spot Paintings” it’s the official title, and seems to be very serious, even knowing the brat who Damien is.
No corpses, no putrefaction, no flies… it could be a relaxing exhibition.
Art Monthly Australia published my review of Gao Brothers performance in Piazza del Popolo, Rome with the title “Gao Brothers: The Utopia of Hugging for 20 Minutes”.
