are opened May 9 at 19:00 at the Museum of Pino Pascali Polignano a Mare (Bari) had two solo shows by Michele Giangrande and Joseph Theophilus.
The exhibition is curated by Rosalba track, text in the catalog by Charles Berardi and Angela Delli Santi
They are the authors of the famous 'scissors' to cut off the horizon of Polignano immortalized on postcards and tourist leaflets and that the City has duly purchased for Museum collection Pino Pascali.
Joseph Theophilus (b. 1981, lives and works in Polignano) and Michele Giangrande (born 1979, lives and works in Bari) present new works created especially for this exhibition, the two young artists linked to the idea of \u200b\u200bart practice 'doing', using multiple techniques simultaneously and work for 'cicli'proprio as Pascali.
The themes are those of a post-ideological, an art that reflects on their mechanisms and languages. Discarded human presence, and Giangrande Teofilo focus on the civilization of the object in the age of greatest crisis in consumption. Objects that are used to build other objects in a tricky game of artificial distortion of reality. So a typical wrought-iron balcony of the South becomes a mental cage, a place for conventions, hypocrisy, lack of communication (Theophilus), the yardstick for tailors Giangrande becomes a gauge of human footsteps, becoming carpet-floor, a portion of space that restricts and defines it, the motion refers to the braided main axes of the mandala, a typical representation of the universe that our eastern artist also creates ironic here and playing with materials. To Theophilus
the fishing boats and an enclosed space and defined, like a cradle, but is also an oversized spoon, spoon a boat hyper- leading food and abundance, wallet poetic dreams and hopes. Giangrande
Theophilus and create a world of appearances, images and likenesses in which the true reality disappears to give way to a vision illusory and deceptive, a world that speaks more of objects than men become incapable of distinguishing between true and false . For both personal and Teofilo Giangrande Museum Pino Pascali present significant opportunities, young but already fully integrated circuits in skilled art, to its credit has substantial holdings in Italy and abroad, are supported and followed by young curators dealers, collectors, and represent the spearhead of a new generation of artists Puglia aggressive and determined to make his way in challenging contemporary art system.
