RASSEGNA MIART 2019

foglio sheet 4/5 A 03/04/2019 web web Balla with Maggiore G.A.M., Bologna, Paris and Milan, really embrace the modern and contemporary juxtaposition, while others, such as Lulu presenting Michael Berryhill + The Sunday Painter presenting Kate Newby, look more at the connections and friction between very different practices. EB: Which were the criteria you choose to pick the eight couples of dialoguing artists? CS: If there was any specific criteria beyond a will to present a heterogeneity of practices, it was a focus upon and mindfulness of the fact that this is an Italian art fair. Thanks to the influential involvement of Alessandro, many Italian positions were included in the process and final selection. For example, when I brought up the possibility of Matt Connors, Alessandro proposed a pairing with Piero Dorazio, with which Matt was thoroughly delighted. EB: The difference between the kinds of research of artists coming from different generations is not always clear, and, on the contrary, it’s often possible to feel a certain harmony of languages rather than generational gaps. Talking about the eight selected artists couples, could you tell me more about the discussion between some artists we will find in the fair? CS: Well, for the most part the section abides by its modus operandi of the generational gap, but generally speaking, the juxtapositions were created less by virtue of their similarities than their potential to generate potentially new readings of the work. xMorgan Fisher, Kodak Plus-X 120 March 1950, 2011 Archivalpigment print 41 × 51 × 0 cm Courtesy of the artist and Bortolami, New York — 4 / 5 ATPDIARY.COM Data Pagina Foglio 03-04-2019 089504 Miart
