SLIGHT AGITATION 3/4: GELITIN

The Milan venue of the Fondazione Prada will host a project by the Austrian collective Gelitin in the third instalment of "Slight Agitation", a four-part series of newly commissioned, site-specific works presented in the Cisterna.

Following Tobias Putrih's installation which engaged with ideas of play, politics and emancipation and Pamela Rosenkranz's intervention that offered visitors a multi-sensory immersion into a new perception of embodiment and collectivity, Gelitin's project titled POKALYPSEA-APOKALYPSE-OKALYPSEAP will include three large sculptures that explicitly address classical architectural archetypes (the triumphal arch, the obelisk and the amphitheater), subverting their rhetoric and monumental components.

The intervention is indicative of the Gelitin's artistic practice which, since the 90's, has experimented with the reinterpretation of totalitarian art and performance, developing a radical attitude towards institutions.
