SLIGHT AGITATION 3/4: GELITIN |
20 OCTOBER 2017 - 26 FEBRUARY 2018
FONDAZIONE PRADA | MILAN, ITALY |
|
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. |
