    IDEM Studio – Pastiche

    Works

    Ruggero Baragliu – pastiche # – n. 35 pieces; mdf, acrylic color, two-component resin, dimensions: max 22x12x7 cm, min 4x2x2 cm, 2020.

    The last project by Idem Studio, Pastiche, stems from and within a party game, as well as a play of exchanges and contaminations. It stands as anironical and mocking homage to social mores, as well as to the dominant market laws of the art world.

    The artworks of the Turin-based trio offer themselves to the eyes, with an overtly blatant attitude: they are like precious cameos, resembling eatable candies, alluring and seductive, and lonely like solitaire diamonds.

    In search of complicity and submissive consensus, gaudy yet ambiguous, such artworks hunt for a new home and master. They eventually offer the one and only commodity being produced and put up for sale, yet that no nobody can ever really buy: imagination.

    Elio Ticca (Nuoro, 1988) lives and works in Brussels.

    Graduated at IUAV University of Venice and at University of Leeds, in the UK, the artist explores the relationships between historical and contemporary artistic languages. By referencing preliminary sources, his pieces are meant to be unpredictable, sometimes ironical visual dialogues. His work also reinterprets conceptual milestones such as authorship and autography, through a meditated process of camouflage and invention. The red thread of his work is the study on the representation of emotional states, mixing art-historical sources with contemporary artistic languages.

    “Looking at Linda Schrank’s paintings is a complex visual experience. In this exhibition, she presents both paintings and collages where she works with oil, acrylic, inks and other drawing materials to create lightness, a floating world, breathing made visible. Material and gestural, emotional and analytical, her painting emerges from diverse, sometimes opposing,origins. What Schrank is searching for is to engage and expand the viewer’s perception over time. On first encounter, her paintings are a conversation among materials, but after spending time with them, they express the balance and tension between coming together and falling apart.”

    Pietruccia Bassu – Only decorative use

    May 8-24, 2019

    Technical sheet

    Installation room size: 3 vertical sheets metal cm210x75, grain for sowing, broken dishes, 312 tulle party favors with confetti, video.


    The artistic production of Pietruccia Bassu renews the sense of belonging to a tradition, to a story, developing projects on the sense of continuity and re-appropriation of memory.
    The basic idea is to find in the practices and languages of the contemporary the possibility of handing down gestures, techniques, details that are to the tradition of the Sardinia and one of his family in particular.

    The artist from Sassari belongs to a current that sees in contemporary art the possibility of preserving anthropological data, customs, memories of past generations, exploiting art as an archive, deposit of traces. She use different expressive tendencies, from video to installation, making use of objects with a high symbolic content which in their works take on new aesthetic and conceptual modalities. She has made several personal and collective exhibitions.

    Pietruccia Bassu was born in Sassari (1969) and trained at the Academy of Fine Arts of her city.
