Pierre Poggi – rubbish heap
curated by Marta Casati
opening 20 january 2007 ore 18.00
21 january – 5 april 2007
Rubbish Heap recalls the act of overflowing, rubbish collection, recycling.
Painting is the focal point of the newest research by Pierre Poggi. However, the artist didn’t create the works painting by himself. Canvas and pictures of anonymous dabblers were bought or taken from dumps and put together in order to give them a brand new form and an unexpected contemporary language.
Connecting the Great Masters of the past history of art with these forgotten, questionable-talented, artist, every possible measure of judgement is cancelled: landscape, the common element for all the pictures, has the possibility to emerge without any evaluating or technical filter.
In-between these hesitant efforts of mannerism, baroque, rococo, still life and funny subjects, we can find empty canvas left unpacked as a metaphor of a dogmatic “packed-consumerismâ€, nowadays involved in the same way in commerce as in contemporary art. The sense of accuse for an over saturated and conventional mechanised system, afraid to test new ways not yet explored, is brainy, refined, never superficial or emptily provocative.
Pierre Poggi give to his “assembled-work-of-art†a universal language destined not only to those who’s directly involved in art, but also to a wider –and maybe more attentive- public.
Pierre Poggi was born in 1954 in Mont de Marsan (France). He lives and works in Milano. He organised many exhibitions both personal and collective in several public locations in Italy as “Artoteca†in Milan and the Borromeo’s castle in Corneliano Bertario. In the past he has a collaboration with Toselli Gallery in Milan. In 2006 he showed a personal exhibition in Federico Bianchi Contemporary Art, concerning the world of football as a way to analyse the social topics of society.
