Gillian Wearing - Family Monument |
|
|
|
TRENT, ITALY.- Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea di Trento presents Gillian Wearing - Family Monument, special project, curated by Fabio Cavallucci and Cristina Natalicchio. Which are the characteristics of our contemporary family? How many members does it have? How do they live? What are they longing for and how are they planning their future? And most of all, how can art, always ready to get in touch with the most debated aspects of our societys evolution enter now in a relationship with such a varied and variegated entity? Here is the theme faced by the British artist Gillian Wearing who through June 10, 2007, at the Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea of Trento, dedicates with her first one-woman show at an Italian public institution, a specific and unpublished project to this secular institution, Family Monument.
The work in progress will involve for several months the exhibiting space of the gallery and our territorial reality. It aims to choose the Trentino family to whom a monument will be dedicated. It will be developed through a series of suggested candidacies through the regional press by exploiting, for the selection, also television video-documents.
It will not focus on revisiting of the usual reality show formula, but it will be an actual artwork, a research project by which the articulated variety of contemporary families is observed and valued, both in its demographic components and in the dynamics of interpersonal relationships, to look for and finally elect the typical family of our time.
