Up In the Air


sintesi del comunicato stampa

Up In the Air. Tom Friedman works on the humdrum, the daily round, the small, the insignificant: packets of cornflakes, chewing gum, soap, pencils, sugar, all are among his basicmaterials. Nothing particularly outstanding. Everything is within reach. Consumables consumed that we come upon every day, and even use. The difference lies in what he does with it all. Tom Friedman is a direct descendant of Kosuth, Bochner, LeWitt, Beuys and Cage: he merrily mixes the intelligence of Fluxus with the power of Conceptual art. He creates an art where ideas hold sway over realization, while remaining capable of producing pieces with great evocative force, where aesthetics still believe in poetry. Tom Friedman reinvents life, quite simply. (Benjamin Bianciotto). He will be presenting works based on the representation of a monstrous figure including \Green Demon (2008), a terrifying sci-fi character whom we can regard as the very figure of Life Force. Its many eyes attest to the capacity of someone with supra-sensitive vision, which is what Casanova claimed to have, through his "genie" Paralis, who helped him to know the thoughts ... of his victims! The exhibition proposed as part of the contemporary art festival Casanova Forever.
