Seven new exhibitions

Pori Art Museum, Pori

FELICE VARINI

Felice Varini makes geometric works for indoor and outdoor spaces, which are placed in a specific perspective. He paints on the surfaces of spaces, like for example on walls, constructions and windows. The painted surfaces that are situated on different levels form an illusory image that can be seen from a specific angle of observation. Seen from other angles of observation, you can see only fragments of different sizes, and metamorphoses of geometric forms. The light in the space creates movement and the change that you can observe in the work.

It’s the Political Economy, Stupid brings together a group of superlative artists who focus on the current crisis in a sustained and critical manner. Rather than acquiesce to our current calamity this exhibition asks if it is not time to push back against the disciplinary dictates of the capitalist logic and, as if by some artistic sorcery, launch a rescue of the very notion of the social itself.

Additional program has been scheduled, on the occasion of the exhibition:
