Pari & Dispari opens the new exposition space in Berlin with GOI
New berlin project for the
Pari & Dispari project and the Fine Arts Unternehmen AG
On April 18th 2001, at Number 156, Linienstrasse, will see the inauguration
of the new exhibition space of the Pari & Dispari project, the first Italian
art gallery (Art direction: Rosanna Chiessi and Stefano Gualdi) to transfer
its offices and cultural project to the city of Berlin. The initiative,
undertaken in collaboration with Franco Marinotti and the Swiss company Fine
Arts Unternehmen AG, seeks to create a platform in the heart of the most
industrialized area in Europe, to discuss, view, and appreciate the most
innovative and interesting expressions of current art. The names Pari &
Dispari, which in Italy has been synonymous with contemporary art for the
last thirty years, and Fine Arts Unternehmen, equally well-known for its
vocation as a patron of the arts, have come together in Berlin in a new,
ambitious project for the benefit of young international art.

The italian art gallery Pari & Dispari project, opens the new exposition
space in Berlin with an artist's monograph book about GOI (Christian
Marinotti Edizioni). The volume is widely illustrated, with colour images
and reproductions of original works. It also contains the artist's interview
by Stefano Gualdi and his biographical profile. GOI, born in Büsum in 1965
but resident in Berlin, belongs to the category of artists who love to blend
together art and private life. His style is a sum of other styles, but
despite this, it is unmistakable from the very first glance. GOI draws,
designs, paints, photographs, performs, but above all, transforms everything
and everyone that enters his range of action into a constituent element of
his work. The GOI-Komplex, environmental sculptures  similar to black holes
 which can contain from a few dozen to thousands of images, are the most
complete and elaborate expression of GOI¹s work. They represent an
emblematic example of the total work of art and introduce new themes for
reflection. Among the peculiar characteristics of GOI is the fact that, in
the last ten years or so, he has developed a multiple artistic personality.
On the practical level, this means that the artist has created diverse
characters, one after the other, each endowed with his own particular look
and aesthetic idea: Zitronenmann (Lemon man), Schrumpfgoi (Shrinking Goi),
Bernd Hass (Bernd Hate), Pop-Eye the Egg-head and airman.
For the event of Berlin, produced by Fine Arts Unternehmen AG and curated by
Pari & Dipari project, GOI has realized a big installation, in which the
different elements of his world find their own place: bedroom, kitchen,
atelier, micro-club, together with a wide number of new works, among which
are drawings, paintings, pictures and objects.
