Why not to settle - migrate? On display is an installation curated by Alessandro Martinelli about Hans Ulrich Obrist and the edges of curatorial practice.
Saturday 27th June in Locarno, from 5pm till 10pm, APPPART has the pleasure to present ''Why not to settle - migrate?'', an installation curated by Alessandro Martinelli about Hans Ulrich Obrist and the edges of curatorial practice.
The changing-form artistic project APPPART, created by the architect Samia Henni and the artist Pascal Schwaighofer, tries to give a breathing space to what APPPART has been during 2009 through the contribution of Alessandro Martinelli. The intention is to let the public to reflect about curatorial attitude, and to give an end to “Diachronic Group Exhibition” (7th February – 23rd June 2009, Locarno, Switzerland), which has exposed various artists over distinct periods. Trying to remove all kinds of unilateral visions and destabilizing all types of expectations, in this series each invited artist had to summon the next artist according to his or her personal artistic convictions.
In this destabilized context, while investigating the possible coexistence of the desire for curating and the need to migrate, ''Why not to settle - migrate?'' materializes into the APPPART space a tiny atlas about Hans Ulrich Obrist, which work has paradoxically destabilized the notion of curatorial practice in the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st.
