LipanjePuntin Artecontemporanea, exclusive
in Italy, has pleasure in presenting The Wedding Party: large scale
photographs by David Byrne and dressed objects sculptures by Adelle
Lutz & David Byrne.
With The Wedding Party, David Byrne
once again returns to a concept which is fundamental to his artistic
career: the search for a way to connect objects and things that
have nothing to do with each other, raising them to a higer level
and opening up, thereby, a new view of the world.
Linking them in a consciously surrealistic
game based on the use of mannequins and recovered objects, in The
Wedding Party David Byrne & Adelle Lutz bizzarely dresses up objects
in daily use (a table in trousers, cutlery in overcoats, an old
radio in a bikini....) and stages them as an imaginary wedding group
(bride and groom, mother, father, mother-in-law, uncle....etc.).
There derive from these mysterious
and disquieting personifications sculptures that come to life the
moment they are staged simultaneously with the brightly-coloured
photographs taken of them, inviting the beholder to enter their
magical, irrational world.
Gallery opening hours: 11 - 19.30,
or by appointment.
Closed Mondays and public holidays.
