GREED, A New Fragrance by Francesco Vezzoli

"Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present GREED, A New Fragrance by Francesco Vezzoli, the artist's latest work that replicates the strategy and aesthetics of a commercial perfume launch.

Just as Marcel Duchamp created Belle Haleine: Eau de Voilette in 1921 using a Rigaud perfume bottle with an altered label, Francesco Vezzoli has created a signature perfume for the contemporary moment. Greed's label features Vezzoli in drag, photographed by Francesco Scavullo, where Duchamp appeared on his perfume bottle as Rrose S�lavy, photographed by Man Ray. The bottle of perfume is accompanied by a 60-second commercial for the perfume -- directed by Roman Polanski and starring Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams -- as well as a new series of needlework portraits of leading female figures in art history – including Tamara de Lempicka, Eva Hesse, Leonor Fini – as immortalized endorsements of Vezzoli's fragrance."

PREDRIVE: After Technology

PREDRIVE: After Technology
November 14, 2008 - April 5, 2009

PREDRIVE: After Technology is an exhibition that revels in the contradictions posed by digital art. Suspicious of any kind of technological sublime, PREDRIVE aims to expose contemporary art’s fetishization of new technologies – an impulse to give digital art a mystical authority. Under the conditions of technology—ideas of attention, memory, and consciousness have been thought to transform or extend themselves through mechanical, electronic or digital portals. In attempting to map out an aesthetic of the technological sublime, contemporary artists and critics alike, have been seduced by the economy of information that computer-generated art has produced. However, what this produces—at the level of the interface— is an underwhelming, less interesting version of modernist abstraction (from Mondrian to Diebenkorn).

RONALD THE BUTCHER BOY

Dopo il successo di pubblico e critica, il progetto RONALD THE BUTCHER BOY incontra la filosofia del nuovo spazio espositivo VOGHERA11 ARTGALLERY, nel quartiere più creativo di Milano.
Il progetto sarà proposto in una nuova veste e con la presenza di ulteriori artisti.

Per l'esposizione in VOGHERA11 ARTGALLERY Max Papeschi affronta e rielabora icone e simboli utilizzati dai poteri forti per mascherare ed edulcorare la loro spietata strategia per il controllo delle coscienze collettive.
Una poetica new-pop dai fortissimi contenuti sociali ma dal taglio sottile e ironico.
