The new fever

No matter that they are private institutions (foundations in the first place) to pay the current to the new Italian art. So if the best results in recent months have made headlines Italian Fever with two shows in particular, the 21 artists x 21 st Century, curated by Francesco Bonami at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin and Italian Syndrome at Le Magasin in Grenoble.

In both there was the 2011 winner of the Premio Furla, Matteo Bergamo Rubbi thirty. We asked the temperature of this fever, he began with a sacral shyness and now a continuous path between delicacy, the rediscovery of the territory, the union of music, history, people. There are seasons in art? There are adventurous seasons.


Because the concept of a contemporary artist, still lives in fancazzismo côté? Because if you get lost in looking at things or ask questions is suspect. The prize also includes a Furla residence in Arizona, what comes to mind when you think of the desert? I have not even thought well, I'm still a bit 'upset! It is still important and necessary "residence" for an artist? I can say yes because I have already lived a (at the Palais de Tokyo, ed.) If it is done well you can discover the wonderful places (Sao Paulo, Brasilia, Corsica), super good to know people (Pedro Barateiro, Isa Griese, Iris Touliatou, Axel Strachnoy), making plans that do not expect (a radio) ..

. If it is done well it is not essential, but it helps a lot, if you hurt the other hand it might be time lost, I think. In recent months, the new Italian art has been noticed. Where it was before? In many cases the street, see the Indian in the garden (the show "without editors' created by the artists last year in Milan, ed) Tell us about the project Cherimus? Will it continue? Cherimus, a wonderful project in the villages of Sulcis-Iglesiente, artists, famous and not famous, who participate, are faced with a situation without the comfort of what they already know and think.

We must do it all again, get involved. Will continue to do so because it is beautiful. In your work back to the opera very often. And each time it becomes a choral event:'ll never give it up? Back enough because his legacy is mired everywhere tapping some aspects of the work touches the wires hidden in cinema, television, literature, music, journalism, culture high and low for that.

Another theme of your art is the past (for example, May 6, 1961) and heroes (cyclists) of those years, because this quote? It is not a real quote. I saw that newspaper (La Stampa, May 6th 1961 - Italy inaugurates Gronchi 61) and seemed to be speaking from another planet and had something alien, to ghostly.

I thought: what if the newspaper one morning I found myself in a bar? And if that morning was in all the bars? Come to a group that is emerging in recent years more and more. Why did you find us? It was time? At one point we were all together, one late afternoon in November 2004, in a very strange place: a former factory on the island.

We started a bit 'all there, because there was nothing else. It was the Stecca, and that was an eventful season.
