Che Guevara’s Watch
Before his death, Che Guevara exclaimed, “Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.” These words were intended to imply that his ideals would live on. The reality of what lived on after his death is slightly different, however. The collective imagination of mankind has turned Che into an icon encompassing a vast array of meanings. Some see him as a messiah; others view him as the devil. His image conjures the essence of communism for some and for others it translates into actual dollars from tee shirts sold. “Che Guevara’s Watch” examines these mythologies from the perspective of one moment: the moment of his death. Before it, he was a man. Continue reading »

All That Social Trash Goes Somewhere
Filippo Minelli forces the occasional viewer of his artworks, and the people fond of his artworks too, to an intellectual gym, stimulating scratching contrasts in our minds. Following conceptual tendences, Minelli pursues a non-objectual dimension of Arts searching relations between the work of art and reality, with culture and social behaviours as clear in his “contradictions” serie. In Minelli’s interventions is investigated the theme of Arts as writing with a resolute “interventist” urge which charges the artist’s action with social-disobedience, instigating the viewer against the superficial and the commercial and cultural deadness of contemporary society. Sometimes Minelli organizes his interventions in series which evolve during the years. A succesful example beside the already-said “contradiction” is the “Google” serie. Continue reading »
