EX OFFICINE DUCROT, PAD. TRE NAVATE
The exhibition, curated by Miliza Rodic and Prof. Pasquale Lettieri, will be hosted in the rooms of the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa | Ex Ducrot workshops | Pad. Tre Navate at Via Paolo Gili 4, from 8 June to 29 July.
The works on show at the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa depict a variety of 'Endless icons', such as 'Lizzy Vuitton' - a portrait of the Queen wearing garments from well-known luxury brands, 'Chapel' - a luxury perfume in a satirical key that compares brand worship in today's society with religious worship, and finally his famous 'Crotch Grab' figure - which embodies the artist's observations on advertising. All of Endless' works are layered with subtle intricacies and refer to the artist's social observations, while remaining sufficiently neutral on a surface level to allow the viewer to draw their own conclusions.
The provocative installation 'Mobile Chapel', once a recreational vehicle, has acquired a new metaphorical existence as a contemporary art sculpture. This mobile worship station refers to the instant accessibility humans need to achieve continuous consumption; the devices we carry with us allow us extremely convenient access to the on-demand goods we unwittingly adore.
