Postcard from… billboard comes from a work done in 2008, Finally, a text about our love and life abilities. Three texts will be also displayed in the Pastificio Cerere Foundation: they are made in translucent material, attached to the lower walls of the show space as graffiti. Vincent Van Gogh Text (2004), is a meditation about the artist condition and the art system arbitrariness, a reflection about the illusion that success raises from mediocrity, but also about the artist assumption of doing something special and the audience’s way to look at art; Columbo Text (2009) a Peter Falk tribute as a sentimental confession of Columbo Tv series killer; Futurize (2011) is an unpublished site-specific work.
