Brigataes
Il più grande artista del mondo; installation at MANN (2015)
In this exhibition Brigataes offers to public viewing for the first time anthropological finds and excavation materials from an alleged discovery, which took place in the 1930s at the acropolis of Cuma, which would document the existence of an artist of gigantic proportions who lived forty thousand years ago. The installation leads the user adrift in the shifting of temporal, spatial and evaluative planes. It offers reflections on scientific paradigms and protocols, on the true/false dialectic, on the quantity/quality ratio, on the mechanisms of the attribution of value operated by the museum institution. It all provides extra memory.
