Ring the bell and enter the houses of others. Please, no permit, no tickets. There is to see the unhappy wife crying help at the window on the top floor of Via Andrea del Sarto (4 / a) with the bottle of bleach on the bed and a suitcase that overflows regrets. In the rooms of a first floor apartment on Via del Castellaccio 3, sixteen works of artists in the exhibition: a stack of books in the regime of Ahmadinejad from which shoots out of lentils for a new (and green) spring, pictures of hands that come together in the bed of a wayfarer in the kitchen and a man of clay that scale the pantry, climbed over the sill and climbing down in the city escapes. As a Gozzoli to 32, second floor apartment with no elevator, there are the kitchen cupboards full of grass and an old recipe of fear to drive away the evil eye, in the bathroom, a mirror on which to run the words of a chat for lonely hearts .
It's called "Private Flat," is an exhibition of contemporary art that runs from today until Sunday in 14 spaces, case studies and made available (free) from individuals, professionals or students and turned into offices and art galleries. Away the dishes, tablecloths, tables, vases, things that are not needed: they open doors to artists and ideas, you try to do with culture. Paintings, photographs, videos, installations and even a performance of Metropopolare Theatre (directed by Livia Gionfrida).
is the brainchild of a group of university students of architecture who in 2006 tried to bring contemporary art into the containers of the life that we frequent every day, not in a museum, but in kitchens, lounges, bedrooms. "Private flat" (5th edition), has now become a great urban laboratory contamination, which attracts 60 experimental talents under 40 - Italian or otherwise - who read and interpret the theme of "courage" in key political, social, urban, intimate. For three days (from 16 to 21 today, tomorrow and Sunday from 10 to 19) you will see the work in 14 private spaces as places to set up exhibitions can be recognized by a plaque on the bell. Each address has the curators who chose the artists in person. All for free.
"SituAction is the main theme of this year, meaning 'action in the situation' - says Alessio Bertini, one of the organizers - is an invitation to discuss the need to get involved." Moreover, the fear of rusting anchors, wrote a great Argentine author: "We are still able to find the energy and above all the courage - Bertini calls - to question our positions? SituAction us back to the origins of the event: private use many small energies, without recourse to any form of public aid, wants to be a source of critical reflection. " If you do not slap a clear message: 'you can do. " "Private flat" was born with almost no budget and used to predict an ecological choice, "the exhibitions go on foot or by bike."
