Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce a new video installation by acclaimed Italian artist Massimo Bartolini. Bartolini's practice embraces various materials and techniques, from sculpture and performance to photography and video. These often sensual artworks induce in the viewer a meditative state that is still highly experiential, making us reflect on the relativity of what is solid and what is fluid. This installation consists of eight rotating video projections which traverse the gallery walls. The hazy images were shot in very diverse locations from Beijing to Birmingham, New Jersey to Cologne. They depict incidents which though common-place are somehow intriguing; moths attracted to a lamp, a piano tuner, a tumble dryer ... small miracles which occur unnoticed by most of us yet which come together to create the harmony and continuity of the everyday. Massimo Bartolini has recently had solo exhibitions MAXXI Rome, at Museu Serralves, Porto and Ikon Gallery, Birmingham. Other solo exhibitions at GAM Turin Magazzini d'arte Moderna, Rome, Galleria Massimo de Carlo and the St�dtisches Museum Abteiberg M�nchengladbach, Germany. He was included in MANIFESTA 2002, in Frankfurt. Other recent group exhibitions include The Moderns, Castello di Rivoli, Rivoli, Italy, 2006 Shanghai Biennale, 2004 S�o Paulo Biennial, and Das Lebendige Museum, Museum f�r Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt. |
