The ARTEFIERA Bologna was the first art fair in Italy and celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. We are very excited to participate again this year together with the brilliant concept artist Giovanni Morbin!
Ozionismo – speaking with hands
Explore the profound realm of Giovanni Morbin’s artistry in “Ozionismo – Speaking with Hands”, an intellectually charged exhibition at the esteemed Bologna art fair. A distinguished Italian conceptual and performance artist, Morbin meticulously unravels the intricate language of hands, revealing them as conduits for a nuanced dialogue between idleness and creative expression.
Read moreCentral to Morbin’s exploration is the series “Ozionismo, manifesto orizzontale“, a contemplative journey into the paradoxes of artistic retirement. Can one truly detach from their creative essence, or is artistic identity an indelible part of the self, persisting even in moments of perceived inactivity?
The exhibition, hosted at Galerie Michaela Stock’s fair booth, emphasizes the prevalence of hands in Morbin’s performance art, conveyed through mediums such as video, photography, drawings, and sculpture. This comprehensive presentation underscores hands not just as tools of expression but as vessels that communicate, sense, measure, and engage with the material world.
At the heart of the showcase is a captivating photograph capturing the essence of idleness, accompanied by “Useful Devices for Idleness,” a collection of meticulously crafted tools. These objects, endowed with symbolic significance by Morbin, invite the audience to question conventional interpretations of inactivity and contemplate the profound meanings embedded in moments of repose.
“Ozionismo – Speaking with Hands” is a cerebral exploration into the complexities of human connection. Morbin’s art beckons viewers to engage with the underlying intellectual beauty that unfolds when hands become not just instruments of expression, but vessels of shared human experience. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this extraordinary intellectual journey at the Bologna art fair, where Morbin’s exploration transcends the visual, delving into the philosophical intersections of idleness and artistic expression.
