WOMEN WOMEN
advantage of the public holiday today, I accompanied my mother to see the exhibition WOMAN WOMEN ... Palazzo Strozzi (because you have now returned Florence).
misled by the title, I was convinced to spend some time in front of the beautiful paintings by Artemisia Gentileschi, Tamara de Lempicka and Frieda Kahlo, but when the entrance to the exhibition I heard a flight attendant to call a visitor not to walk on one of the works on display (a red and white checkered tablecloth - picnic style - with a hole in the middle, lying on the ground), I realized that I wrong!
In the first room were exposed to two gigantic female figures twins, mauve-colored, lean forward, showing their panties from behind violets, under a very small skirt.
In a glass case in the next room were enclosed in a small circle back, about 10 cm high, with a small brush buttocks pentagons blacks who wanted make them like footballs.
While visiting these wonders, spread through the halls of the exhibition of groans preorgasmici, which we later discovered to come from a video (another "work") that shows a woman kneeling on the ground, seen from behind, that scourged the bare back for the entire 12-minute clip.
Continuing we arrive to a room smelling of Marseille, the presence of another "Work" from the floor (.. once there was talk of frescoes and building works ... mah!) Entitled Raw RAPE: it was a stretch of 4 meters SUN soap brand, which alternated with others where the jaws was replaced by the words saliva, sweat, blood or urine.
was surrounded by the fragrant carpet guaches with obscene images, including the quietest showed a pelvic examination carried out with a telescope ... ...
Then suddenly a violent turning style, with a room completely covered with scarves, hanging from the domed ceiling and a series of stuffed animals, hanging from parachutes at different heights.
In all the exhibitions at the Palazzo Strozzi, when you think you've seen it all, check again that small room located next to the entrance of the first floor, which now houses a slide show, titled All By Myself , in which the artist had put a series of shots depicting the adolescence forty. And to better identify with the song when he says Do not want to be all by myself anymore, slides showed the first author undertook to tighten up the glans of her partner and then in intent a lesbian relationship.
The two most beautiful pictures of the show (I'm serious) were of acrylics on canvas, with application of beads, glitter, pins and elephant dung.
I find it somewhat unfair to the absence of any mention of the name and nationality of the elephant that has contributed, with an effort senz'atro higher than that of the artist, the creation of such a chef d'oeuvre : is a clear violation of the copyright of the animal!
During the Tuscan TG traces of the 14 I had to re-route of exposure from a service which said that some rooms of the exhibition (I'd like to know which ones!) Had been visited by a large class of children, according to a project aims to bring the children in contemporary art ... ..
If this is art!
