Agostino Iacurci Climbing in Rome for “Public and Confidential”

Agostino Iacurci Climbing in Rome for “Public and Confidential”

October 21, 2013

Agostino Iacurci really impressed with scale and humor in Atlanta for Living Walls this past summer and now he has taken his outsized geometric illustrated forms to Rome to participate Wunderkammern’s Public and Confidential series. Light hearted, sure-footed, and hand-controlled, his climbing figures invite you to help tell the story, to be pleased and bemused while contemplating the balanced ying/yang of their positions.

Whatever your reading of this composition is, it is precisely this kind of intimate experience one can have with  public work that the series intends to highlight. With a smart palette and love for a flatly dimensional scene, Iacurci places just the right amount of exactitude in his choices to let you know that as fun as this work looks, he’s not playing.

Special thanks to photographer Giorgio Coen Cagli for sharing these exclusive shots of Agostino at work with BSA readers.

Wunderkammern Presents: Invader “Roma 2010 And Other Curiosities” (Rome, Italy)

Roma 2010 and other curiosities

From 23rd October to 21st December, Wunderkammern exhibition space will host the first Italian solo show of Invader: “Roma 2010 and other curiosities”.

Invader is an artist working in anonymity. Born in 1969 in Paris, he is one of the most important and original international street artists and has exhibited in many prestigious galleries and museums across the world.

Invader is known above all for his public interventions inspired to the Arcade Game Space Invaders, created in 1978 in Japan. His operations are tied up to creative practices of “interference” through which he traces unique trails in the collective space, shaping new signs in the urban landscape. The naturally public formality of his interventions – suspended between visibility and anonymity and between real and virtual spaces – as well as the choice of icons present in the collective memory and practices of the youngest generations, offers a meaningful and original reading of our cultural patrimony.

With the invasion of Rome occurred over the summer, the artist has finally added the Italian capital in the list of the more than forty cities he has invaded so far: from Katmandu to Bangkok, from small urban centres to great city metropolises such as New York, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and above all Paris.

The exhibition at Wunderkammern will present various aspect of his work: from the alias replicating the space invaders of Roma to works made with his original RubikCubism technique, by means of the coloured modules of the famous puzzle, re-presenting images extrapolated from the realm of art history or popular culture, along with specific installations and curiosities. The invasion guide of Roma and the brand new 19th printed invasion map will also be presented in exclusivity at the opening.

On the occasion of the artist’s presence in the city, Wunderkammern’s exhibition space opens once again to the dialectic comparison between ordinary and extraordinary, by drawing its own poetry closer to Invader’s narrative language. The artist revisits the urban space generating wonder and transforming daily routes into unique journeys.

Opening: sabato 23 ottobre 2010 – ore 18.00

Indirizzo: via Gabrio Serbelloni 124, Roma

Date esposizione: Dal 23 ottobre al 21 dicembre 2010. Aperto dal lundedì al giovedì dalle 17.00 to 20.00 o su appuntamento al 349 8112973.
