A project born in collaboration with Francesco Petroni and 2DM, as a new perspective which reviews the concept of a "collective" exhibition, it aims at creating a synergetic network that will see eight creative duos connecting together for eight months in 2010.
We wanted to go further and give everyone their own space and exhibition "moment". In this way the artists will not be harnessed and tied to the figure of the community but will enjoy the thrust of an event that changes progressively its nature going from the collective to the network. Sharing will be the theme of the entire project. Far from being just an assemble of individuals in a single container the community will therefore have a new free and unconstrained vision. This will happen only after a journey of eight months in which on a monthly basis will be built an identity (heterogeneous but at the same time homogeneous) that will arise with the final goal of creating a single "container" where the individual is changed into collective.
The location consists in a 20 square meters room in Milan with a window overlooking Via Tortona: an ideal platform that will enable to fully express within its space and its walls the work and vision arising from the collaboration between the artist and the creative studio which will then be exhibited for a whole week. With this initiative, we set ourselves a goal: to create a group of young people united by a common vision and may with time become a benchmark for a new generation of creative professionals. It's just the beginning of a new approach of communication and relationship between individuals.
The leading artists of these eight shows are active and dynamic performers up-to-date with the contemporary visual culture and capable of expressing themselves with sharpness, instinct and originality using a wide variety of the today's world languages and communication channels. These talents, so different and yet so alike, through their innovative and accurate spirit will appear one after the other focusing their creativity all in one room: the Wonder Room.
