RULES OF ENGAGEMENT: MARK JENKINS AND RERO IN MILAN

Wunderkammern starts the new artistic season in its Milan venue with the show Rules of Engagement by artists Mark Jenkins and Rero.

Mark Jenkins (USA, 1970) is famous for his hyperrealistic sculptures of persons, animals and objects placed in the urban space.
Rero’s (France, 1983) work is placed in between urban art and conceptual art, and it is based on language.
In Milan, the two artists present the evolution of their artistic research in relation to the concept: Rules of Engagement.

I asked the artists some questions, so that they could explain me the the meaning of their work. That’s what they said to me.

History of costume starting from Giorgione’s masterpiece

Tuesday August 29th, 2017 , Events and Exhibitions

Giorgione, Pala di Castelfranco

HISTORY OF COSTUME STARTING FROM A MASTERPIECE BY GIORGIONE

The Castelfranco Madonna, Giorgione’s masterpiece, will be the starting point for an exhibition illustrating the history of costume and fabric.

The exhibition entitled “The textures of Giorgione” will start from the rooms of the Museo Casa Giorgione (Giorgione House Museum) and will continue outside, in different sites of the town of Castelfranco.
Of course this is an art exhibition, but is dedicated especially to the history of costume and fabric. Because it’s starting from Giorgione’s masterpiece that you can understand that nothing is as it seems, and textures, meant as fabrics, are symbols but also messages that the characters portrayed by great artists wanted to imprint on our eyes and mind.
