POSTERi is a project curated by METRONOM that rethinks the dynamics of use and sharing of the visual arts, with the aim of triggering virtuous mechanisms of comparison between authors and researches and between works and users.
Christto & Andrew, Elena Arzuffi, Michele Buda, Elena Aya Bundurakis, Valentina D'Accardi, Martina della Valle, Kamilia Kard, Daniele Marzorati, Andrea Pertoldeo and Marco Signorini were invited to select an unpublished image out of a series of works already produced, printed into a poster format. POSTERi is thus a rethinking of a format dear to the museum, music and cinematographic culture of the 80s and 90s: a collector's item born as a testimony of collective and individual experiences, an instrument of remembrance, a souvenir of specific personal experiences, a trip, a concert, a film.
The images of POSTERi, however, are not reproductions of works, they are not references to past events or manifestations, therefore they are released from an accessory use. In a historical moment in which turning to archive is for artists often the natural consequence of a forced immobility, the ten invited artists have taken back techniques, tools and methods of communication that are not based on reinterpretations of the past but instruments of authority to historicize the present, between inheritance and affirmation.
Through the selection of POSTERi, a small, self-managed and unconventional catalog of images is created, and welcomes different approaches and researches: from exquisitely photographic compositions to more experimental results, consistent with the paths and specificities of individual artists, who have allowed themselves the freedom and the fun of a selection process outside the box and outside canonical contexts: the poster is the exhibition.
Starting from Sunday 13 December 2020 and until the following Saturday, the ten posters are set up and made available for sale in the space in via Carteria 10, and subsequently on the Metronom Books website for the entire winter holiday period.
