Show in Milano

The third installment of my Italian touring solo show is in Milano. Opening on Saturday, February 13 at Younite, Viale Bligny, 42.
Thanks to Federico Zanatta of Father Murphy, incredible as usual, and to Barnaba Ponchielli of Edizioni Zero for setting up the exhibition.

February 21st.

Because of the snowstorm, the double feature of 60 WRITERS/60 PLACES and I WILL SMASH YOU at Creative Alliance in Baltimore has been rescheduled for Sunday, February 21st. Doors at 630pm; screening at 730pm.

Nice interview with Michael Kimball and write-up about 60 WRITERS/60 PLACES in the Baltimore City Paper.

The reviewer calls 60 Writers "a wonderful example of literary thinking becoming a visual language" and calls both our documentaries "disarmingly engaging".

Double feature in Baltimore

The two documentaries that I made with Michael Kimball, I WILL SMASH YOU and 60 WRITERS/60 PLACES will be screened at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore on February 5th. Doors at 6, screening at 7pm.

Snow Vs. Coffins

My show at the the Madison Arts Council opened yesterday, despite the snow.
It was a great night. People were warm and receptive. I talked about my art and my background (Italian-atheist-catholic boy fetishing books and punk rock records), and screened some of my animations, which made people look at my art with different eyes.
Thanks to everybody who came out and supported me and bought my art. Thanks to Leni for driving me around and helping me in setting up the show (it looks great, thanks to her) and for everything else that she did. Thanks to Erich (in Man or Astro Man and in dozens of other bands) of the Arts Council for organizing the show.

The Art of Coffins will be up until the end of February.

Show in Berlin

I will have a solo show in Berlin in the Fall.
I lived in Berlin in the 90's. It's my favorite city in the world.
I am really excited about it.
More details to come.

On not telling stories

I am making bigger pieces in these days. I use wooden boards. The cut-outs are paper, and always small, often insanely small, but I am composing them in bigger narratives.

I am not interested in art that tells a story, but in art that contains potential stories and never tells them.

I just finished a tryptic. I am happier about it than I've ever been with anything I've made so far I think. It's called Tre Annunciazioni, which means Three Annunciations.

I am listening to Skullflower a lot lately.

This one is called Blue Birds Escape from the Prison of my Body.

Freshly baked biscotti

Uploaded a bunch of new art.
