The Italian artist Antonio Irre is coming to Stockholm to take part at Supermarket – Stockholm Independent Art Fair 2019.
On this occasion he also performs at our Institute, where he presents his project Parole Dentro (Words Inside), a performance that originates from the reciprocal exchange between artist and spectator, where the lines that define them blur.
In exchange for their time entrusted to the artist, the audience receives a personalized brief and imaginative portrait in words.
Then, if the participant accepts the artist’s invitation to take part, he/she will break the barrier and pass by the side of the artist, to creating a work of art in tandem, that both are going to sign. However, the fate of the work of art is already decided: it will soon end up being crumpled or eaten.
In a setting in between a street portraitist and an alchemists laboratory, besides putting the ontology of the artwork to the test, we try to find the added value of human relationships and what it means to Listen.
The performance is being repeated different times. For each person it lasts about 10 to 15 minutes.
