Minimi Avanzi – What Remains

10 November 2016

Cristina Morozzi

by

Bertozzi and Casoni, hailing from Emilia Romagna, are ceramic masters with the talent of creating forms that are more real than the real thing. From March 25 to September 24, 2017, they will present the “Minimi Avanzi” exhibition, curated by Stefano Papetti, Elisa Mori, Giorgia Berardinelli and Silvia Bartolini, in Ascoli Piceno’s Pinacoteca civica. The exhibition looks at food in all of its forms, including leftovers, waste, and scraps, as well as scattered, daily items, such as flowers, butterflies, animals, newspapers, all dismembered and reassembled in unusual, hyperrealistic still life arrangements made of colourful porcelain.

There are 24 varying works throughout the Pinacoteca, winding their way through the traditional rooms. “Minimi Avanzi” reveals an up-to-date, hyperrealist commentary, almost surreal, which expertly transforms the ephemeral into shocking works of art frozen in time.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
