exhibit Nr.508

Description: Since many years you see my works going on with pyramid, palm, apples, cd.

Comments/Origin: Since the first years of the '80s I collaborated with Giancarlo da Lio propagating the philosophy of the movement 'itinerari 80' about the meaning and the use of alternative art space. In this context I entered the Mail Art Network.
In the beginning, as many mail-artists do, I tried to answer to mail art projects by working on theme and nothing else.
I think I can name 'artist' only somebody have in artworks their 'line or symbol' which is a characteristic of their idea, on the contrary they are 'artisan'. It is the same with mail art. And so I transferred my 'symbols' from picture to mail art work. And now I do not want to change until I'll turn my idea on art work. May be?
Nothing is impossible. Turning over ideas made civilization of man and enveloping of society: the new frontier we need. My works name 'Plastocollage', because I use plastic material to make or to stop together my collage. The neologysm is by Giancarlo da Lio, art critic.
