Fifteen new works form the basis of the exhibition of Flavio Favelli at Ca’ Rezzonico. Inverse beauty, “that is reversed, opposite”.
Flavio Favelli does not only look at the history of art. In his work we may also find the history of costume, everyday objects, tools of communication, and of advertising “which in Italy has influenced our history more than we think”, and there is the biography of the artist himself, for those materials and those imaginary have settled in his personal story too.
The signs not only recall the physical places of international markets, from Piccadilly Circus to Times Square, but also evoke the iconic role played by neon in twentieth-century culture: since when over a hundred years ago, a Parisian barber lit the first sign in a small shop called Palais Coiffeur, neon has gone from being a lively tool capable of attracting tourists to restaurants, shops or snack bars, to becoming a recognisable feature of major cities, and is now a favourite material of many contemporary artists.
The famous Piper disco (1966-69), reconstructed for the occasion, not only evokes a symbol of the era frequented by the international creative milieu based in Turin, but also emphasises the iconic role played by the neon sign in contemporary culture.
The signboard of a place and the call to end up again all-round.
