New wallpainting in Torre Pellice for Street Alps


HI-RES: https://www.flickr.com/photos/108ok/18857781161/in/dateposted-public/

108 x Street Alps
Magic stories, tales of “masche” (witches of the Piedmont Region folklore),gnomes and elves. Sounds and scents of the mountain, psychotropic plantsand rock engravings. These are the ingredients that have characterized the first days of the festival. The soft forms of 108 present themselves on the facade of the Contemporary Art Gallery Filippo Scroppo in Torre Pellice,taking over the upper part of the structure. That of 108 is a mark engravedon the wall, a constantly moving form, searching for its balance.

“Solstizio D’inverno” 108 solo show, Grottaglie!

20/12/2014 STUDIO CROMIE - FAME FESTIVAL - GALLERY bottega papocchia - via caravaggio - Grottaglie (TA) 108-tela-gialla-
(Acrylic on canvas. Available here: http://studiocromie.org/products-page/prints/passaggio/)

La necessità urgente di affermare che uno su tutti in italia ha fatto arte pubblica senza inseguire l’eco delle mode d’oltreoceano, e anzi, l’ha fatta piuttosto ispirandosi a certi altri movimenti diametralmente opposti, nel tempo e nello spazio.
Guido Bisagni, in arte 108, ha fatto cose in una piccola provincia italiana lontana dalle mappe culturali delle capitali. Quando neanche a londra o a parigi, dove con gli stessi medium si perdeva tempo con puppets e altre cazzate, avrebbero potuto spiegare bene di cosa si trattasse, 108 ha abbandonato tutti i giochi figurativi degli altri e ha dipinto forme inedite. Nella sua ricerca orientata alla sintesi perfetta ha addirittura tralasciato il colore, per un momento, mentre inconsapevolmente alzava la qualità dell’arte pubblica italiana ed europea tutta.
è di questo che vorremmo trasmettere una documentazione con “Solstizio d’Inverno”. una mostra organizzata e curata più in veste di fan che di collaboratori.
Presenteremo una nuova serie di lavori su tela, carta e ceramica, l’artista suonerà sotto il nome di LARVA108 e sarà proiettato in anteprima un breve video documentario su 108 girato fra Alessandria e Grottaglie.
Per noi sarà importante farlo proprio da qui, da un’altro piccolo centro lontano dalle attenzioni più superficiali.
a voi interessati, non mancate.

There’s an urgent need to declare that one artist in Italy, over all, made public art without following the echo of overseas fashions, and on the contrary, movements far away in time and space inspired him.

Guido Bisagni a.k.a. “108”, worked in a small Italian province, far from culture capitals. While even in London or Paris everybody was wasting time with puppets and stickers, 108 abandoned all the figurative toys of others and started painting unedited shapes.
In his speculation and research for the perfect synthesis he even left behind color without realizing he was raising the bar of Italian and European public art on many levels.

This is what we’d like to say with “Winter Solstice”, which will be a show run and organized by fans rather than collaborators. We’ll be showcasing a new series of canvas paintings, with pieces on paper, prints and ceramic sculptures. The artist will perform under the name of “LARVA 108″ (his noise side project) and, for the first time, we’ll screen a short documentary filmed between Alessandria and Grottaglie, about his work and life.
It is also important to us to make of this city another small center, far from superficial distractions.

Those of you interested, don’t miss it.

SURPRISED RECOGNITION // 108 + EROSIE + EKTA + NELIO // GALERIE SLIKA

SURPRISED RECOGNITION
108, Ekta, Erosie, Nelio



(Eng): Write by Rafael Schacter

At the end of November, Galerie Slika will invite a quartet of European artists to collectively exhibit in Lyon for the first time.
These four artists, 108 from Italy, Ekta from Sweden, Erosie from Holland, and Nelio from France, have increasingly sought to overturn familiar ideas and norms, to search for a more intriguing and poetic universe. Seeking an unstable and evolving balance between harmony and disorder, they explore a new common language through their paintings, a language articulated through the identity of the form.
==================================
The street is one connecting point between these four, the multiplicity of the public sphere bestowing a joint ethic, rather than aesthetic on the group. Abstraction is another, the free flow of form, a resistance to the purely figurative, yet this too is a general rather than truly familial relation.
The crucial nexus, however, seems to be something more evasive, a fugitive feeling which these four attempt to reach, an untold story more than an explicit “idea”. Each seeks something other than that which is expected, yet simultaneously search for that which has emerged through a collective mind. Each seek to present the familiar in an unfamiliar way, to push at the boundaries of representation whilst engaging in an everyday language. It is the surprised recognition of the half-remembered dream, the foreshadowing of a shadow. The surprised recognition of the known unknowns, the intimate yet uncanny recollection of the new.

(Fra): Voici un très beau texte écrit par Rafael Schacter (auteur de l'Atlas du street art et du graffiti) au sujet de l'exposition:
 

A Surprised Recognition

La rue est un point de connexion entre ces quatre artistes, la multiplicité de la sphère publique accordant une éthique commune, plutôt qu'une esthétique sur le groupe. L'abstraction est un autre lien, la libre circulation de la forme, une résistance à l'aspect purement figuratif, mais cela reste aussi une relation générale, plutôt que vraiment familiale.

Le lien essentiel, cependant, semble être quelque chose de plus évasif, un sentiment fugitif que ces quatre tentent d'atteindre, plutôt une histoire inédite qu'une «idée» explicite. Chacun cherche autre chose que ce qui est attendu, mais en même temps recherche ce qui a émergé à travers un esprit collectif. Chacun cherche à présenter le familier d'une manière inconnue, à repousser les limites de la représentation tout en s'engageant dans un langage de tous les jours. C'est la reconnaissance surprenante du rêve à demi-souvenu, la préfiguration d'une ombre. La reconnaissance surprenante des inconnus connus, le souvenir intime encore étrange de la nouveauté."

Le vernissage aura lieu le jeudi 27 novembre au 37 rue des Remparts d'Ainay à partir de 19h.

Nous vous attendons NOMBREUX!

(IT)
La mostra propone una sintesi dell’attività di ricerca dell’artista attraverso lavori su carta di piccolo e medio formato, un wallpainting, un video e delle tracce audio estratte dal suo progetto LARVA.
L’idea nasce da una riflessione che vuole associare la naturale organicità delle forme di 108 con gli aspetti estremi del paesaggio lavico etneo. Questo assume il valore di un incontro primigenio tra la materia astratta, misteriosa e simbolica delle sue masse nere e quella fisica, rocciosa del paesaggio vulcanico.

Il progetto si conclude con una pubblicazione in edizione limitata che completa il tema d’indagine.

(EN)
The exhibition presents a summary of the artist's research through medium and small format works on paper, a wallpainting, a video and audio tracks from his project entitled LARVA.
The idea comes from the association between the natural organic shapes of 108 and Etna's extreme lava landscapes. This identification reveals itself as the primitive encounter between the misterious and symbolic abstract matter of the black mass and the physical, rocky scenery of the volcano.

The projects ends with a limited edition publication that complements the topic of the research

The cobble stone streets of the town offer art enthusiasts an artistic path that is very interesting both because of the presence of national and international “names” and the combination of art and the environment. These places definitely give a magical and beneficial energy to the body and mind". http://www.lugano-montebre.ch/it/arte.html

Next (double) solo show: 108 + Elzo Durt: Crossroad #1

108 & Elzo Durt: Crossroad #1 
Doppelgaenger – Palazzo Verrone – Via Verrone 8 – 70122 Bari 
www.doppelgaenger.it 
Vernissage: 5 marzo 2013 – ore 18:30

Doppelgaenger is delighted to announce Crossroad #1, a double exhibition by artists 108 (Italy, 1978) and Elzo Durt ( Belgium, 1980). The title refers to a possible crossing of two different artistic trails, risen from the street but, however, separated. The panorama of urban art, prominently evolved during the last ten years, from media, academic and institutional point of view. Usually attributable to graffiti and street art, develops sequences of application and phenomenon, different from its original, pure and well-know characteristics. But, at the same time, it reveals stylistic performances from ‘900, or earlier, avant-garde.
