The fourth exhibition of SPOT series, Naked Lunch, by Moio&Sivelli,
opens Saturday, December 11th at 19.00 at the Project Room of MADRE Museum.
Naked lunch is a delirious novel by W. Burroughs, screen played and
directed by D. Cronenberg in the 90’s. The title has been flippantly borrowed
by Moio&Sivelli for the exhibition opening’s performance at MADRE. This
high quotation is overcome by the artists with a representation where there is
no barrier between reality and fiction and which they direct on the edge of a
livid irony that smugly slips into something grotesque.
Nevertheless, the ironic provocation and the astonishment of the
spectator, brutally dragged into situations which are on the edge of reality
are peculiar features of the work produced by the Luigi Moio (1975) and Luca
Sivelli (1974).
Disenchanted, cynic and decadent, nowadays Art goes over platitude; it
mirrors itself into the derisory look of the visitor and into the relation
between a sly author and his distrustful public. With Naked lunch Moio&Sivelli
offer to the public an upsetting and grotesque performance that will possibly
make the viewers astonished and annoyed, as soon as double meanings and hidden
references come clear.
SPOT is a project that develops through a cycle of exhibitions dedicated
to young Neapolitan artists, whose previous three editions had Giuseppe
Stellato, Roberto Amoroso and Donatella Di Cicco on display.
