THE EXHIBITION

On the occasion of the 22nd Contemporary Art Day, Studio Campo Boario presents Therapeutic Sabotage, an exhibition that presents the physical, sonic, and visual traces of a process of ideological reset and deconstruction to the public.

The exhibition gathers the results of a closed-door performative experiment held earlier in the afternoon: a staged journey—encompassing bodily circuit-breaks, the celebration of error, and sensory experiences—during which participants acted directly upon 5 large painted canvases. On these surfaces, conceived as the visual substance of 20th-century dualisms and inherited clichés, marks of conceptual breakthrough were etched, erased, and layered, reinterpreted in light of the impact of new digital technologies and hyper-connectivity.

Studio Campo Boario is thus transformed into an exhibition space where the public can experience the 5 transformed canvases, alongside audio/video recordings and material artifacts that emerged during the working phase. An opportunity to explore the remnants of a newly bare line of thought and to reflect on the present as an ever-shifting existential geography.
