Art In Isolation / @Antonella Raio

///Artist/ Antonella Raio ///Live stream start/ 20:00 ART IN ISOLATION — During isolation, the gallery Brodac live streams the artist's work from their studio. We want to use the time of self-isolation to ask existential questions: Why are we here today and is there a unity of the world with the problem? What is the response of society to the global common crisis? How does this affect the common human in isolation? What is solidarity in times of crisis, what happens to solidarity after a state of emergency? What does life on the planet look like that can be destroyed with a single click? Do we need a new social contract and what does it look like? Will this crisis prompt us to demand more freedom and a more humane life circumstance or towards greater totalitarianism? ARTIST STATEMENT: Art allows me to focus on the other, illuminating what is normally silent. For me, the use of technology is not an end, but a means which does not surpass the work, but which offers it other possibilities. My intent is to create works that are pretexts to stop the spectator, who on any day, walking in the street or running to work, can come across a small black hole that catapults him elsewhere. I turn viewers' reactions into audio, video and photos. This material becomes the animated part of my sculptures. Working on the other, I often find myself analyzing issues related to the "Sacred", which I re-propose as the first forms of the creative. In recent years my artistic research has found in Nature, not only experimental concepts, but also the very material of my works.
