Everywhere but Now

4th Biennial of Thessaloniki of Contemporary Art.
Curated by Adelina von Fürstenberg.

David Casini’s artwork presented in occasion of 4th Biennial of Thessaloniki of Contemporary Art starts from a reflection about the concept of historical museum exhibition.
The title of the installation is Momento in cui tutto questo ha uno spazio (That moment in which this all has a place): eight works that are enclosed inside eight cases made by himself with glass and brass.
The objects inside the cases are organic and articial materials hanged up/sospended through brass structures, like geometrical images. The stone bases come from Tuscany (where the artist was born) and are made by a local craftman.
The concept is to realize a connection, through the concept of case, with the archeological museum and at the same time to create an antithetis between impressive marble statues/sculptures and artist’s small, light and fragile objects.
