The Oredaria Gallery in Via Reggio Emilia 22-24, will be hosting
Tomorrow, a solo exhibition
by Maurizio Savini (Rome, 1962),1st October 2009 at 7 p.m.
For this occasion, two colours will be conspicuously invading
the whole gallery space: pink
and yellow. Pink will have lost its usual connotation and will
assume a completely dierent
symbolic relevance, whilst a deep and intense yellow will
contrast pink its atness. The use
of chewing gum, a material with ambiguous connotations but at
the same time a cultural
trademark, will be exhibited since it has become the most
characteristic feature of Maurizio
Savinis entire production.
Symbols who are part of the imagination of each of us, everyday
objects, references to dierent
cultures and ags of some of the most inuential countries in the
present political landscape

are opposed to each other and the same time amalgamating.
Protagonists of our society,
for instance managers, are portrayed; their attitude revealing
the dramatic moment we
are going through. Thus a dislocation is invoked, referring to
this exact historic moment
- to our own everyday life and not to some remote age.
Hostile to any form of immobility, Tomorrow urges and incites a
society that has lost its
power of imagination. As far as the consumer society and the
terrible waste of energy
are concerned, unawareness, non-resistance or apathy are all
ercely condemned; a
new interaction between Man and Nature is invoked. We are
encouraged to approach
barriers crossed never before, to react to our grievances and to
destroy the nihilistic
view that sees Man in bondage. Savini has at heart the principle
of responsibility towards
Nature and calls out to convert the present situation into a
long forgotten nightmare.
