Aviero. Life Box

The exhibition of work by Aviero Bargagli, curated by Maurizio Vanni and Antonio Parpinelli will be on show at Lu.C.C.A. Lounge and Underground from Saturday 12 November 2011. Nineteen works, including wooden and fibreglass sculptures, wooden boards and boxes that recount this Tuscan Artist’s personal vision of life’s origin, will occupy the museum’s ground floor and basement.

Particular attention will be given to his most recent “life box” series, seen here publically for the first time. “Aviero’s boxes – writes Maurizio Vanni, one of the exhibition’s curators – are containers of life and dreams, holders of emotions and breathes that bring the viewer to have an interactive relationship with the work. It won’t be enough to just observe or look; the enticing boxes must be opened to reveal and become involved with the secrets they hold, in a truly interactive way. This results in weird and wonderful characters that tell the story of the passions and revelations of those who do not fear self-examination. Open the containers to live and re-live the moment through our primitive instincts. Free the work’s hidden essence in order to liberate our inner instincts”.
