Nowadays' production is impossible to be collected under a unique common denominator. We are undoubtedly projected in a kind of "technoglampopcultivated" dimension rising from neo-conceptual talks. Leaving behind any possibility of criticism and observation, we have, throughout the nineties, uniformed our thought over positions not aiming at
discussing anything. Whereas, opposite to this, and this is my impression and my hope, a still will of comprehension and analysis is currently shaping up. What is peculiar is
that the expression of such an identity, although hypothetically represented by a crowd ready to demonstrate, is jealous custody of thought individuality: the strength of the
individual in union with the other. The start is from a common basis but the way is to be walked alone, as individuals inside society. This is the sense of Framing my view. The
proposal of one's own vision together with the one of the other people. With the purpose and the respect to propose a further tolerance and civil cohabitation code. Framing my
view wants to be an exhibition where differences, both in language and project, live together without fighting. The political aspect of the exhibition is not to be searched
inside the work of the single artist but in the fact that this latter has and is producing art, stimulating the audience to train their sensitivity. And it is the very
lack of sensitivity, or at least its decrease, to create such an embitterment of human souls, such a non justified and rear-guard egoism, but also an aptitude to reasoning, to
thinking, with a tension decrease that is to worry about and easy to touch. We are not watching, as at the end of the sixties, a new art revolution, but a suspense climax
vis-à-vis the interest for human behaviour.
