curated by Massimiliano Scuderi

Fondazione Zimei opens the autumn season by presenting the exhibition The Pescara’s recordings, curated by Massimiliano Scuderi, in which the artist Franck Scurti operates a divergent narration of the urban reality through large site-specific installations.

The author, in his work, carries out a resemantization of various elements, which he defines “already socialized”, often belonging to the urban and everyday context. This specific project comes from a research operated on the site and starts from the artist’s idea of narrating the city buzz; which is the background noise – consisting of fragments of materials and building waste – that ‘plays’ plastically in a constant manner inside the urban space and is peculiar of every place.

Franck Scurti, starting from maquettes created by contouring some consumer products’ packaging, as a form of the landlocked void, present between things and shapes, operates through a process of free and spontaneous research with which he rewrites and redefines relations between elements, objects and materials; therefore they find themselves dialoguing with each other, giving rise to new suggestions.

Inside the exhibition, rather than narrating reality, Franck Scurti aims, through the tool of irony and unexpected association, to counteract the evidence of the visible to go beyond the sensory reality.

You are invited to engage with the installations, and to actively experience the suggestions given by the works.
