Francesco Vezzoli
Francesco Vezzoli's Trilogia della Morte (Trilogy of Death) explores video and embroidery, an unconventional combination unified by both passion and effectiveness. The 120 Seats of Sodom, inspired by the Italian director and poet Pier Paolo Pasolini's The 120 Days of Sodom, aligns 120 black Charles Rennie Mackintosh chairs with embroidered seats before a tapestry showing erotic scenes from other Pasolini films. Non-Love Meetings, conceived as a reinvention of Pasolini's documentary Love Meetings, in which the director traveled through Italy interviewing people about love and sex, is set in a television studio and evokes Blind Date as much as its titular reference. Like Love Meetings, it seeks to create a psychological territory in which the public speaks openly about sex and love; like reality TV, it stars a showgirl, as well as actresses from the film world, MTV and soap operas, all of whom are courted by unlikely suitors. A fetching and thought-provoking mix of both formal and colloquial entertain
Francesco Vezzoli
'Greed' replicates the strategy and aesthetics of a commercial perfume launch. Just as Marcel Duchamp created 'Belle Haleine: Eau de Voilette' in 1921, Vezzoli has created a signature perfume for the contemporary moment.
Francesco Vezzoli
This small volume documents the first major solo exhibition in North America by celebrated Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli. Surveying the artist's career through the lens of his video, "Marlene Redux: A True Hollywood Story!," it also includes 19 Josef Albers-inspired needleworks and 16 new fictional film posters.
Dalí Dalí Featuring Francesco Vezzoli
Salvador Dalí and Francesco Vezzoli played, and play, with the semantics of personality, money, media and fame including the concept of art. By combining Dalí with Vezzoli, this book connects one of the most important artists of the 20th century with the contemporary art scene, in which his excesses are surpassed by other artists in many respects. Salvador Dalís oeuvre is presented to a new generation, by looking at it from a new, contemporary angle, for example by viewing his works from a gender perspective. During the last years it has become evident that Dalí was an influential predecessor to what Andy Warhol and Pop Art developed in the 1960s. Dalí Dalí featuring Francesco Vezzoli gives a new understanding of how Dalí, with his desire to merge the art and the performer, was a forerunner for the close relationship between the media industry and the artists of today.
The Needleworks of Francesco Vezzoli
Next to his film and video works, the needleworks of Milan-based artist Francesco Vezzoli constitute a second important artistic output, in which the artist deals with the stars and divas of film, advertising, fashion, and TV. Through artfully, obsessively embroidered portraits, Vezzoli explores both the glamour that surrounds celebrities and the loneliness and transigence of their fame.
Marlene Redux
Vezzoli made his international breakthrough in 2005 at the Biennale in Venice with a fictitious remake of the Penthouse production of Caligula by Gore Vidal. Since then his name has been associated with parodies of showbiz and the hype surrounding the world of the rich and beautiful. In his film Marlene Redux: A True Hollywood Story! (2006), Vezzoli stages an homage to the diva of the Golden Twenties, and presents his autobiography in which he narrates his own rise and fall as an artist and director, and describes the preparations for Marlene Redux. The viewer is confused: what does Vezzoli have to do with Hollywood? What is true of his stories? Vezzoli skillfully transfers the marketing strategies of the film industry to his own artist biography, and creates a discrepancy between imaginary fictionalization and banal reality. Published to accompany the exhibition at Kunsthalle Vienna project space, November December 2009. English and German text.
