“Under observation #3”: the work by Robert Pettena for the city of Matera at Fondazione SoutHeritage from 26 May to 30 June 2007
Fondazione SoutHeritage (Matera, Italy) will host from the 26th of May until the 30th of June “Under observation # 3”, the third part of the project dedicated to the funding of a Center for Contemporary Arts in Matera. This third phase of the project, curated by Angelo Bianco, presents the site-specific work by Robert Pettena. The British artists started a reflection on the role of a public space for contemporary art in Basilicata region, developing his project with the production of various materials. Questionnaires, videos, field researches, photos are all part of the artistic work, as they serve as basis for the research intended for the aesthetic project: the realization of a “nomadic installation”, an example of truck-art, conceived not as a work to be looked at, but as a kit-stand to be used. The installation, starting from September 2007, will be presented in schools, museums, public offices, to collect the citizens’ ideas to define a possible model of a contemporary art space in the city of Matera, through a democratic process of participated design.
