CULTURAL EGGs

On a delightfull summer evening, in the garden of a contemporary cultural farm in a Sicilian village …

E: How would we show the world the artwork that is produced in this garden?

C: I have been thinking about it and here is my idea: we will travel on my sidecar from one city to another, we will choose the most significant square of each city and you will perform your great show for the cultural farm! You will become an art hub!

E: mmh..go on..

C: You will be humongous to keep the artwork to show to people !

E: are we going to be the hub for the cultural farm art? What must we do?

C: you will remain still and wear the costumes. I already called the costume designer. He choose red dot pvc waterproof jumpsuits with see through circles and welded seams.

E: Cool! But how will we fit in your sidecar?

C: you will be inflated and deflated thanks to these fantastic costumes. Once you arrive at the location, you will put on the outfit and its inner tube will be inflated through the holes. You will become very large with a diameter from 4,00 m to 5,00 m and a height from 5,50 m and 7,50 m.

At the end of the performance, you will be deflated backwards.

E: all right, I understand! Have you decided our standing position on the square yet?

C: well, it depends on the type of square.. but let’s say that you will be careful to the sun position. The shortest will go in the middle, a step backwards from the other two that will let people in and out during the exhibit, while they will let them sit during the conference. Try to be the most flexible you can be to the several cultural events and be prepared to the weather conditions! If you might feel too hot, unzip the velcro of the see through circles on your jumpsuit to let air circulate, while in case of rain, don’t worry, you are waterproof.

E: what will we do in case of too much wind?

C: you will be held to the ground by metallic ropes and sand bags.

E: surely enough! I will show your idea to the two others and we will be ready to leave!

The first performance was so successfull that the “Cultural Eggs ” were called to exhibit most of the italian art in 100 squares in the whole year. The eggs became professionals and the chicken a famous talentscout. But there was always a question to be answered at the beginning of each show:

What came first, art of the artist?…
