On Tuesday 28 May at the Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea, Paolo Monti’s
Track Money. Where’s George? exhibition will be inaugurated. This solo
exhibition will present the latest developments in the meta-project InfraTazebAu
s'pace 2011. Information in Revolution. C.G.B. An Epistemologically Propelled
Satellite. R.F.I.D - Sindone 21’ 37”. (C.G.B. is the
acronym of the Circle dedicated to the epistemologist Gregory Bateson).
The work was conceived for the
microsatellite EduSat-G.A.U.S.S. (Astrodynamic Group at “La Sapienza”
University) and was launched into orbit August 17th 2011 from the Space Centre
at Yasny in Russia.
As Chantal Cappelletti, project coordinator recalls: «With
the creation of this satellite we wanted to unite science with art by installing
on board Paolo Monti’s work Sindone 21’ 37”, comprising a “blanched” dollar
deprived of its symbols which was signed by all of us at Gauss and the artist
himself. This work falls into the most ample gamma of Monti’s work that pauperizes money with an aim to transform it from being a symbol of power to
one of union».
Monti’s project emphasizes his production of creative and
fleeting impulses on a systemic horizon where comprehension of transformation
and invariance is all yet to be explored. Observation of the world interconnects
the artist also beyond the earth’s surroundings.
His plan of action resides in a
complex vision where art is about an activity of research with cybernetic
presuppositions in which creative experience embraces an idea of evolutionism,
both biologic and anthropologic; the outlines do not only delimit the
aesthetic field but also, strongly, question the ethic dimension in relation to
the perceptive and imaginative capacity.
The satellite EduSat-Gauss was chosen
by Monti as his personal gallery, the first gallery in orbit, in homage to Lucio
Fontana’s spacialism. The exhibition is dedicated to the sky-walker Luca
Parmitano who - on May 28th, will leave on the space mission 'Volare' ISS36/37
of the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI-NASA).
At the exhibition it will be
possible to trace the orbital path of Monti’s Sindone 21’ 37” in real time.
