Fabrizio Ruggiero – A Bruit Secret and Pandora’s Box

By making a koan, a Zen paradox, Fabrizio Ruggiero offers the possibility of seeing the secret sound of painting in Pandora’s box of contemporary art through the portraits of 10 modern artists

The installation is site-specific for the spatial as well as the symbolic dimension of the small deconsecrated San Lorenzo church that has been used in the past as a gallery for exhibitions of contemporary artists

Fabrizio Ruggiero invented a secular show on the walls, with ten portraits of artists of the past century, as icons of art, and placed the painting A Bruit secret & Pandora’s box in the large niche above the altar to bring the mind of the viewers out of mechanical thought even for just a single moment.
