Interview ADALBERTO ABBATE
Edited by Francis Lucifora
often meet during the Adalberto Abbate My visits to Palermo. A few days ago I found myself at the opening of 'his' Revolt in the gallery of Francesco Pantaleone, but both have worked for an interview. Adalberto Abbate's work seems not to fear rivals, language and research are always consistent and are likely to cause instant and sharp reflections. It 'a revolt politically correct, but it is also important to follow and refined of all revolutions seem dormant in every individual and that a riot for all seems to pull off. Between the lines emerge all the revolutions that several generations have failed because there were, I think it is important to note that among the works open spaces where they survive these strange times lost, but present in various capacities in a common DNA, sometimes faded from easy allegiances and identities to buy cheap. Abbate is a shrewd prompter.

fl Uprising is a strong and alluring title: what meaning, as indicated by dictionaries and Treccani Sandron, most expressed the total of your work for this staff?
revolt sf 1. sudden violent motion and lifting against the established order, usually not long lasting and even mild cases would also add ... right. / Ext. not necessarily an ideological rebellion expressed in tumultuous and violent actions. " rebellion "meant more like that feeling, that anger that dwells inside you for a wrong view, suffered or simply perceived. Citing this phrase in the poems of Peppino Impastato, perhaps I can explain the meaning closer to my idea of \u200b\u200brebellion. "Exorcise your needs wisdom and meditate violence and revenge." Peppino Impastato.
fl I would like to know which you have participated in riots and on what you wanted to take part?
I just did my personal struggles. Sicily is a continuous struggle to make things work and to gain their own space. As for the riots of the past ... I do not know ... I also had to live all those times in history. and what I know 'that readily take part in small but never addressed in great revolutions.
fl Your language from the outset refers to the dysfunction of society, the powers that be in groups and the human tragedy, the to name a few. The Your works what they trigger in the viewer?
Presenting a series of works in a space, and 'how to give a rise to a discourse and expose it to a disparate, readings and countless other applications and solutions. My projects are a bridge between me and the audience, and only the comparison with the works will be loaded with new meanings and thoughts. All of my previous projects are born as a result of lively discussions and exchanges.
fl If art is the mirror of a nation, believe that in Italy you are claiming, among other languages \u200b\u200bbased solely on the aesthetics of irony and parody this?
Yes The watchword in the 'art and many times' but irony being careful not to disturb the sleeping dog too. This is what hatred of those who make 'irony. The worst, however, and 'that in Italy the art system is like the political system, is a large set of favoritism and winks. In many cases, certain artistic decisions are imposed by their political color ... see biennial awards ... ... museums ... etc etc ... .. Not to mention that the art in Italy and 'Economic Geography also .... ... North South Center ... The art in Italy and 'like the railroad tracks for the Italian south you travel with a track just to the north with high speed. And then ... we are still talking of distances and centrality of cities in the era of low-cost ... in Italy we still think with the mentality of the tracks. I do not know if you noticed but the Italian art and 'so as to create clones xenophile artists and galleries ... perfectly identical artists and galleries in London ... American ... .. etc etc. This is really sad.
fl Why use frames in the recent past often overlaps with powerful symbols and massively popular?
I ever need to draw from the past ... a certain "enthusiasm", the value of memory and especially the history of social evolution and involution. I look at this change of meaning and perceptions of reality and playing down to how you change the symbols, words, history, truth, holiness. We are living in a society increasingly in the balance between Dada and the Da-da-um-pa.
fl I think around there is less and less crazy and more and more artists and ordered pricked, what do you think?
I already ... 'I hate the ridiculous word artist more and more, worse still hate the figure of the manager himself with a legacy of white-collar milan to drink now have water in my throat ... then I hate the false folly. I hate a lot of actors and extras from the commedia dell'arte. In addition 'we should say that Italy' also full of art dealers and curators incompetent without character, but in Italy there is room for everyone and if everyone chooses to do what they should or what they feel.
fl Interest in the written on the walls of your Palermo lead to urban mapping and linguistic diversity of the city. What do you think of Palermo and the city as urban entity in connection with changing people?
E 'was difficult to store many of the inscriptions on the walls of Palermo. Difficult and dangerous as the police followed me and stopped trying to kidnap the photographic material. Even more absurd I had to give me a permit by Cristiana Perrella British Academy in Rome that still thank you. The most absurd thing is that the aid has come from Rome because no building cultural Palermo considered it important to sign a permission to continue working indisturbato.perché not ask her how and 'round? from this project and its' output a city divided into several parts that fight all the time. A part of the city and 'put down another but very angry, and while some of the Mafia is the other is the huge party. On the wall reads a Palermo without folklorists ... full of injuries and disappointments, where ignorance reigns bigot and a culture enriched by an extraordinarily singular genius and cynical intelligence.
fl What do you think need addressed in Europe?
All that and by all means necessary.
