Seb Koberstädt - Zero
Within the city we live in, space is one of the aspects more than others is the masses who inhabit it, reflects the use made of it and affection towards it: sometimes zero. So the measure of zero indicates a complex relationship between people and places, or at least a degree of departure. Urban sprawl in the aftermath of the years 50-60, has already become cult issue, the interest from some places in large cities has shifted on the outskirts and on the 'industry of restoration and recovery did not bet when the building of some ships made of concrete. The center, the downtown and the adjacent areas known today new details of degradation and above all remain at the mercy of inattention. There is no contemporary art that takes the installation of fly tipping, for one thing, works are a continuous cycle, a collaboration unconscious and especially maintain an average growth rate incomparable to others. Zero is also the title of the second exhibition of the project Fortino 1. Seb Koberstädt, invited by Helmut Friedel, John Iovane, Salvatore Lacagnina, in residence in Catania, has developed the exhibition spaces work of the Foundation Brodbeck. The German artist makes a personal revelation of the relationship between inside and outside not reported immediately to matter, but also the spaces of the former factory of licorice to help bring in plastic form the feelings and thoughts that indicates the outside. Brodbeck The Foundation is located in St. Christopher, a low density neighborhood walks, and with problems common to other cities. The works to implement a process of translation Koberstädt environment even when attention is focused on materials: the light and the heavy influence in the work as evidence of problems solvable with two measures of intervention. The cartons of beer pop, Zero, support a heavy and cool as marble, and the reference to contemporary art that suggests behavior, is palpable. All one unifying song indicates the color of that part of Sicily littered with lava stone, a material that gives the unmistakable smell to the area and makes the landscape asphalt and dark, is the severe form of those who want to extract the chaos to calm gaze. The Foundation Brodbeck, with the help of Gianluca Collica and curatorial trio, published the second act of a fort, part of a larger project that at the time, successfully catalyzes the energies of art and the emergence of a territory . The choice of extra national artists, first met with doubt, proves to be a clear attempt to create relationships between different cultures and unfamiliar as to Seb Koberstädt his speech will be readable over time. Environmental transformations and crossings confirmed the central nodes for the art of this, in fact witnessing a new relationship between contemporary art and the metropolitan area included in the concept of landscape assets expressed by the art historian who focuses Viviana Gravano value relationship between the peoples of the mutations induced by the artists, not identification of the place as a land of unchanging membership.
