Although the collaboration between Samuele and Marth
is more recent, it is no less strong. In the last few months,
the curator and artist have been developing the backbone
of the subject that they will work on in the near and far
future: finding the common interest of death as a research
topic, the two have set off to analyse it and eviscerate it
both from a metaphorical and a physical perspective. For
their first collaboration, the duo has decided to investigate
the materials involved in Christian funerary rituals and
-more into depth- the composition of coffins. Wood,
metal and fabric are all elements that come together
when making a casket for a departed person, and, in that
frame, they have a weird combination of functionality and
frivolity. For September’s exhibition, they will concentrate
solely on fabric, as a material, and the installation will
feature Samuele’s drawings within a distinctive frame.
