It is the second weekend of November, the Day of the Dead has just passed and the lights of the Fair make Turin vibrate. Friday night, in the district of Porta Palazzo, an apartment receive a visit: four guests, completely unexpected. They appear at the door as a group, with subtly menacing confidence and, without saying a word, they settle in the house. In their diversity, they have traits in common: undoubtedly the size, huge. Their manners are sometimes disquieting but not hostile. They seem to be waiting for someone or something. Silently they look around, and let themselves be observed. On the weekend of Artissima 2015 (7-9 November) artists Cleo Fariselli, Corinna Gosmaro, Andrea Kvas and Erik Saglia present Unexpected guests, a “flash” group show in an apartment in the district of Porta Palazzo. The displayed works have been created for the occasion and their large format relate to the domestic dimension of the space in an “anti site-specific” way. The result is an exciting and unusual confrontation between the environment and the artworks, that welcome visitors like excessive and suggestive “guests”.
