Ten years after its last exhibition event, Spazio Morris returns to the scene with A NEW GOLDEN AGE OF GUANO, a solo exhibition by artist Andrea Kvas, hosted from April 6 to May 12 at Studio Giovanni de Francesco in Milan.
A NEW GOLDEN AGE OF GUANO is an immersive site-specific installation created by Kvas within the exhibition space in the seven days leading up to the opening, during which the public can freely access the work in progress. Starting from an abstract form reminiscent of a bird’s profile, reproduced in thousands of instances, the artist intends to act through layering in an extremely organic, intuitive, and visceral process: the image thus becomes raw material capable of saturating the space in various forms and combinations through the use of synthetic resins, pigments, and cellulose mixtures.
Andrea Kvas's work blends an instinctive and playful approach to painting with the analysis and reconsideration of the codes that distinguish this discipline. By radicalizing, deconstructing, and reconstructing the relationship between painting and its supports, his pictorial research requires different schemes of fruition; an attitude that has led Kvas to find intersections with sculptural, performative, and relational practices. Painting is not simply intended as an object of contemplation but as a tool for establishing active dialogues with other objects, environments, and the public, with the aim of emphasizing the contingency of materiality.
The exhibition is accompanied by a text by artist Valerio Nicolai.
