09/24/2009 for short periods on a scenario often still submerged and transverse to encourage more interplay between the museum and the land in accordance with the mission of the Project Room, which stands more as an experimental laboratory of ideas, proposals and project ideas.
The installation works on two levels: the first, the other metaphorical. The Project Room is completely covered by a wall-paper that draws the visitor into a metaphorical dimension: a series of hybrid human / animal emerge from the walls. The compositional architecture takes on a visionary beings that inhabit it seem scary to be blocked in the first collapse to the ground.
Amoroso's work is characterized reinterpretation of miscellaneous cultural stimuli. The iconographic references both the history of art - the representation of gigantomachy and posture of classical statuary - that the glossy fashion magazines merge with theoretical cues theriomorphism (hybrid human / animal) and cyborg (hybrid human-machine) dialectical and stylistic figures are typical of the sensitivity of the Post-Human. The matter of the installation is contradicted by the performance artist who for the duration of the exhibition, armed with personal computers, "gives" a small portion of all visitors with a USB stick that can then seize fetishistically and reproduce it at will.
performative action clarifies the word game that gives the exhibition its title, borrowed from a popular song by Janis Joplin: Piece of my Heart, as if to suggest the equivalence ironically a piece of my heart / one-piece my art, a gesture that using technology to become symbolic literal. A further enrichment of meaning is given by the sound of the installation: the original song is subjected to the process of decomposition of the typical download similar to what happens to the work through performance. The defrag sound is reduced to a sequence of noise sounds.
A piece of my art is an installation synaesthetic, emblematic of the transition from the work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction in the work of art in the age of digital reproduction, where the artist is expressed as a form of de-subjectivity and the work tends to manifest itself as an impersonal product and communication device that makes built-vanishing of the concept of copyright.
