All against Luca Rossi! The red primrose of art faces first live public confrontation

Are you ready to slaughter Luca Rossi? On Saturday, March 4, at 6 p.m., the independent art production center AlbumArte in Rome will in fact host the first live public confrontation with the well-known artist, critic and “open collective,” introduced by Adriana Polveroni and Paola Ugolini, from the Scientific Committee of AlbumArte. A sort of one-on-all during which the public will be able to measure itself with Luca Rossi, who since 2009 has been developing an exhausting and hammering critique of the art world, from which derives an unconventional artistic design in which the idea of “museum,” “artist” and “work of art” is rethought.

Titled Slowarte. One against all, it will be a meeting open to the public and to art critics, curators and artists, where we will address the most relevant issues of contemporary art as a subject capable of making us “train new eyes” (so Luca Rossi) and concretely change the world, since, he says, “art does not have life as a horizon, and it does not represent a value for our life we can also do without it.”

Having made a name for himself in the milieu for concepts such as the “Young Indiana Jones Syndrome” (to define the work of artists devoted to a manneristic revisiting of the past) or the “evolved Ikea” (by which he refers instead to empty decorativisms presented with a pompous artistic patina), in recent months he has coined the term “slow art” to indicate a conception of art “more in tune with our lives and with the most pressing urgencies of our present.”

Luca Rossi is considered the “red primrose” of the art world. An artist/collective critic, curator, blogger, and controversial figure who also works with anonymity, he wants to be a kind of Anonymous of the Art System where ego seems to no longer exist and where “anyone can be Luca Rossi,” where “critical processuality,” virtual space (the one created by the Internet) and the real one seem to have no more boundaries and mix into one.
