Previously featured on WFW, CALLA HENKEL and MAX PITEGOFF opened earlier this month their new solo show at T293 in Naples, where acrylic, resin and glass cocktails along with texts under the title Notes on American Performance 2012 printed on aluminum sculptures, are dispersed throughout the gallery.

Central to the project are photographs taken in Athens in February 2012, which showed the artists lounging in luxury hotels while the country below rioted. During the show’s opening, the hanging of framed photographs was billed as a performance. Working with performances, texts, and photographs, CALLA HENKEL and MAX PITEGOFF reveal a novel and personal point of view, in all its nuances, from the most sensual to the most suffering.

Notes on American Performance is currently on view at T293, Naples through May 25, 2012.
