Pure Disclosure is a group exhibition currently on view at the independent art space Marsèlleria permanent exhibition in Milano which features the work of ALESSANDRO AGUDIO, DANIEL KELLER, ANDREA MAGNANI, and TIMUR SI-QIN within the two floors of the gallery space.

Pure Disclosure is the result of a residency that took place in 2014 in Bologna on Milano-based artistic production label SILIQOON‘s invitation who asked the four artists present in the show to work side by side with selected companies representatives of  – according to the press release – the Italian artisan excellence.

Essentially the exhibition explores the way in which globalized consumer environment alienates the contemporary visual culture by bringing together intricate assemblages that engage the conventions of branded goods and the visual vocabularies of technologies with a sense of ambivalence. This ambivalence is reflected at its best in ANDREA MAGNANI’s work, In the Vast Infinity of Life, All is Perfect, Whole and Complete (2015) which emulates a hypothetical brand identity, but includes a mystical, and yet powerful narrative.

Italian artist ALESSANDRO AGUDIO has created a multi-functional ‘totem’ which aggregates elements of home decor into a faux-marble platform that also delivers house music. DANIEL KELLER‘s piece is one of the most striking work in the exhibition and consists of three mannequins – recalling shipwreck victims of a near future – wearing technical sportswear materials that have been previously produced for DIS Magazine and which are surrounded by a multitude of objects and materials like a Spirulina algae bioreactor, broken 3D prints, a copy of Blue Ocean strategy, seaweed or driftwoods among other materials.

As for TIMUR SI-QIN, his work consists of a commercial image of Mount Everest framed into a leds and plexiglass commercial support. The image features the original Peace logo by Premier Machinic Funerary, a previous work by SI-QIN in which stock photography, as well as displays like those often found in malls and stores, are presented as biological relics.

Pure Disclosure is on view through May 10, 2015 at Marsèlleria permanent exhibition, Milano
