This exhibition explores the relationship between humankind and man-made machines. Sun Yuan & Peng Yu present the, by now, world-famous work “Can’t Help Myself” and Arcangelo Sassolino presents “Figurante”, a piece which uses the functionality of industrial machine to manipulate the future of the bone that finds itself between a set of mechanized jaws.

The works of #ArcangeloSassolino has often been a demonstration that a stable situation can immediately shift.

As part of #ContinuaArtistsWithYou, Arcangelo Sassolino sent us this video of ‘Piccole Guerre’, a work he exhibited at Galleria Continua #SanGimignano for the exhibition ‘Canto V’ in 2016. The spectator witnesses an action that happens so rapidly, a transformation of one object into another form, that it’s not visible to the naked eye. The work relies on the suspense before the action, how a solid object can transform in a fraction of a second.
