Andrea Buglisi's 'Abrasiva' at BoCS Catania

Andrea Buglisi's solo exhibition 'Abrasiva' at BoCS in Catania presents a collection of found objects and site-specific installations, marking the first time the artist has combined these elements. The show features bric-à-brac, used utensils, and thermostamped photographs sourced from Ballarò's flea market, which Buglisi recontextualizes in a Dada-inspired manner. Works include a ceramic child's head detached from its frame and placed parallel to its shadow, and 'Monolocale,' a bourgeois theater made of vintage toy furniture set on an electric meat slicer that emits a loud metallic noise. Buglisi's practice blends scientific illustration, advertising, and design, creating microcosms on monochrome backgrounds with anatomical precision. The exhibition runs at BoCS, Catania, in 2017.
