Chiara Bevilacqua and Yorgos Zois Double Solo at Kunstschau Lecce
The Kunstschau Contemporary Place in Lecce hosts 'La Conta', a double solo exhibition by Chiara Bevilacqua and Yorgos Zois, curated by Mariagrazia De Giorgi and organized by the Kunstschau collective. The show critiques neoliberal globalization and the resulting 'liquid society' driven by market logic. Bevilacqua's site-specific installation '005' covers the white cube with 10,000 real receipts, some burned and others bleached, symbolizing the emptiness of postmodernity and the erosion of critical thought. Zois presents his award-winning medium-length film 'Casus Belli', first shown at the 67th Venice Film Festival in 2010, which depicts ordinary situations like queuing at ATMs or supermarkets that escalate into conflict, highlighting the marginalization of culture by multinational corporations and plutocratic forces. The exhibition runs through an unspecified period in 2019.
