David Reimondo's 'Mi piace sparare' at The Open Box, Milan
David Reimondo (Genoa, 1973) presents 'Mi piace sparare' at The Open Box in Milan, a non-profit space curated by Mirco Marino. The exhibition runs from April 13 to May 13, 2026, by appointment at Via Pergolesi 6. Set in a condominium garage, the ongoing performance involves two assistants using handheld inkjet printers shaped like firearms to print phrases from a conversation between the artist and curator onto the walls. The work deconstructs language to create new grammars of meaning, drawing on Reimondo's film background. Critic Ilaria Bernardi notes the work's maieutic quality, inviting viewers to find their own interpretation. The piece references Jean Baudrillard's take on Alfred Jarry's 'pataphysics and Jorge Luis Borges's 'Library of Babel'.
