Diego Perrone's Monstrous Sculptures and Films at CAPC Bordeaux
From May 25 to September 16, 2007, CAPC musée d'art contemporain in Bordeaux, France, showcases Diego Perrone's solo exhibition featuring three pieces influenced by elusive forces. One significant sculpture illustrates the bell casting process, creating a dual effect of cutting and stitching. Another, subtler sculpture, resembles a crumpled photo of Boccioni's mother in an ambulance. A stop-motion animation depicts a wolf-like figure struggling with its half-flayed body in an infinite loop. Perrone's creations evoke insect-like forms with legs, wings, and stingers, reminiscent of ancient savage rituals projecting into the future, akin to parasites consuming their hosts. The exhibition will move to MAMbo (Museo d'Arte Moderna) in Bologna later in 2007. Simultaneously, CAPC features a video collection by David Maljkovic titled "Des mondes perdus," showcasing works from various artists, including Laurent Montaron and Paul Pfeiffer.
