Tomaso De Luca's 'Ein Reiner Morgen in Amerika' at MONITOR Rome

Tomaso De Luca (born 1988, Verona) presents 'Ein Reiner Morgen in Amerika' at MONITOR gallery in Rome until July 16, 2016. The exhibition depicts a party gone wrong—people on sofas, drugs, alcohol, someone vomiting—as a metaphor for the final years of the postmodern era. De Luca's aluminum installations, each bearing a person's name, convey the sadness and inadequacy of postmodernism, which he argues has trampled the past and its founders, leaving art sterile and conceptually empty. The show awaits a restorative order, like hoping strict parents return to clean up the mess after a disastrous party.
