Vedovamazzei's 'Monologhi al telefono' at Magazzino in Rome

The Italian artist duo Vedovamazzei, composed of Simeone Crispino (b. 1962, Naples) and Stella Scala (b. 1964, Naples), presents an exhibition at Galleria Magazzino in Rome. The show includes a simulated telephone conversation in which Crispino plays John Lee Hooker's 'Too Young' on acoustic guitar while Scala teases him about the lyrics, reflecting on their decision to become engaged at a young age. The exhibition features works that have been in progress since 1992: large-scale prints of drawings made by children aged 5 to 12, depicting famous artworks by masters such as Giotto, Uccello, Raffaello, Bernini, Rembrandt, Ernst, Warhol, Hammons, Koons, and Hirst. The duo explores the tension between destiny and individual freedom, using the childlike drawings to question artistic canons and the passage of time.
