A Matter Of Printing (for SMC) is a journey into the process and exercise of developing the concept of multiples as a democratic element of distribution of the work of art. With this approach the attempt to elaborate a political challenge through the strong and, somehow, limited possibilities of the unique artwork is placed. The multiple naturally comes as a possibility for a different way of communicating, often used in the past as a carrier of new ideas and often subversive or humorous intent.
The core of the exhibition are multiples published by the Edizioni Francesco Conz, a project the Italian collector - a mysterious impresario who strongly supported the artists of his time and that died in 2010 - started in the 70's and continued until the 2000s. The Edizioni Conz will share the space with some of our favourite living artists and poets.
During the week-end of 27-29 of April, the exhibition will have a public program, Mass X, curated by The Performance Agency in the gallery's courtyard.
"I had no pleasure in collecting 'rich stuff', already packed. I was looking for a more refined answer to my approach to art and the creative process behind it”
- Francesco Conz
About Supportico Lopez
Supportico Lopez was born in Naples in 2003, its main characteristic that of being the project of two artists and a curator who decided to open a room of their flat to public exhibitions featuring international artists. The project continued to be ran throughout the years by Gigiotto Del Vecchio – one of the founders – together with Stefania Palumbo, as a curatorial space for the diffusion of contemporary art.
