FLAVIO LUCCHINI AT BIENNALE DI VENEZIA, ITALIAN PAVILION, LOMBARDY

A special 2011, full of events and appointments for the artist Flavio Lucchini: a solo-exhibition in Venice, "What Women Want(?)", visited by more than 7000 people in the first week; also in Venice, the joint sculpture exhibition "Sign Off Design"; an archive-exhibition in Milan, "100artworks/ 20years archive", and the consecration with the participation to Italian Pavilion, Lombardy, 54. International Art Exhibition, Biennale di Venezia, curated by Vittorio Sgarbi, where the artist presents "Next Prada?", digital painting reworked (300x180 cm).

"My burqas are ghosts of a past which still lives on today and which apparently never progresses": Flavio Lucchini observes these mysterious women, who on the contrary, even beneath the apparently all-alike thick blue or black blankets, do not lose their individuality, their being concealed and segregated women, who nevertheless reveal a sensibility to details and an absolute vanity. Will burqas come into our world so much to become a designer label proposal?
In one way or another, those ominous veils trouble us and question ourselves. Once again, the dress makes the difference.
