Biokip Gallery’s
“Nothing to Lose”
@ Assab One, Milano
…the scent of freedom, the smell of the smoke-bombs, the disarranged hurry of transformation, the elegant composure of power, the hypnotic sound of dreams, the gloomy noise of the guns, the hopeful waiting for the shift, the cold punctuality of the “nothing is changed”, the sweet flavour of illusion, the sour taste of disenchantment…
Discontent, anxiety and unrest keeping us company today (son of uncertainty as unique certainty) aren’t so different from the ones that led yesterday’s young people to the ’68 movements.
The world they tried to re-build in the sixties had to be accessible to all world, founded upon such solid ideals and values as to skim the utopian.
The world they tried to re-build in the sixties is now a world where only a few people are doing allright, while there’s less and less help, fewer and fewer smiles. And it doesn’t seem that today’s world is even going to get better. The contemporary values are always to have instead of to be, and to have more and more.
Today’s young people aren’t so different from the ’68 guys, both of them imprisoned among too many nepotisms, recommendations and partisanships, both of them determined to change things; ‘cause like this it doesn’t work, like this it’s all fucked up.
This time, Biokip Gallery’s mission is to channel this so energetic excitement towards the straight and narrow path, the most uncomfortable and difficult one, but the only consistent and constructive one.
“Nothing to lose” art show doesn’t want to be an empty criticism against those who participated in the ’68 movements: to generalize is always wrong, and Biokip doesn’t want to trivialize anything and anybody. The consistency, the care and the creative energy of some of the people who “really lived” the ’68 (the real fathers of human-social-cultural revolutions) have to be respected and admired.
On the other side, Biokip Gallery’s new art-show will be a sort of creative déjà vu, a telltale dream, or a “post eventum”, but mostly the invitation for all young people (and not) to treasure only the best from the ’68, so as not to commit again yesterday’s mistakes being really able today to change our tomorrow.
The expo will be a hymn to hope, a rebel and noisy one, a hope not expecting-waiting for things to change all by their own, but a hope doing its best to make us improve and refine the society we’re living in.
