  • Francesco Vezzoli: a True Hollywood Story’ We May Well Ask Who Exactly Is Francesco Vezzoli
    In the shadow of style: The invention of Francesco Vezzoli Gregory Burke Given the exhibition title ‘Francesco Vezzoli: A True Hollywood Story’ we may well ask who exactly is Francesco Vezzoli. Despite its explicit assertion to the contrary this very title immediately disrupts expectations of veracity in terms of a survey of the life and work of a contemporary artist. Rather, the appropriation of the E! True Hollywood Story moniker promises a no holes barred expose replete with revealed secrets and salacious reenactments. In short the title sets Vezzoli up as the potential victim of gossip, with its dependence on innuendo, misinformation and scandal. It raises the question as to who is telling the story with the presumption, given the contemporary art context and the artist’s oeuvre, that Vezzoli himself is at least complicit with its fabrication. While Vezzoli has included his artistic persona as a subject in much of his work, ‘Francesco Vezzoli: A True Hollywood Story’ suggests an autobiographic treatment to bring his persona centre stage. Nevertheless it also begs the question as to what Hollywood has to do with the contemporary Italian artist and what if anything can we expect to be true in the story that is to be told. The nucleus of the exhibition and the work that inspired the exhibition’s title, is the film installation ‘Marlene Redux: A True Hollywood Story!’, 2006. Vezzoli himself is the subject of the film through the tracking of his art career. Establishing his birthplace in Italy the film narrates his sojourn in London as a young art student at St Martins School of Art in the early 1990s, positioning his work in embroidery and needlepoint as a reaction to the largesse of the new wave of young British artists who were then invigorating the contemporary art scene in London.

  • Interview: Francesco Vezzoli
    Financial Times: 'Antidotes to Absurdity', by Rachel Spence, August 28th 2015 Interview: Francesco Vezzoli The Italian artist and film-maker on his ‘obsession’ with truth and the connection between sexuality, art and capitalism Generally, videos are a cross that art-lovers have to bear. Most are too long and pretentious, made by practitioners who would never have survived were they obliged to use a less generous medium such as paint or marble. So it was with a heavy heart that I pushed open the curtain that shielded Francesco Vezzoli’s film at the 2005 Venice Biennale. Six minutes later, I was reeling. For “Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal’s ‘Caligula’ ” was a hilarious riff on Bob Guccione’s 1979 movie Caligula. Disavowed by Vidal, the original screenwriter, Caligula had been panned by critics as a piece of hard-porn kitsch masquerading as a feature film. Vezzoli had made a trailer for a movie that didn’t exist inspired by one that was never what it pretended to be. Furthermore, he had scooped up Hollywood stars, including Helen Mirren — who had also appeared in Guccione’s film — Milla Jovovich and Benicio del Toro. Vidal himself intoned the introduction. Courtney Love popped up in a cameo as Caligula. Not only was it far more engaging than most artists’ films, the logistics were baffling. How did Vezzoli persuade his all-star cast to participate? Mirren is a busy woman. Vidal was no pushover. “Sincerity and flowers!” Vezzoli replies when I ask him, 10 years later, how he had convinced such legends to work with him.

The works by the 22 featured artists are pictorial reflections on shifts in socio-economic conditions and their formative influence on public space. While the more recent works mainly address the status quo and the remnants of change, the exhibits from around 1990 often testify to the impending transformations of the period following the reunification of East and West Germany.

  • Jonathan Meese ACROSS the UNIVERSE (DR
    Jonathan Meese ACROSS THE UNIVERSE (DR. SPACE-ANIMALISM ,,E.A.G.L.E.”: FLY LIKE AN EAGLE) New Paintings, Sculptures and Works on Paper February 4 - March 27, 2021 David Nolan Gallery is pleased to present ACROSS THE UNIVERSE (DR. SPACE-ANIMALISM ,,E.A.G.L.E.”: FLY LIKE AN EAGLE), a selection of new paintings, sculptures and works on paper by Jonathan Meese. The exhibition marks the artist’s second collaboration with the gallery and his first show in New York in five years. These works were produced in the last 12 months in the midst of the global quarantine, apart from the social interactions of daily life. Greeted with isolation, the artist delves into a vocabulary both real and imaginary, armed with a rich arsenal of cultural references and a penchant for the fantastical. Meese invites the viewer, without prejudice or preconceived notion, into his dynamic, spectacular universe. Jonathan Meese was born in Tokyo in 1970 to a German mother and Welsh father. Together with his siblings and mother, Jonathan relocated shortly thereafter to Hamburg. He spent his childhood escaping into alternate worlds, surrounded by toys, comics, Star Trek, and mesmerized by cinema. His mother nurtured his artistic sensibility by buying his first sketchpad and pastel set and encouraged him to study at the renowned Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg, where he studied under Franz Erhard Walther, a pioneer of participatory art. Walther’s philosophy favors improvisational installation that are activated by the viewer’s imagination; he conceived corporeal sculptures that could be arranged in multiple ways or display solutions imbued with a humanism that would profoundly affect Meese’s practice.
