Haemolacria
The complete words of Marcel BloodTears
Artistic literary homage to Marcel Broodthaers
a cura di Gianluigi Ricuperati
con Apparatus 22, Riccardo Beretta, Margot Bowman, Guglielmo Castelli, Stefania Fersini, Corinna Gosmaro, Luca Trevisani
29 settembre – 6 novembre 2016
HAEMOLACRIA è la mostra narrativa della tappa finale del Laboratorio del Dubbio, il capitolo 7, che alla chiusura della mostra, il 6 novembre, alla fine di Artissima terminerà il suo breve arco di vita.
Il titolo è Haemolacria, che in italiano si dice ‘emolacria’, e che è il termine scientifico con cui si indicano le sindromi per le quali si lacrima sangue dagli occhi. Quando due discipline dialogano, una delle due lacrima sangue dagli occhi. È integralmente dedicata a Marcel Broodthaers, uno dei più grandi artisti e poeti del XX secolo, che moriva 40 anni fa.
Per l’occasione ho coniato un nuovo personaggio, Marcel BloodTears, un supereroe artista straziato dalla sua doppia vocazione: parole o immagini? testi o oggetti? Ho chiesto a sette artisti, di diverse parti del mondo, di misurarsi con Broodthaers/BloodTears, e rispondere a ogni testo, appeso al muro, con un’opera, appoggiata sul tavolo.
Gli artisti sono la londinese Margot Bowman, i rumeni Apparatus 22 (Erika Olea), gli italiani globali Riccardo Beretta, Guglielmo Castelli, Stefania Fersini, Corinna Gosmaro e Luca Trevisani.

Haemolacria
The complete words of Marcl BloodTears
Artistic literary homage to Marcel Broodthaers
curated by Gianluigi Ricuperati

29th September – 6th November 2016
HAEMOLACRIA is the narrative exhibition of the final stage of Laboratorio del Dubbio, Chapter 7, which at the end of the exhibition on 6 November, at the closure of Artissima, will terminate its short life span.
The title is Haemolacria, the scientific term indicating syndromes in which tears are produced that are partially composed of blood. When two disciplines establish a dialogue, one of the two cries tears of blood. The show is dedicated as a whole to Marcel Broodthaers, one of the greatest artists and poets of the 20th century, who died 40 years ago.For the occasion I have invented a new character, Marcel BloodTears, an artist-superhero torn by a dual vocation: words or images? Texts or objects? I asked seven artists from different parts of the world to come to grips with Broodthaers/BloodTears, and to respond to each text hung on the wall with an artwork placed on a table.
The artists are Margot Bowman, from London, the Romanian Apparatus 22 (Erika Olea), and the global Italians Riccardo Beretta, Guglielmo Castelli, Stefania Fersini, Corinna Gosmaro and Luca Trevisani.
