Bowl for "GAM Turin Substitute"

This bowl, salvaged from the paint of many years ago, was reactivated for the project “The Substitute: the itinerant studio” at the GAM in Turin, 20 September 2018 – 11 June 2019, and during this time it generated a “Sedimentation” and a “Diary”. It was crystallised when this work ended on 11 June and since that time it has gone on to constitute an inseparable work together with the painting and the diary. This bowl is inseparable from the entire work, which consists of three elements: the bowl in question, the Sedimentation and the Diary, all three of which were created for the GAM in Turin.

Bowls
The bowl il the palet where I create my colour every day. I never use a pure colour; I always start from what I find inside the cup. What I find is what is left over from the day before once I have painted on a canvas. Every day I add a new colour, slowly transforming it over time. The substance changes, is consumed and does not accumulate. It is always renewed. The cup never empties but is always alive and wet. It is like keeping a plant alive.
