Ai Pioppi Beautiful chaos, taboos, and conventions Kym Maxwell. February 14th - 16th @Project Space, 105 Helen St, Northcote, Victoria
This laboratory-styled exhibition explores the playful and energetic, viral and digestive environment of Ai Pioppi, a manmade kinetic playground in the hills of Nervesa della Battaglia, Italy. Through drawings, sculpture, and bricolage I concur the richness of the site, its gastronomic intentions and its playful schematics. I conflate the ways in which nature widens and conceals play via Bruno's equipment that demonstrates his energetic imagination. 6 years in the making the research was conducted with the support from
Creative Australia's Career Development Grant and the Ian Potter Cultural Trust's Emerging Artist Travelling Scholarship 2019
