From
The Rooms (which ended the previous month), with its dilation
of the exhibition event, Pistoletto moved on to the highly concentrated
One Hundred Shows in the Month of October. This little square
yellow book, published by Galleria Giorgio Persano, contained 100
ideas for 100 shows, all thought up and described in the month of
October, in keeping with a process, based on ‘contingent necessity’,
similar to that which had produced the Minus Objects. One
Hundred Shows was a sort of recipe book of exhibitions and works,
many of which were later carried out; these include the video Who
Are You? (1976), Overturned Furniture (1976), The
Hoof (1979), Segno Arte (from 1993 on) and Free
Space (1999). |
