No, Neon, No Cry

Founded in 1981, Neon has been a permanent laboratory, a community for artists, critics and curators, and a training ground for all the people who have worked there. Its archive shows more than three hundred exhibitions to its credit, to which numerous collateral activities, collaborations and external initiatives have been added over time. But how can we approach the magmatic activity of neon in order to tell its story through an exhibition, without limiting ourselves to a strictly documentary project or, on the contrary, attempting an impossible ‘best of’ the artists and works that have been hosted there?
Gino Gianuizzi‘s answer is to resort to the formula of the wunderkammer: the space of MAMbo’s Project Room is inhabited by works in proliferation, by a visual accumulation into which one can circumspectly move, trying to decipher the individual works and trace them back to the artists.
