Metal plates, cube-shaped, usually seen in yards, on ships or “left alone” in a corner of a firm: that’s the way we’re accustomed to seeing containers, cold and inanimate, only used for industrial purposes.
Who would have ever thought that a light ‘make-up’ would have transformed them into real objects of art and/or containers for art?
This has just happened in Genoa, Bologna and Bergamo.
The latest news refers to Bergamo, where a container used for naval purposes and abandoned some five years ago has been done up and transformed into a lounge area dedicated to relaxing.
But above all, containers have become objects of art.
It is exactly because they’re easy to transport that containers are becoming more and more a mean to communicate with people living in small and big towns, counties and villages around big cities.
In Bologna, the Container has become a real mobile lab, aimed at presenting the new way art approaches to metropolitan areas and landscapes.
Recently, Genoa hosted the “ContainerArt”, the first itinerant exhibition of contemporary art gathering paintings, videos, sculptures by innovative artists, and all this was contained in tens of containers laid in squares, streets and parks of the city.
The so-called “container art” is a form of art that is gaining momentum in Italy, thanks to different factors that mark its features.
It is a kind of art that can quickly reach out to everyone exactly because of the mobility of its “museum”, i.e. the container. Furthermore, even though containers were created to contain things, at the same time and thanks to their external faces they can become objects of art themselves.
We might as well define them as enormous three-dimensional paintings, containing more art!
