Gelosia | LU CAFAUSU in Switzerland
By Simone Kraft
Lu Cafausu is a mysterious small building, an architectural remnant that the artists have elected as a source of metaphors and narratives. It is ‘an imaginary place that really exists,‘ around which the presence of death floats. Over the last few years Emilio Fantin, Luigi Negro, Giancarlo Norese, Cesare Pietroiusti, and Luigi Presicce have been involved in a sort of common aesthetic and anthropological investigation dealing with the contradictions of both urban and metaphorical spaces, ‘self-generated‘ beauty (by chance or necessity), and the ‘errata‘ of the landscape. Lu Cafausu, an old gazebo-shaped building located in a small town in the south of Italy, has become the inspiration for stories, performances, and actions realized in different European and American cities. The artists identified Lu Cafausu as a metaphor for something that is, at the same time, both central and marginal, where aesthetic contradictions meet the meanings (or maybe the lack of any meaning) of our time. At the Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp in Switzerland, they present their “Gelosia”.
