The strategy of the loser

Pino l’eccezion(al)e Interview by Daniele Capra

Trying to be invited at the most important biennial: The mother of all Biennale di Venezia, started more than a hundred years ago in Venice. Any person with proved trust in reason knows that an approach like that of Pino Boresta is automatically destined to fail. The Roman artist, in fact, for years has worked persistently to prompt curators and critics to invite him at the event, but with care to operate in a direct, unpleasant and no-licker manner. The blitz, the noise, the contestation in public debates, all measures of disturbance in which they are – programmatically – wrong approaches, methods, tones. We could even say that if this does not happen (that is if his requests were successful), he would deny himself the pleasure that nasty children often have to mess up the clean swot’s copybooks. And it’s too easy to develop winning strategies. Try to imagine how could be losing strategies. Anyway Boresta is that kind of personality: He is essentially an artist who loves to make questions, loudly breaking “cabasisi” (to break the balls) as Camilleri writes. Even the interview that follows is the proof.

Daniele Capra (DC): Inside or outside the art system, what is the difference?

Pino Boresta (PB): In the future it makes no difference, but today when an artist is presented within the system through special influential channels, it will be sure that his work will endorsement or at least a strong focus, regardless to the fact that it is appreciated, or not, by majority.

DC: But the Art is a work of relations…

PB: Yes, but what it will decree every time is the inevitable and repeated defeat of those who – despite – having a significant background work – always it will have to resign to face with a sort of systematic distrust, which affect the quality and amount of attention needed for a proper understanding of his work.

DC: So, do you want simply change the system?

PB: Simply! Do you think it’s not enough? We should quit with these opportunistic logic, used each time to make up Biennial and Quadrennial exhibitions for the benefit of those usual privileged artists supported by a small group of corporate galleries, foundations and institutes!

DC: So, the Sgarbi’s Italian pavilion is welcome?

PB: Who knows! I do not know, for sure I did not think in a formula like that of Vittorio Sgarbi! But more than that Quadrennial will adopt, also criticized – I dared to suggest in October 4, 2008 to Roberto Pinto, Emanuela De Cecco and other, in the break of the presentation of Subrizi’s book – where will be the artists to invite other artists, even if, looking to the late bad fact about me, I do not think the things will change much for me.

DC: I do not think it is important for you to become famous, but rather to help people to think about the mechanisms of inclusion/exclusion.

PB: Yes! Exactly!

DC: And you started immediately with public actions. When was the first?

PB: One of the first subject is the one where I made the offhand that intervention I told you before, where I promoted my project Boresta’s Signature. The opportunity was the presentation of the book “Why Duchamp” by Carla Subrizi at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome.

DC: You do not even remember what you said…

PB: Yes! Because I have write down a rag on the spur of the moment, that I still own. “I’m here to talk about the importance of Duchamp and his work, but unfortunately I have not prepared anything and also people have spoken and will speak more certainly competent than me. But I have a dream. No, far from it! I had a dream, dream where Duchamp, with a blond wig, urged me saying: “Go to the conference of Carla Subrizi who wrote and she is going to show a beautiful book about me”. Therefore on mandate of the great Marcello (Marcel Duchamp). I am here as a parasite, parasite of art, in attempting to make a petition as an artwork. I want to rate if a petition can become an artwork, but also I want to verify if today, an unsupported and un-promoted artist by the usual familiar faces, critics and powerful dealers, can still affect and influence this debate in its dynamics as surely Duchamp did, and I believe he would I have liked this idea. Or maybe not?”.

DC: Maybe not! And then what?

PB: I then distributed my flyers and collected some signatures.

DC: Now, what does it remain of the project FB?

PB: Everything! But what I still wonder to whom, the curator Daniel Birnbaum, claimed to be intellectually honest and virtuous, have requested information on a certain artist Boresta Pino, who had mailed a large parcel with almost 1000 subscriptions and miscellaneous publications concerning a curious initiative concerning in an auto-petition to be invited to his Venice Biennale…

DC: Maybe he never saw in person…

PB: I know for sure that he has received it and saw it, otherwise it would be very strange for a serious curator.

DC: Maybe your work interested him or maybe he’s just disgusting!

PB: “Bravo!” Yeah, maybe he was interested or even hated it, but he will definitely ask someone close to him who knew better the Italian art scene, and what they have said to him I will never know, but I can imagine how since the things are gone.

DC: I repeat. You should take advantage of Sgarbi (the incompetent)

PB: Are you saying that if I have failed to slip myself at the Biennale, even with Sgarbi, I will no longer have any hope to succeed?

DC: Yes!

PB: You may be right but I believe that at the Italian Pavilion curated by Vittorio Sgarbi, should participate only artists who make a certain kind of work, artists who make work that comes out even in the chaos of a thousand works and indeed the feed on chaos.

DC: You had to ask to him!

PB: I did it and he also called me, but then he told me that he is not convinced about me , but maybe this is a good sign. Taking part at the exhibition I would not have had nothing to lose, I do not care to hang my work stucked side by side with thousand other, when like a parasite, I hang them even over the other artworks. Do you really think that I care to compete for grabbing some public art attention within hundreds and hundreds of works of almost three hundred artists, when from eighteen years I stick up on the streets stickers with my face printed on, at the mercy of distracted every day citizens, defying the massive invasion of advertisement by which the cities are assaulted and raped? So, there is the risk to lose my battle, and every day I take my revenge.

DC: But this led you nowhere…

PB: But for example, it led me to you…are you “nobody”?

DC: So Venice will remain just a dream?

PB: But I was there at the hall and I am still there, take a closer look!

DC: What have you done?

PB: I unrolled my PVC poster titled “I want Pino Boresta to the Venice Biennial” and it rested there the whole day, illegally hanged. Many have seen it and i can confirm an enthusiastic Laura Palmieri.

DC: Is there anything that you liked of last Venice Biennale?

PB: I liked the Biennale Pavilion of Spain called “The Inadequate”. When I discovered it, I thought it was dedicated to me. In fact, I do not understand why I am not invited at the events. One of my articles that I wrote in the magazine Juliet, magazine with which I work from several years, is entitled “The out-date”, fancy that!

DC: You are not the only one to complain indeed…

PB: I’m right inside and over the themes of which are now debated in the art scene, having many years of work, contributing to go public, but I guess you right… I am unpleasant and I miss all the approaches, among these, they do not want me and they do not want to give me visibility.

DC: Do you think you are the victim of a plot?

PB: But it seems there is some dark figure plotting against me, and causes me not being there where it’s important to be there. Obsession of persecution?

DC: Yes!

PB: Maybe, but when someone else tells you and confirms some of the things you think, you start to believe that, perhaps, your rating are not entirely wrong.

DC: Aren’t you tired to complaining?

PB: But I told you, other do it because they want to get something. I do it because it is part of the work. They want stop me! They want stop me being an artist? Well, if Cattelan leave off, as he said, I leave off to be an artist. It is the “drag effect”, but if you think that however, he got some satisfaction while I do not, almost makes me think back! Ah ah!

DC: So what?

PB: I will tell you what: I give to myself another two years of time, and if I will not be invited to the next Biennial, I will commit suicide!

PINO BORESTA, Artist, Rome

Kassel Disorder 1997

STICKER DISORDEL IN KASSEL JUNE 1997

On all posters advertising the Documenta “X” exhibition, I placed stickers with an image of my grimacing face exactly in the centre of the “X”. Two days later, while I was still in Kassel, someone told me that some uninformed people who had seen the stickers thought it was the curator face, of the exhibition.

On 23 June 1997 at 11.30 AM I put a big sticker of my grimacing face inside a public locker with a text attached. The locker was then closed. I kept the key of the locker as evidence of my actions.

I thought it was relevant to place a small sticker above every label titled “IMPORTANT”, located in all areas of the exhibition. How you interpret this

is your decision. I cant’ do everything. Can I.

One of the main intentions of the invited artist Carl Michael Von Hausswolff was to gauge the reaction of visitors to his potentially dangerous installation. I thought it would be right to place one my stickers over every “STOP” sign along the electric fence around his installation.

In a rough cavity of the wall close to the entrance of the main hall dedicated to Gerahard Richter, I placed another of my “ Grimacing Face “, stickers. I can now claim to have exhibited alongside the great German artist.

On the top of both basalt stones beside the two oak planted by Beuys, just in front the Fridericianum Museum, I stuck a small sticker face. The funny thing is that a lot of people continued to sat on them ignoring the small face flatten under them ass.

On January 30th 1999 in Bologna, I was talking to someone who wanted to arrange a video interview with me, concerning my urban stickers. Our conversation was interrupted by Hans Hermann who said he needed to speak to me immediately. He began to protest at length about some of the stickers I had placed at the Documenta X exbition in Kassel. I had put one of the my face stickers on his “Kosmologische systemologie” arrow pointing. After a brief explanation to which he probably wasn’t even listening to, he suddenly said to me “This time I win!… because on my stickers I wrote io and my name “, He was to referring the fact that at the Bologna ARTEFIERA, I had placed my stickers next to his stickers unaware that he was the same artist of the arrows in Kassel.. I replied very calmly “ Of course you win!… I don’t do what I do to win, I’m absolutely sure of losing”.

Psychic Interview # 2 Interviewed by George Maciunas Ramundas Malašauskas



























As soon as I arrived, I quickly visited the room dedicated to Maciunas and when Lucio Perotti started to play the piano a large number of people made a semicircle around him. After the first tune. I realized that it was my turn in the show. I took off my jacket, I stood next the piano and pianist and I started jumping and screaming “Be happy, there is Maurizio Cattelan .... be happy, there is Maurizio Cattelan ....” No one stopped me and the pianist continued to play, so the public did not understand if this was part of the performance or not. After a couple of minutes someone of the organization asked me very politely to stop. Nevertheless I was almost passing out from the effort. I pointed at my watch to tell her that I had nearly finished my blitz-perfomance. So I kept it up again for another couple of minutes. When I was almost exhausted I stopped, unexpectedly the entire audience cheered me by clapping.When I sat, visibly tired, on a chair in the foyer of the Auditorium someone asked me why I had made that action… I replied that it was, certainly, a tribute to three brilliant minds such as George Maciunas, Simon Cristicchi and Maurizio Cattelan but anyone could draw their own conclusions.

London: "Hey!...

HEY!… MY FRIEND WHAT'S THE MATTER?

HEY!... MY FRIEND WHAT'S THE MATTER?

RETURN home just in time to have lunch.
OPEN the door.
CLIMB the staircase and go in to the room.
NOTICE a man on the front roof.
LOOK with more attention and notice that is a boy.
REFUSE to be witness to a suicide.
BELIEVE he was doing something with somebody down in the garden.
HAVE the idea of snapping two photos.
GO DOWN to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
GIVE a glance from time to time at the front roof.
BELIEVE that somebody else sooner or later will see him.
VERIFY that he is always there, motionless.
SHOOT another photo also from kitchen.
SWITCH ON the television while he is there.
SET the table while he is there.
START to eat while he is there.
FINISH to eating while he is there
BE SURE that some neighbour saw him.
WAIT for somebody to notify the police.
OBSERVE him shrugging his shoulder and putting his head on his chest.
OVERCOME you fear...of what?
DECIDE to call him.
WATCH while he bends forward.
TRY to...
SEE him fall down.
SAY “It’s my fault because I didn’t open the window and shout”
HEY!... MY FRIEND WHAT'S THE MATTER?

HEY!... MY FRIEND WHAT'S THE MATTER?.

Instructions for use

A) Read the text which tells an event that really happened, as you can verify in the document of the court.

B) Observe the three photos carefully.

C) Think about whether to consider GUILTY or INNOCENT the observer of the fact, because he didn’t open the window and shout; "Hey!…My friend, what's the matter?"

D) Therefore send a message telling me your incontrovertible judgement by writing down a simple word, GUILTY or INNOCENT. Moreover, if you want, you can add a message explaining the reason that determined your verdict.

E) Also any considerations, comments, stories inspired from the fact are very well accepted.

This is my project experiment with New forms of interdisciplinary like eletronic poster, the display pannels like that one there is in Piccadilly Circus in London ed every where in New York. This is my Project I have decided to contact you, to present a project I firmly believe could result deeply interesting for the Net Art and New Media My work as an artist, has always been focused on interventions that take place inside urban settlements, considered more as crossing points of different existences than as architectural or urbanistic spaces. The aim of my artistic work is to force people to reflection, upsetting their habits and social conventions, to insert the of doubt in the strict/tight texture of our everyday life. Those are exactly the reasons for which I have chosen the urban context, where the coactive mechanisms of everyday life become more evident: through my art I wish to urge people to experiment new ways of social interactions, to modify their perception of urban spaces, to live the town in a different way. On the web site “...”, is actually hosted one of my projects, entitled “Hey my friend, what’s the matter?”, in which I try to transform a dramatic and private experience into an invitation to reflection, urging visitors to express their opinion on the exposed facts. I think that “Hey my friends what’s the matter” is a strongly significant project, which, presented in the right manner, can involve a great number of people, .......to invade the city streets and their inhabitants’ houses. The idea I’d like to expose you is quite simple, and I wish it could be realized in more country Find a sponsoring firm interested in buying ad spaces on billboards or pages on newspaper and magazines and other wireless devices, on which should be published and see the starting image of the project, (YOU CAN SEE UP) with no other indication than the web site address of the sponsoring firm itself. The web site should then be linked, with a banner or a pop-up window, to the remaining pages of the project, so that the surfer will be able to visit the entire project and to express his/her personal opinion. It seems obvious to me that, by this way, the sponsoring firm could receive a great advantage, since every person who, after seeing the billboards or the pages on newspaper, wants to know more about it, is force to surf through the sponsoring firm web site. I am actually trying to realize this same project in Italy, and specifically in Rome, but, since “Hey my friend” was thought from the beginning as an international project, I wish it could be presented at least in different country. I hope that this idea can interest for the net art competition waiting for your answer, I send you my best regards, (c) Details of how the project will be realized, including what software/programming will be used.

Gulty or Innocent'? Pino Boresta from: Murphy to: Thingist An ethical dilemma as art? Well, maybe. But what caught my attention was the salutation "Hey my friend ..." because I hear it often at work from my European and Cuban co-workers. An American would never address another that way. A Quaker might address you as "Friend" but not "my friend". Where did this particular salutation come from and does it denote an ethical difference between American and other cultures? Or is it simply a matter of translation? murph offshoreonline

rael, netherlandsreminds

me of the story of Odile Redon. He was ashamed to look to the nude swimmer who was drowning, and turned his head. Terrible dilemma's. But I believe you can't actually save a human's live on that sort of circumstances. There is a game-element in the situatiuon where you ever loose. Got to do with (in)dependancy / autonomy. Imposant pictures.

Anca,

Romanianthe man climbed on top of the chimney to be seen, he wanted someone to stop him, he was looking for hope (as its in our nature). he is in a suburban middle class neighborhood,im sure whatever bugged him was fixable. its not a silver bullet because he is bored, and doesnt know what else to do with the beans. this man found out his wife was cheating on him and he probably works too damn hard to enjoy life. Verdict is guilty u uncompassionate slobwho is more interested in his dinner than a human life.

Christopher,

USIf you were placed in that situation as a witness, then you have to ask yourself if there are any coincidences. If you don't think so, then you have an obligation to act. Even if your interference in this man's action still caused his death, by fright or surprise, then at least you acted, you took part in the situation rather than being a fearful jellyfish retreating into your comforts. Then again, the man went to such an effort, climbing the roof, the chimney, and waited so long to do it, not taking himself out in a quick manner, maybe he wanted the element of performance and drama for his final end, and needed an audience. So you were meant to be there as an observer. In the end, guilty of fear, which is an easy judgement for an armchair jockey to make.

GUILTY You should not have shouted out of the window, because that may have given him a fright and he would have fallen off the chimney. But you should have called the police to let them know. Then THEY would have shouted up and given him such a fright that he would have fallen off.

Hi! I felt this both important and proper to you giving my response. I do not feel you are either guilty nor innocent, for this is not the issue as I see it. Rather the television has created a particular desensitizing, not particular to you, but all. So the beautiful world of true life suffers MANY trajedies while individuals give their priorities to T.V. I am sorry you felt estranged from your most vital present; instead giving a box your precious senses. The sadness is immense for all forms of indifference for reality giving the breath you breathe. The media cannot do this. Much love and true light for you and the male being giving choice to suffering. I am an artist on arteutile. I thank you for this opportunity of communication. My sadness is that it has arisen at the cost of life responsible enough to choose. Rosalie White

Innocent. Yes you may have had an effect on the situation BUT What if the person was playing with someone below, not intending suicide and your call frightened him and he then fell... Would not your guilt be greater? If you were late home for lunch and missed seeing him before the fall would you feel any responsibility?. Would you give the event a second thought, other than it happened in your neighbourhood? Why do we continually judge ourselves and others? regards rob

GUILTY
i am running towards a burning car on a two-lane highway somewhere in texas, and a fellow is standing there with a video-camera, he spins around to film me approaching, watching a miniature version of myself on a swiveled-out viewfinder. i ask him if there are any casualties, any survivors-- he says he doesn't know, still gazing down into his camera. i ask him if he has called 911-- no, he says, surprised that i would even mention him, suggest that he should have any part in this other than recording, to what end i do not know. for a moment we make eye contact-- perhaps i glare at him.


no bodies on the pavement, no signs of blood. black smoke is billowing out of the car's cabin, and i can't make-out if anybody's inside. i tell the man with the camera that he should step back a bit, because you never know if the gas-tank might blow, like in the movies-- in retrospect, i am unsure if i made this statement out of genuine concern for the man, or out of contempt.

he is still standing there when i jog away, back to my own car which is pulled-offed to the side of the road. my sister is in the front passenger seat, and is slightly hysterical-- she didn't want me to go anywhere near the burning car, because this happened only a few months after the WTC attacks in Manhattan, which she had witnessed from a distance of 1.6 miles away; don't get out of the car, she had shouted at me, I've been in this situation before and there's nothing you can do.

=====

i am being driven down a highway in saudi arabia-- this is many years later-- and i spot a white bundle, sprawled-out in the middle of a lane-- is it a body? am i looking at another body?

highway deaths are a regular feature of life here-- bodies slumped thru broken windshields, or else catapulted off the highway's edge into the desert sand, where they die of shock and exposure, waiting for an ambulance will only arrive much later, after the fact. the young men tell me that they occasionally speed thru red-lights, because "--everything is in the hands of Allah".

at first it shocks you, and then you grow numb.

but this is something different-- a body, a human being, abandoned to his fate on the concrete, without anybody even stopping to check on him? all of the cars are just... swerving around, not even slowing.

surely i must be mistaken-- surely it must be something other than a body-- just a cloth sack, easily mistaken for a man in the reddish brown dust that is always blowing out of the desert-- surely if it were a man somebody would have stopped, already-- surely i am mistaken--

these thoughts continue for another fifteen minutes or so, as our car turns off the highway,and proceeds along a two-lane road bordered by

bull-dozed desert, featureless except for the random bits of trash and concrete rubble that have been dumped there.

=====

i say GUILTY because we are all guilty of turning a blind eye to another person's suffering, at one time or another-- there are so many ways of turning our eyes blind, yes?

blinded by cameras; blinded by distance, class and culture; blinded by fear, and occasionally self-preservation; blinded by the moment's confusion; blinded by the dust that blows off of the desert, blinded by the gasoline smoke of burning wreck, blinded by words like "guilty" and "innocent".

Arsenale of Venice Biennial

A Subversive to the 53° Biennial exhibition in Venice

June 5th 2009 on the “Corriere del Veneto” Sara D’Ascenzo write:
"While Baratta was explained the wonder of the changes of this year, a cry tore the room of the theater of the Small Arsenal: "What I have to do to be invited to the Biennal? ", has shouted an artist (Pino Boresta ndr). Baratta has maintained the cold blood: "There will be in the future so many Biennial exhibitions, I am sure that you will find the right one".

June 6 th 2009 I have written to Baratta explaining that I don't look for a right Biennial to me but I look to a Biennale that must be right. Unfortunately this doesn't interest to him.
He never answered me back.

June 5th 2009 on her blog Asya Geisberg write
“During the Biennale’s press conference, Italian artist Pino Boresta interrupted with a blood-curdling scream of “what do I have to do to get into the Biennale?” before being escorted out by security.”

As Marco Baravalle says about of his book I can equally sustain that
“The art of subversive is the terrain on which Pino Boresta focuses is work. Without prejudice, in other words making sure it avoids any facile and illusory rejection of the system, and attempting to find new ways of interpreting, and new tactics to achieve independence and subversion.”
I have been sorry that Daniel Birnbaum despite the premises of his text written for the Biennial exhibition in Venice has not appreciated mine operated because as it says again Baravalle “There are people who work inside and out side the system, creating new conflicts and new ways of thinking of art and of the social relationships that regulate it, as well as its languages and its inherent objectives. Ultimately, the aim of art of subversive is primarily that of subverting some of our convictions with regard to contemporary art.

WHY NOT?

“Why not me to the Venice Biennial?” di Pino Boresta
ArtO'_International Art Fair in Open City 2009
Words and ideas
Sala Talks del Palazzo dei Congressi Roma EUR

12.00a.m. – 14.00p.m. Friday 3rd April 2009
With: Cecilia Casorati (art critic), Patrizia Mania (art historian, Università della Tuscia), Daniele Capra (art critic at Exibart), Barbara Martusciello (art critic), Marcello Carriero (art critic), Caterina Iaquinta (art historian), Giuliano Lombardo (artist), Coordinated by Pino Boresta.

As soon as entry I sat and immediately knock down with face on the desk. Following the example of the famous film "Rollerbool" I begin to whisper "Why not me to the Venice Biennial?, Why not me to the Venice Biennial?, Why not me to the Venice Biennial?" increasing little by little the volume up to scream. Suddenly I jumped on the table and straight on it I start shouting "I want a Biennaleeeeeee! I want a Biennaleeeeeee! I want a Biennaleeeeeee!" imitating the great actor Ciccio Ingrassia in the film Amarcord. Finished the blitz I go down and I start to moderate the conference after a fast interview of Soele that from the end of the room made to me several questions, to which I answered.



The purpose of this meeting has been to discuss a current and ever-fervent issue such as the concerning the selection of artists for the Venice Biennial, a topic inspired by my latest project Firma Boresta. Besides answering a legitimate question that I have asked myself – “Can a petition become a work of art?”

http://pinoboresta.blogspot.it/2008/11/petition-becomes-work-of-art.html 
other questions have vehemently emerged.
· Why will some artists, although being good, never take part in Venice Biennial?
· Should we submit to this state of things?
· May an artist apply to participate in a Venice Biennial or may he always pretend that he is not interested in it?
· Are there any alternative channels to the well known in the “art system” in order to apply for Venice Biennial?
· Is every decision already taken as soon as the director of the Venice Biennial has been decided? Or there is a margin of action?
· Does or does not artist’s work count in order to be invited to the Venice Biennial?
In addition to these, we have been the questions of the speakers, some of the present public and the yours that you can send at salepepe_99@yahoo.it to obtain a wide variety and richness of opinions useful for a possible future publication.

The petition becomes work of art:

A short story of “Firma Boresta” project

It happened in 1999. The Biennale exhibition in Venice - in that year Harald Szeemann was in charge "suppressed" the Italian Pavilion, who was conflated in the international exhibition, as part of the project of the Director, from the Corderie up to the Arsenale area. Italy, host country of the event, lost the possibility to compete for the prize to be assigned to the best pavilion. And, more importantly, Italy seemed to be definitively relegated to accepting the historical weight of a tradition that ties our country to a bright artistic past, but does not allow herself – a difficulty found in different fields – to become a driver of innovation. In 2005 the protest. An open letter - with many signatures, thanks to the collaboration of many cultural associations, administrators and art critics - was addressed to the President of the Foundation of the Biennale exhibition in Venice, David Croff. They wrote about the urgency of a national presence and the creation of a Commissioner to take charge of the Italy Pavilion.

In the middle of all this we saw an apparently contrarian request by Pino Boresta. A provocative, direct and sincere artist, he wrote in that year “of a contemporary italietta", a mediocre one, where the art system doesn't have the courage to reward who is really deserving. He asked, moreover, not to sign that appeal and, instead, to sign an appeal extolling his own production, more qualified to compete in the same Biennale exhibition. The last Biennale has shown nevertheless that the hopes of Pino Boresta have been denied, in spite of an Italian Pavilion that, debatable as it is, has been returned to its rightful place. But Boresta persists.

On Saturday 1^st December 2007 the artist inaugurated his second attempt: "Sign Boresta" is a campaign of signatures for his participation in the next Biennale exhibition. This time he gives priority to the real Piazza over the electronic one. He shows an ancient predilection for the traditional agorà, starting with those interventions on the urban texture that represent the strongest expression of his artistic bent. Stickers with a grimace or small Urban Rectified Documents are the two most meaningful examples of his irreverence. Boresta seems to want to dust off the legacy of a Marcel Broodthaers, when he chooses to make the art a vector of consensus, when the Belgian artist used it as a vehicle of cultural approval, bypassing the official institutions or rather, emulating them in mock imitation.

The Boresta project reveals itself as a desecrating reading on the last trends of doing politics, from the local participation to an interaction vis-à-vis the signatories of the petition. It is to be presumed, as far as the latter are concerned, that they have little to do with the matter of "inclusion" in the system of contemporary art.

A second part of his work has been shown in the premises of the association: a Net art project called “No-Logo C.U.S.” has been presented: the really personal brand has been made very visible. Pino Boresta ties the visual account of one of his interventions "Look for a Face and it Use it" (L.F.U.) to some passages from the "No Logo" book by Naomi Klein, the "bible of the anti globalization movement". From the citizen that signs his protest to the ‘netizen’ who visits the site in which the No-Logo C.U.S. project will continue to exist, Boresta doesn't leave out anybody.
