JOHN BOCK
"Inside Beyond"
April 28 - May 25, 2008
The 28th of April Giò Marconi gallery will inaugurate John Bock’s exhibition, Inside Beyond.
It’s a very articulated project, where the artist, at his second solo-show at the gallery (the first one was in 2003), will execute an opening performance, and will show sculptures and drawings.
John Bock will turn the ground floor of the gallery into a great display for his Performance , or Lecture as he prefers to define it.
It’s his first Lecture after the one executed in Miami in 2006 and it will last all through the opening: the spectator crossing a cylindrical door and going through narrow tunnels similar to human body’s arteries, will make contact with the artist, who will do a series of performance, during which he will disappear for some moments.
In another room of the gallery will be set up an experimental film/performance, made by eight projections that make references to a previous performance by John Bock and two actresses set in his studio and in the open air.
The exhibition will present, besides the installation and the performances, also two films made by the artist, The Palms and Inside Beyond, and a series of preparatory drawings and two sculptures.
John Bock, after having experimented the narrative language in his late works, with this solo-show comes back to his performer nature.
