Dear friends & colleagues,
I'm glad to curate/present "SAMOÂ IS DEAD. PRESS PLAY" by COLL.EO at the
Widget Art
Gallery http://www.chiarapassa.it/TheWidgetArtGallery.html on IPhone, IPad and OSX-Dashboard. June 09 - July 10 2014.
About the exhibition:"SAMOÂ IS DEAD. PRESS PLAY"
In 1978, a wave of graffiti appeared in downtown Manhattan in the form of wall texts about and or signed by SAMOÂ.
Thirty
six years later, the avatar of Jean-Michel Basquiat* is back with a
vengeance and a spray can, doomed to replay the past, within the spaces
of the WAG, the premier art gallery in Liberty City.
This is not appropriation.
This is GRAND THEFT ART.
COLL.EO, 2014
* No, not Oscar Murillo. The "real" Basquiat.
COLL.EO
is a collaboration between Colleen Flaherty and Matteo Bittanti
established in 2012. COLL.EO currently operates between San Francisco
and the deep end.

About the WAG:
The âWAG" is a mini 3-dimensional, single room
gallery
that fits into people pocket 'cause I've developed it for IPhone, IPod
Touch and I Pad. Every month, directly on audience mobile, The âWAGâ
hosts a solo digital art exhibition related to the dynamic site-specific
contest. So, the
Widget Art
Gallery
works both as a sort of kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and as a
permanent collections museum because it conserves all the past
exhibitions inside an online archive. For IPhone and IPod touch, just
copy this url
http://www.chiarapassa.it/wag/mobile/
in Safari and choose: âadd to homeâ and the WAG's icon will be saved on
your IPhone. Do the same for IPad but paste this other URL:
http://www.chiarapassa.it/wagipad/mobile/, or download the
widget version for Mac osx dashboard at:

Best regards, Chiara.
