About Me

operate as 'ironic activists' - since 1997 subsuming their individual creative identities and promising an artistic philosophy of '100% No Genius'. In a diverse range of projects employing performance, installation, video, and photography, they have turned their attentions toward the staples of the western art tradition, overturning mythologies surrounding our consumption and representation of the body and nature. goldiechiari are Sara Goldschmied and Elonora Chiari. Based in Rome, Italy, their recent projects have been seen at Gagosian Gallery, Berlin;Spencer Brownstone gallery, N.Y.; Viafarini, Milan; and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin. This year, their solo exhibition 'Enjoy', at Elaine Levy Project in Brussels, was accompanied by the publication of a book, and in 2005, they completed a major public art project for the Fondazione Andriano Olivetti, Rome . . . .

On 19th October 2006 in the context of the on-going exhibition Group Therapy, Contemporary Art Museum, “Museion” (Bolzano, Italy) curated by Letizia Ragaglia, the installation of the women artists duo goldiechiari has been seized by the Public Prosecutor, due to a complaint lodged by some representatives of the rightist party Alleanza Nazionale, who sued out contempt for the national anthem. At this point the work risks no longer being allowed to be exhibited in public, and the artists are investigated for a penal crime. The sound installation Imagined border (2006) combines the music theme of the Italian national anthem with the sound of several toilet flushes. The audio-recording is switched on by a sensor whenever a visitor passes through the Museum entrance. As in some previous works by goldiechiari, the aim is to debunk the officiousness as well as the sacredness related to the national anthem through the usage of everyday sounds. “For Museion the two artists have conceived a sound installation, which is part of a recent research into shared experiences that give rise to the concept of nation” (L. Ragaglia). This case of censorship could set a dangerous precedent as a restriction of artists’ freedom. Who will decide what is allowed and what is not in the next art show? goldiechiari
