Concept: Cesare Pietroiusti

Artworks that ideas can buy is an exhibition in a booth, very much like all the others in the fair, in which about 20 artists of different generations and poetic styles each display an artwork. But the creations are not on sale in exchange for money but for ideas. Visitors can leave their comments, opinions, proposals, criticism or suggestions regarding any of the works on show. Then, as happens in some auctions, the ideas, still in closed envelopes, will be put into a box and opened only at the end of the fair. The artists/authors will decide whether any of the ideas put forward by visitors  is ”worth” their piece of art. If so, the artist will except the exchange and the visitor will become the owner of the work. If, on the other hand, the artist decides that no idea is up to his/her work, it will not change hands.

Born in Rome in 1955, visual artist Cesare Pietroiusti has founded and coordinated many research centres, projects and conferences on art. Trained as a psychiatrist, Pietroiusti has always been interested in paradoxical or apparently irrational situations commonly considered “too insignificant to become the basis for analysis or representation”.
