Comunicato stampa
Choisi – one at a time ha il piacere di annunciare l'appuntamento mensile con Artphilein Collection on display.
Da domenica 2 febbraio, presso lo spazio Choisi – one at a time sarà in visione il video di Maria Friberg, Commoncause (2008), dalla collezione di Artphilein Foundation.
In Commoncause Maria Friberg indaga le problematiche sociali di masse di persone, senza raffigurarne i corpi. L’artista avvolge in velluto nero 300 palloni da pallacanestro, parzialmente afflosciati, e li lascia rotolare dalla scalinata del Museo Nazionale di Stoccolma
L’involucro di velluto richiama gli abiti scuri che l’artista solitamente richiede ai suoi performers di indossare e consente di trasformare i palloni in una folla indifferenziata di unità quasi individuali, con l’intento di evocare i movimenti di persone ammassate sulle scale di una metropolitana o all'uscita di un teatro.
L’enigmatico movimento è accompagnato dal suono reale dell’evento, che ricorda dei tuoni in lontananza o una fuga precipitosa, metafore di tipologie di pensieri di massa e di attività, alle quali l’artista intende alludere.
Maria Friberg (Malmö, 1966) vive e lavora a Stoccolma.
I suoi lavori appartengono a diverse collezioni pubbliche quali: Fotomuseum Winterthur, Winterthur; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC; E. A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York; National Public Art Council, Stoccolma; Museo Fortuny, Venezia; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Moderna Museet, Stoccolma; Nationalmuseum, Stoccolma; Malmö Konstmuseum, Malmö; e collezioni private tra cui: Artphilein Foundation; Ringier Collection, Zurigo; DG Bank, Francoforte; The Buhl Collection, New York; Dr. Thomas Olbricht, Essen; Rosen Collection, New York.

In Commoncause Maria Friberg looks at the social problems and promise presented by masses of humans–without depicting any obviously human bodies. She wrapped 300 half-deflated basketballs in black velvet and rolled them down the steps of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. Their dark covering, which is similar to her costuming device of dressing her performers in dark suits, turns the balls into an undifferentiated mass of quasi-unique units, much like a hoard of people riding the subway or exiting a theater.
The mysterious motion is accompanied by the sound of the actual event, which is reminiscent of distant thunder or a stampede, both of which are apt metaphors for the types of group-thought and activities that the artist intends this black avalanche to conjure.
