Walking on the Fade out Lines (works from Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection)
Curators: Larys Frogier, Hsieh Feng-Rong
I heard about Patrizia Sandretto and her collection, so it was a chance no to miss. During preparatory reading I caught myself on the feeling that this exhibition in general can be about everything. Twenty-three artists with thirty artworks.

“…constructive contradictions between artistic forms, cultural contexts, social challenges.” (Larys Frogier, curatorial statement)
On the first floor big tired bear meeting you by Paola Pivi, on the wall 12 meters massive tapestry which tends to analyze the influence that design has on art creation (Pae White). On the background is a Nocturnal City Scene by Mark Manders – dramatic and scary, life abandoned city after fire or Pompeii could look like that right after unearthing.

At the end of the room in separate darkened space is portrait on canvas by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.
I could even like separate ideas and art works but after big enjoyment with fluffy bear I see the consequences of Vesuvius, so my emotions overlapping by controversial feelings.
Damien Hirst (1994) Love is Great. Detail. [Painting] [Rockbund Art Museum, 23rd May 2018]
On the second and third floor a positive Damien Hirst with 'Love is Great', Sarah Lucas trying “to challenge still-popular gender stereotypes”, Marine Hugonnier “travels to Afghanistan”, Maurizio Cattelan “the game underscored tensions between the different racial and political allegiances” (accompanying material for the exhibition) and so on.
Overall probably I would enjoyed more this wonderful collection if presentation would not be so controversial and dissociated. But one work The Muriel Lake Incident I liked especially by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, because it made me spend more than 5 minutes in front of this exponent and think about “multi-sensorial experiences” (accompanying material for the exhibition). This is what makes work different, I believe.
