“Liberi Tutti! Art and Society in Italy, 1989-2001” is the title of the exhibition running from 9 July at the MEF, Museo Ettore Fico in Turin. The exhibition, promoted and organized by MEF, is an historical voyage in the Italian near-contemporary art panorama between two crucial events: the fall of the Berlin Wall and the September 11 attacks in New York and Washington D.C. These two dates represent the symbolic extremes of a period of time marked by substantial social, political and economic changes: the advent of digital culture, the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the ever-growing success of globalization, the increasing awareness of climate change and sustainability, the attention to lesser-known cultures from geographical areas hitherto marginal.

Flavio Favelli (b.1967) develops his art practice through the intimate and personal relationship that he establishes with objects, images and furniture that he ceaselessly collects in flea markets and vintage dealers around Italy. He assembles and disassembles, cuts and mounts diverse objects and pieces of furniture creating an aesthetically dense universe loaded with melancholic beauty. The resulting objects and installations are charged with emotional, personal and cryptical suggestions that allow a subtle form of poetry to emerge. His large collages of stamps and postcards mounted in vintage frames, the patchworks of carpets and curtains seem to record in a personal way the passage of time, creating a very individual synthesis between painting, sculpture and installation.
