A new show, under the banner of Street Art, arrives at PAN of Naples with an artist that we have already been able to admire when the Lungomare became a canvas. 27st January, the exhibition “IABO 20th. Anthological Exhibition 2003/2023. Street art/Paintings/Installations/Videos“. It will be an event at free entry which will welcome visitors until 9 March 2023 (extended until 9 April 2023)
Lo space set up at the PAN of Naples, revolutionized, will aim to to collect in a single exhibition space the history of the latter 20 years of activity of IABO to highlight everything that has represented a fundamental stage in his artistic career.
How the IABO exhibition is structured
The exhibition develops in well seven rooms, therefore hundreds of square meters exhibition, where dozens of walls will be set up with the works of IABO. The PAN becomes a sort of extension of the artist's studio.
IABO boldly used words "anthological exhibition" to explain his exposition and had just as much audacity to express himself within a historical building at an institutional going to completely transform the exhibition space.
Who is IABO, chameleonic popularizer
IABO it's a artist which escapes Labels and the definitions. With a background as a writer, he has developed a nature impregnable continually adapting to situations. We can call it a chameleon popularizer, which is dedicated to the horizontal and democratic dialectic of art.
For him, art is ecology, understood as the reuse of resources creative. Instead of trying to add something new to the existing one, IABO prefers to explore and proceed by subtraction. His language it is immediately decodable, since the semantic component is conveyed through a widely diffused and recognizable semiotic.
Thus art becomes one dissemination tool, not demagogic but egalitarian, and the relationship between medium and message it is perceived in functional rather than aesthetic or conceptual terms.
IABO uses a universal alphabet and versatile to bridge distances, weave relationships and trigger reactions, interpreting our time through a continuous process of de-structuring and recomposing. Its strength and innovation lie precisely in this ability to interpret.
Exhibition extended due to great success
The organizers of IABO20TH announced that the show was extended up to 9th April. From January 27 to today, the number of participants was remarkable, with the presence of visitors, students and other people who participated in the events and meetings organized.
La great participation of the public has certainly brought satisfaction and enthusiasm to the direction of the exhibition, who was enthusiastic about continuing this adventure.
