BAR SPORT
2024, site-specific installation and happening at @space_n.n
with the support of @federica_porro and @zenoporro
Bar Sport reflects on recent global socio-political situations through the bar ecosystem, recreating within the exhibition space the atmosphere of a sports bar where the artists’ culture of origin meets that of the host city. The group invades the gallery with a site-specific installation and a happening, cutting the distance between art and everyday life, allowing the creation of a place of confrontation and dialogue.
Reflecting on the military reminiscences of which football is imbued right during the time of the European Championships in Germany, a space of encounter/clash is created, in which the elements that normally define one’s identity, such as choruses, colours and fantasies, are remixed to give life to a new, possible but non-existent team. Mirroring the different methods of meeting and cultural exchange that characterise the human movements of contemporary society, Bar Sport is proposed as a moment of entertainment, clash and encounter within a popular dimension in which the collective recognises itself as a non-culturally identified individual.
