MAN continued its dialogue with the territory and with the city of Nuoro through the project Tailor-made art . Born from the idea of ​​a museum as a possible widespread place of creation and meeting, Tailor-made art invited 5 Sardinian artists to create a work for the window of one of the main clothing stores in the city, the Sotgiu Store.

Vincenzo Pattusi 23 February – 14 March: Linked to the manual skill of making art, the artist paints on every type of support drawing his inspiration from everyday life and popular culture, from comics, as well as from experimental cinema. In a sort of virtual database it continuously acquires and re-elaborates information that comes from the most disparate channels. He presents his work as a sort of monumental tapestry that reveals belonging to the world of writers, but also the link with the Sardinian tradition, visible in the decorative motifs of fabrics and patterns that form the backdrop to the figures.

Giulia Casula 22 March – 11 April Through the creation of photographic works, videos and installations, the artist represents the visual suggestions of her daily life. It alienates the viewer, with the intention of making them relive a personal experience, that distant memory that emerges in the mind during half-sleep through confused sensations without detail. It’s the sensation of deja-vu, in which familiarity and estrangement mix. His works are territorial and conceptual investigations, reflections on time and memory, reconstructed in an aesthetic and poetic form of social criticism.

Vincenzo Grosso 19 April – 9 May He is interested in street art and writing. His research focuses on the sign which he investigates by experimenting with different found materials and objects, wood, plastic. It assembles, transforms, defines and brings together elements, giving life to a particular archeology of the future. Each sign is a fragment, part of an unfathomable and invisible whole. His latest pictorial works focus attention on post-architecture and the possible consequences of the excesses of the modern world.

Rita Correddu 17 May – 6 June She focuses her research on observing reality to suggest, through delicate underlining, with minimal interventions that are sometimes ephemeral or destined to vanish, becoming confused, new possibilities of action and vision. He investigates the expressive forms of human experience, where personal and collective memory manifests itself, through ancient and present stories, real or imagined. Sounds, images, spoken and written words support a research that starts from the place, a place of reflection, a public place, a work spread across time and space: a variation on the idea of ​​a contemporary monument.

Alessandro Biggio 14 June – 4 July The artist’s starting point for his work are physical imperfections, waste materials or materials that have become functionless, all elements in which there is a strong autobiographical or affective component. The objective, however, is not to preserve its memory but to graft onto it another hypothesis of reality. Like a new construction that rests on rubble, in sculptures as in installations, his work finds its meaning in this precariousness.
