Who writes against the patron of Cagliari Tommaso Giulini, who insults oppressed social categories, who covers everything in black.
Claims and insults fill the walls of the Salt Gallery, the first open-air contemporary art in Cagliari : a museum that collects murals created over the years by internationally renowned artists.
Nine works have been ruined , such as that of Lorenzo Murgia, a young talent from the island: "The fact that my work has been painted black doesn't bother me too much - he comments - I like the idea of layering and updating, simply what I don't understand is both the criterion and the leads to cover in black, both that leads to cover some writings, others not ".
Involved in 2021 to paint on a complex surface such as that of the stairs that connect the stadium to the pedestrian crossing that arrives from the fair, Murgia is the first of a series of artists who will soon be involved in the renovation of the works .
"We will try to give an artistic destination to those walls and not political propaganda or fans - explains Daniele Gregorini, curator of the Gallery - but we do not want to condemn those who promise themselves eternal love on a wall, rather to think and push for reflection around the concept of the wall. as a common good: when you choose to work on a wall, we invite anyone to think around the fact that that place belongs to everyone, you need to be aware of the collective impact of each action; over time we have had various interactions with the works, even of people without fixed dwelling have chosen with a felt-tip pen to dialogue with some murals. The artist's intention - concludes Gregorini - is to make a work for humanity, it is almost an altruistic act, consequently I would ask myself what is the community impact of that kind of written and black censorship. Why was this done? ".
