The Mart Signed Museum
For years the Where Are You Street Art? project told the journey of street art through authentic fragments of urban walls, symbolically bringing the street inside homes, galleries and private collections.
With this new series comes The Mart Signed Museum, a natural evolution of my artistic research.
I asked myself what happens to a work when it finds its final placement. A museum protects it, preserves it, and hands it to the future, but at the same time it restrains it. Can it remain hung on the same wall for decades, watched by millions of people, without being able to continue its journey?
From this reflection comes the idea of a museum in which some works symbolically choose to escape. Each piece appears as a fragment torn directly from the museum wall. It is not only the work that is taken away, but also a part of the wall that housed it, transforming the museum itself into an integral part of the work.
Each collector does not merely purchase a painting, but an authentic fragment of the Mart Signed Museum, becoming the next stop in their journey.
The work
With The Real Proposal, a marriage proposal is presented as a museum artwork. An intimate and personal gesture becomes a universal asset, reminding us that some moments have a value that exceeds time.
The damascened wall, the frame, the museum label and the 'No photography' sign are not mere decorative elements, but part of the artwork itself. The sign invites reflection on a society increasingly accustomed to photographing every moment. Some moments, however, deserve to be lived above all.
Materials and authenticity
The natural imperfections, marks and dings of the materials are not defects, but an integral part of the artwork. They tell their story and contribute to making each piece unique.
The work is delivered ready to be hung and comes with the certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
The artist
