* The exhibition will be open to the public from Thursday, June 29 to Saturday, July 1, from 18 to 20 at the Sala del Silenzio in Vicolo Bolognetti 2, Bologna .*
Tom de Pekin, artist, illustrator, graphic designer and director the queer scene in Paris exhibit for the first time in Bologna, in the Sala del Silenzio in Vicolo Bolognetti, his collection of work entitled "Queer Propaganda."
Tom de Pekin appropriates, reviews and traditional art of propaganda posters of the early twentieth century, but as a manifesto of propaganda based on a complaint that seeks to provoke a reaction, to promote a way of thinking, acting, Tom posters are "celebrations" that lead to reflect on the speeches and the ways of representation summoned, cited, reassembled. Translations icon (clasts)-queer, but in turn mythopoeic, whose network, in the manner of Duchamp, as the Maoist propaganda fall, as the folklore Savoy, the dildo realistics, gagliardietti and flags from around the world, as well as wrestlers catch Mexican and Japanese. And Elvis Presley.
The posters made by Tom de Pekin generate repertoires of positive images, games and community demands for LGBTQ (Lesbian Trans Queer Gays Bis), which are based on a critical work within the iconography of pop culture. Articulating a new iconography of mass: mass minority.
and claiming, as an artist, his very serious right not to be serious, located both in the intelligence picture and farce.
