SybinQ Art Projects: The Bay Window Project: Davide D'Elia

The Bay Window Project continues to be an opportunity for young and established artists to create a site-specific work in uncommon settings. Beyond the white-cube display, the artwork forcefully enters the private sphere of a flat to be seen by an extemporaneous, unaware public. The aim is to map the evolution of site-specific art in a non-institutional environment. Davide D’Elia produces works that often re-value modern aesthetic graphic terminology by presenting itself beyond object and objectivity. He very much focuses on the vocabulary of the neglected and the degraded. By for example artificially creating the conditions for mould to grow, he bends the flow of time to his needs and questions the viewer about the process behind it. This creates what he had decided to be an object of art out of the spontaneous hands of nature. When Davide D’Elia first surveyed the bay window, all we were talking about was the way he works with mould, creating the conditions for it to grow spontaneously. For all the duration of the process, which requires high humidity condition and a meticulous chemical practice, he likes to live the environment he is going to contaminate, disrupting its normal function, violating the immaculate white gallery walls and leaving baffled visitors wondering about effective methods to efface mould. Being related with a different kind of environment – that is, the private dimension of an already inhabited flat, D’Elia had chosen a different kind of process; the negotiation with both the curator and the occasional viewer from the street. The fact that he couldn’t live the environment he was going to intervene into, led him to invent a parallel space based on the effects of warm and cold light, daylight and darkness. modus vivendi . Our micro-domestic world relates with the outside by transmitting signals, both territorial and individual, to passers by who can decide to receive, or ignore, such signals.” Playing around with the few elements available to him – a plant, a table with elements on it, old vertical blinds and bits and pieces of ordinary life’s accumulation, he created Who is sybin? sybin is not an artist; sybin is not a criptic critic; sybin is not a gallery. sybin moved from Rome to London, aiming to promote and support contemporary art through the organisation of shows. SybinQ Art Projects is a space with no physical place where this happens.
