Exhibited at Wunderkammern Rome for the first time, artworks by great masters who have marked contemporary art history, thanks to their will to think outside the box: Tomaso Binga (Salerno, Italy,1931); Paolo Buggiani (Castelfiorentino, Italy, 1933); Keith Haring (Reading, USA, 1958-1990); Richard Hambleton (Vancouver, Canada, 1954-2017) and Ken Hiratsuka (Shimodate, Japan, 1959). Art revolution: that is the motto Paolo Buggiani has appropriated by indelibly impressing it on his skin with a tattoo. For the Tuscan artist, revolution is a necessary act to change a static situation, an explosive gesture whose final aim is to bring progress. Rebellion, thought as a subversion of a static order, is the driving force for every artist featured in the show. Artworks exhibited in Long live the revolution are connected with each other by a scheme which repeats with different procedures: they are thought to surprise viewers, to astonish them by catching their attention, leading them to a reflection and, in a desirable way, to a felt and deep awareness of the necessity of change.
