<div dir="ltr">Dear friends & colleagues,<br><br>I'm glad to curate/present "SAMO© IS DEAD. PRESS PLAY" by COLL.EO at the <span>Widget</span> Art <span>Gallery</span> <a href="http://www.chiarapassa.it/TheWidgetArtGallery.html" target="_blank">http://www.chiarapassa.it/TheWidgetArtGallery.html</a> on IPhone, IPad and OSX-Dashboard. June 09 - July 10 2014.<br>
<br>About the exhibition:"SAMO© IS DEAD. PRESS PLAY"<br><br>In 1978, a wave of graffiti appeared in downtown Manhattan in the form of wall texts about and or signed by SAMO©.<br>Thirty six years later, the avatar of Jean-Michel Basquiat* is back with a vengeance and a spray can, doomed to replay the past, within the spaces of the WAG, the premier art gallery in Liberty City.<br>
<br>This is not appropriation. <br><br>This is GRAND THEFT ART.<br><br>COLL.EO, 2014<br><br>* No, not Oscar Murillo. The "real" Basquiat. <br><br>COLL.EO is a collaboration between Colleen Flaherty and Matteo Bittanti established in 2012. COLL.EO currently operates between San Francisco and the deep end. <br>

<br>About the WAG:<br><br>The “WAG" is a mini 3-dimensional, single room <span>gallery</span>
that fits into people pocket 'cause I've developed it for IPhone, IPod
Touch and I Pad. Every month, directly on audience mobile, The “WAG”
hosts a solo digital art exhibition related to the dynamic site-specific
contest. So, the <span>Widget</span> Art <span>Gallery</span>
works both as a sort of kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and as a
permanent collections museum because it conserves all the past
exhibitions inside an online archive. For IPhone and IPod touch, just
copy this url <a href="http://www.chiarapassa.it/wag/mobile/" target="_blank">http://www.chiarapassa.it/wag/mobile/</a>
in Safari and choose: “add to home” and the WAG's icon will be saved on
your IPhone. Do the same for IPad but paste this other URL: <a href="http://www.chiarapassa.it/wagipad/mobile/" target="_blank">http://www.chiarapassa.it/wagipad/mobile/</a>, or download the <span>widget</span> version for Mac osx dashboard at: <a href="http://www.chiarapassa.it/TheWidgetArtGallery.html" target="_blank">http://www.chiarapassa.it/TheWidgetArtGallery.html</a><br>
