<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">With the solo show ‚Overexposed' by conceptual artist Paolo
Cirio, the art gallery NOME initiates its exhibition programme
on 22 May 2015. </font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">NOME operates between the realms of art, politics, and
technology. By exploring the nodes of the entanglements
between these fields, the gallery aims to raise critical
awareness regarding the crucial issues facing our age.</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">The gallery represents international emerging and
mid-career artists such as James Bridle, Jacob Appelbaum,
Matthew Plummer-Fernandez, Ralf Baecker and Nils Völcker whose
works have already been shown at major art institutions like
MoMA New York, Victoria and Albert Museum London and ZKM
Karlsruhe. </font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Their practices engage diverse disciplines including
computer science, writing and visual communication, and
involve a broad range of media. </font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">‚Overexposed', the first exhibition at NOME shows artworks
by renowned artist Paolo Cirio (*1979) noted for his
controversial work conceptually exploring various issues in
fields like economy, democracy, privacy, transparency and
copyright while revealing innovative and multiple aesthetics
of exceptional quality and timeliness. </font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">His artworks have been shown at prestigious institutions
such as Victoria and Albert Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art
of Denver, Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and honoured by Ars
Electronica with the Golden Nica in 2014. </font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="verdana, sans-serif">NOME will present the results of his public intervention
disseminating unauthorized pictures of high-ranking U.S.
intelligence officials throughout global cities through
Stencil HD graffiti. Cirio finds snapshots of NSA, CIA, and
FBI officers through social media hacks. He then spray-paints
high-resolution reproductions of their embarrassing photos
onto public walls, using Cirio’s HD Stencil graffiti
technique.</font></div>
