Postmodern was Andrea Mastrovito's first public solo exhibition.
Invited by Andrea Bruciati, curator of the GCAC in Monfalcone, to create a large installation in the spaces of the Galleria Comunale, the city's former market, Mastrovito invented a veritable paper museum, given the complexity of the space.
Leaning on the metal columns that characterize the architecture of the Gallery, the artist and his staff built real paper walls using hundreds of 100 x 70 cm sheets of Fabriano paper.
Once the new paper exhibition space was completed, Mastrovito ‘invited’ 16 artists to fill the various rooms, taking inspiration from the works of these sixteen artists and creating paper versions that were closely related to the new paper rooms. The ‘invited’ artists were: Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Lucio Fontana, Alighiero Boetti, Katsushika Hokusai, Joseph Beuys, Caspar David Friedrich, Renè Magritte, Edouard Manet, Andy Warhol, Aubrey Beardsley, Pipilotti Rist, Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Damien Hirst, Maurizio Cattelan, and Kasimir Malevic.
