The future rises with each dawn
[Team]
The future is born at every dawn, and this is the inaugural moment of the public presentation of the Vasco Collection.
Rather than existing in the present, with a stable form and a defined body, the collection projects itself into the future, envisioning itself as an endless exercise in imagination and desire. At the same time, while much private collecting with institutional aspirations aims to define, in the present moment, which past will be important for the future, Vasco Collection understands collecting as the self-expression of an individual subjectivity and, as such, subject to inflections, advances, setbacks, hesitations, but also unquestionable certainties. Far from presenting itself as an exhaustive and definitive approach to the collection, the exhibition starts thematically from the representation of the human figure, both through its presence and absence, and from ideas of representation and identity, to trace a journey that is equal parts sensitive and critical, where the human body is presented in constant transformation.
