POTHOLES: Davide Luciano et Claudia Ficca

At Galerie D’Avignon from the 8 to 22 of September 2011

Opening reception Wednesday September 14 at 5pm - 7pm

AFTER-PARTY at Baldwin Barmacy 115 Avenue Laurier Ouest

Galerie D’Avignon is pleased to feature the work of artists Davide Luciano and Claudia Ficca as September’s guest exhibition. They will be presenting their wildly successful series Potholes. 

Potholes is a series of photographs depicting the concave street cracks and holes as a collection of imaginative tableaux in the city. Captured within the backdrops of Montreal, Toronto, Los Angeles, and New York City, the sets explore the urban flaws as a playground creating a multitude of uses out of the potholes. Directly engaging the street, the city, the highly imaginative series transforms the bad into good, creating a tongue-in-cheek collection that is at once contextual and surreal. 

Photographers Davide Luciano and Claudia Ficcaʼs Potholes series have seen their work exhibited throughout Canada and the US. They have received international media attention, most recently appearing in Vanity Fair, Le Monde and The Telegraph amongst other world publications. Both artists have received and award of excellence by Ms. Megan Fontanella, curator at the Guggenheim Museum NYC.

Potholes est une série de photographies représentant les failles et cavités des chaussés de diverses métropoles de manière a créé des tableaux imaginatifs et ingénieux. Avec Montréal, Toronto, Los Angeles et New York comme toile de fond, les différentes scènes explorent les défauts de la ville de sorte à désigner une nouvelle vocation insolite pour chaque nid-de-poule. Mettant en vedette la rue et la ville, cette oeuvre hautement créative transforme le négatif en positif, laissant place à une collection ironique à la fois contextuelle et surréelle.
