Teresa Margolles Frontera
"Frontera" reflects on the dramatic scale of drug trafficking in Mexican society. The artist has used basic but very striking elements to create the works in "Frontera", and despite their minimalist style, they reveal great emotional depth and tragedy. The works go beyond the specific context that gave rise to them, with a universal value that explores our mechanisms of denial and the taboos still surrounding death and violence in contemporary society. The Museion exhibition features walls where executions took place, that the artist took down in Mexico and rebuilt in Bolzano—Muro Baleado (Culiacán), 2009, and Muro Ciudad Juárez, 2010—along with the works Plancha, 2010 and Cubo, 2010, a minimalist cube weighing a ton made out of iron from reinforced concrete taken from demolished buildings. The Bolzano exhibition will also be the first opportunity to see the filmed action Camiseta, created specially for "Frontera" and shot in the cities of Juarez, Kassel and Bolzano.
Vincent Ganivet
Roue
Vincent Ganivet creates works from raw materials, from everyday objects and phenomena diverted from their initial function: the domestic water damage becomes a fountain, a firecracker giving brith to a mural painting... Just as in a magic trick, the objects reveal their secret lives: the banal becomes beautiful and the accidental poetic. A 2003 graduate of the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, Vincent Ganivet regularly exhibits his monumental works in France, in the Modules at Palais de Tokyo in 2007 and 2009 amongst other places, and abroad. His work recently entered the collections of the Fnac as well as the Frac Ile-de-France and Frac Poitou-Charentes. With the Palais de Tokyo’s support, he notably participated in the last edition of “Platform”, an artistic event of great scope at Seoul.

Mauro Perucchetti
Mauro Perucchetti’s work unites Pop aesthetics with social comment, addressing some of the most pressing and difficult issues in today’s society in a way that is subtle and accessible, without being trite, shocking or obscure. Mauro is above all an artist who is connected; he sees the bigger picture and world affairs and has his finger on the pulse of contemporary society.

Inspired by nature, science and the Apocalypse, the Glory Scarfs show a spectacular display of colour, pattern and mathematics.
An evolution from our previous ranges of hand dyed scarfs, each one is a mathematically valid fractal, painstakingly created by entering a series of numbers and equations into a computer, creating a potentially infinite variety of form, colour and detail bringing the skill and technique of handcraft into the digital age.
This process means each individual scarf is based upon a completely unique equation and can never be replicated. As in nature, a rare organic creation digitally captured.

Alterazioni Video members describe themselves as a platform which combines art with a social and an alternative function of the new electronic media. Culture jammers, neo-situationists and media-activists, the members of Alterazioni Video infiltrate - camouflaged - through the meshes of Society ready to highjack messages and information of the official communication stepping from one medium to another: from street art to web space, from D.J. live sets to physics laboratories, from urban enquiries to the production of community T.V.
Alterazioni Video are: Paololuca Barbieri Marchi, Alberto Caffarelli, Matteo Erenbourg, Andrea Masu and Giacomo Porfiri.
