La Cura at God is green
La Cura at God is green
To coincide with the God is green… and lives in the Cascine festival, the artists in residence were asked to design posters starting from a reflection on the word green.
Each of them worked without restrictions on this theme to create six original graphics that were subsequently printed in poster format and distributed in thousands of free copies to the public at the event.
Yellow + Blue
Mohsen Baghernejad Moghanjooghi
2018
off-set print on paper, 70x100cm
The poster came out of an installation project on the concept of distance, typically, for the artist,
using the medium of writing. The work consists of two words, blue and yellow, written on two walls,
one in front of the other, to present a dimension of green. The artist presented a sketch of this
installation for the green event poster.
One morning I didn't wake up
Matteo Coluccia
2018
off-set print on paper, 70x100cm
The artist took a funeral poster and wrote out the first two lines of the popular song Bella Ciao,
adding the adverb ‘non’ to negate the sentence. It is a way of not forgetting to contemplate the
things we find in the world. An invitation to act.
Cézanne's parrot
Stefano Giuri
2018
off-set print on paper, 70x100cm
This poster developed out of the idea of trying to bring together the greenest images from the
collective imagination. In its most common meaning, green represents ecological. Through the
invention of Cézanne, the parrot masked the toxicity of the green the he had used to paint it.
You can't go green on...
Lori Lako
2018
off-set print on paper, 70x100cm
The four frames which make up this poster are taken from a video of the same title. The enlarged
frames show a football pitch but without any of the players or the ball, stripping the game of its
socio-political dimension and leaving the viewer with just a green pitch and white lines.
God is Green
Gioele Pomante
2018
off-set print on paper, 70x100cm
In handwriting, the phrase God is green is written over the self-portrait photo of the Curiosity
rover on Mars, which was in search of life on the red planet. Provocation and ambiguity, a
dialectical game between image and text that attempts to de-contextualize the subject and to
rethink the terms of a different mission, one of existence itself.
So long.
Tatiana Stropkaiová
2018
off-set print on paper, 70x100cm
This poster takes its inspiration from the English phrase So Long, which is often used as a way of
saying goodbye. The author blends the photographed image, taken up against a train window, with
this phrase, thinking of the dialogue that is established between a spectator inside and the space outside.
