Mart Signed - TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING - IL TROPPO STROPPIA

The Mart Signed Museum Technique: Spray stencil and mixed media on recovered materials, in this way to guarantee the originality of street art Dimensions: Approximately 60 × 120 cm (approximate measurements, due to the irregular shape of the wall fragment). Edition: Unique edition. Certificate of authenticity: Included and signed by the artist. The Mart Signed Museum For years the project Where Are You Street Art? has told the journey of street art through authentic fragments of urban walls, symbolically bringing the street inside homes, galleries and private collections. With this new series The Mart Signed Museum is born, a natural evolution of my artistic research. I asked myself what happens to a work when it finds its definitive place. A museum protects it, preserves it and hands it to the future, but at the same time it restrains it. It can remain hung on the same wall for decades, observed by millions of people, without being able to continue its journey. From this reflection arose the idea of a museum in which some works symbolically decide to break free. Each piece appears as a fragment torn directly from the museum wall. Not only is the work taken away, but also a part of the wall that housed it, transforming the museum itself into an integral part of the work. Each collector does not simply purchase a painting, but an authentic fragment of the Mart Signed Museum, becoming the next stop on their journey. The work The damascened wall, the frame, the museum label and the sign are not mere decorative elements, but part of the work itself. The sign invites reflection on a society increasingly used to photographing every moment. Some moments, however, deserve above all to be lived. Materials and authenticity Natural imperfections, marks and dents of the materials are not defects, but an integral part of the work. They tell their story and help to make each piece unique. The work is delivered ready to be hung and is accompanied by the certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. The artist Mart Signed is an Italian street artist active internationally. His works are part of private collections in numerous countries, and his artistic research focuses on the dialogue between street art, urban memory and museum space, transforming fragments of city into collectible works. Shipping The work is shipped through specialized couriers managed by Mail Boxes Etc., carefully packaged, insured, and equipped with full tracking. In the event of a high number of shipments, delivery may take a few extra days. For any information you will be able to contact the artist directly through the platform.
