Conflict is inevitable like control and fear
Conflict is integral say goodbye my dear

Conflict is inevitable like control and death
Conflict is integral this is the end I said

Conflict is inevitable see it in your mind
Conflict is what makes us here it's so easy to find

Conflict is inevitable attack inside your head
Conflict is a part of us with us until we're dead

Conflict is inevitable the crash and it all comes down
Conflict is in everything in us and all around

Conflict is inevitable a force inside your heart
Conflict is integral let's prepare to part.

Warm shadow

What you got goin' on
Behind those eyes closed, holdin' on
I don't want another day to break
Take our, steal our night away
Warm shadow











Warm shadow
Won't you cast yourself on me
What you got in store for me
Keep those eyes closed, next to me













I don't want another day to break
Take our, steal our night away
Warm shadow

Warm shadow
Won't you cast yourself on me
Warm shadow

Won't you stop breakin' in
Red sky, red light, awakenin'
I don't want another day to break
Take our, steal our night away

Ugo Rondinone

The Museum of Cycladic Art is pleased to announce an exhibition by the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, under the title nude.

The exhibition is a new site specific installation. Rondinone intervened and changed everything about the space, the floor, the light and the colours of the walls and ceiling to create his characteristically otherworld, dreamlike environment.

A special sculpture wall was installed in the first room to make sure this world is separated from everyday life.

Neon lights and a lightbox sculpture create an even light that confuses our sense of time or place.

Seven life-sized nude figures inhabit the space, in peaceful repose, informally posed on the floor.

 Jointed like store-window mannequins, the figures are exquisitely detailed, as they are cast in wax directly from the human body.

The sections of each figure are made of different earth colors, a mixture of wax and earth pigments.

Naked and vulnerable, they seem to be resting after having performed. Rondinone himself says he chose dancers at the peak of their youth, bodies full of energy to accentuate the contradiction with their state of slumber.

Why are they resting? From what? Maybe from life? Did they ever have their own life?

In the context of the Museum of Cycladic Art, where the figurines of the permanent collection, dating from 3000BC, remain hermetically closed, resting in enigmatic serenity, Rondinone’s resting figures invite the viewer to reflect on the evolution of the figuration through the centuries but also on how humanity deals with existential question through time

A few words on the artist
Ugo Rondinone has earned international attention for his poetic, evocative work across a diverse range of mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, video, installation, and sculpture.

Rondinone tends to work in series, selecting a medium and subject that he then explores in multiple variations. Ugo Rondinone was born in 1964 in Brunnen, Switzerland to Italian parents and is based in New York.    [ more ]                                                                                               until 15.10.2012
