“ARTIFACT TO HUMAN COMMUNICATION”

10 March – 22 April 2017

In his debut at Underdogs Gallery, Felipe Pantone will be presenting a reflection on the nature of the work of art and communication in this age of excessive information.

According to the artist:

“Good works of art have a voice, although it requires a prepared spectator willing to seek, order and assimilate the information they’re given (…)”

The emergence of the internet has completely altered the way we educate ourselves. In today’s society, we do not need a leader who inserts knowledge through a probe, but educators who teach us how to seek out information and stimulate our creative thinking.
