The Vending Machine became a diffuser of participation for both an artistic and an ecological dialogue.
This installation also reflected the dynamics of the market and the functions of the gallery, whilst re-establishing for a moment the freedom of the use of art in its function of displacement, surprise and subversion of pre -established rules. Also showing in Galleria Perela and continuing the same theme as ‘Vending Machine’ will be works by the artists/ directors of elysium gallery, Jonathan Powell, Ann Jordan, Sarah Williams and Daniel Staveley and from ART-E-MOTION Marina Moreno & Michael Meldru Medjivepjis.
