Blei Collection – Davide Blei e Sandra Simonato, Milan
The map represents the synthesis, the formalization of the Artist’s thought regarding the Global Education project. It is the final representation of the entire procedure and the method he used to collect, during his travels and during his participatory experiences with the public, the informations, the inputs, clichés, icons, slogans and ideas that populate conceptually his work.In the maps we find iconographic images found in our collective imagination, and all that we easily recognize because it is part of our contemporary visual luggage. Through a kind of collective and connective archive, created by collecting images found on the web and experiences of confrontation with people from different places of the world, at different times, the artist coined the dictionary of Global Education.This tool was created by real participatory assemblies in which the artist is confronted with the locals in which he operates, for the formulation of Tag, ie the words that affixes under the icons chosen as a representational tool, in a geopolitical map, all those events and those characters that account, change and influence the history of our society.
