Macri is ready to take your “order”. ANTIPASTO (Tribute to Andy Warhol for Little Electric Chair 1964). Antipasto is Adamo Macri’s ambitious art project consisting of photographic pieces, performance and sculptural work. The photographic segment will be composed of celebrity portraits which will be generated by their individual reply to a question.The question: “If you were an institutionalized prisoner on death row and granted any meal of your choice, what would your last supper be?” The reply is referred to as the order. Macri’s objective here is exploiting a different approach to the practice of portraiture. The depiction of an individual’s physicality does not form the visual, rather the image is derived by their most favourite meal and what they consume. He challenges portraiture by expanding the process to organic narrative and regarded as intimate content. An essay detailing the project is available at his news blog site, via the weblink below.Pleased to announce, Orders received by: Kiera Chaplin, Mamie Van Doren, John Gilmor, Loretta Lux, Henry Rollins, Raine Maida, Floria Sigismondi, John Rankin Waddell, Franko B, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Carlos Alomar, Ian Ayres, Mette Madsen, David LaChapelle, Ron Athey, Wiesje Van Hulst, Matthias Herrmann, Amanda Lepore, Romi Dames, Mike Garson, Ulrich Schnauss, Marcel Wanders and more…[Adamo Macri News Blog]
