Autorenporträt
Lu Cafausu is a collaborative art project initiated by Emilio Fantin, Luigi Negro, Giancarlo Norese, and Cesare Pietroiusti in 2006, then joined by Luigi Presicce in 2010. Over the last years they have been involved in a kind of aesthetic and anthropological investigation, dealing with the contradictions of both urban and metaphorical spaces, the "self-generated" beauty and the "errata" of the landscape. Lu Cafausu, an old "coffeehouse" located in a small town in the south of Italy, has become the inspiration for stories, performances and actions in different European and American cities. The artists identified Lu Cafausu as a metaphor for something that is, at the same time, both central and marginal, where aesthetic contradictions meet the meanings (or maybe the lack of any meaning) of our time.It's "animaginary place that really exists."
