Social Boom by Woc

About

Always interested in the concept of image and the multiple forms it can take, Social Boom tells a story of contemporary communication. The artist is equally fascinated by the globally recognized public figures, the contents they communicate and the way they choose to communicate them. The exhibition displays a selection of thirteen works, from a larger series of 78 works, which quote a selection of Tweets by Kanye West between June 1, 2018 and September 27, 2018. The texts, redrawn with the spray technique on white wrapping paper by Woc on the same days they were published, were chosen to be reproduced due to their poetic and communicative impact.
The exhibition is completed by a site-specific work by Woc, specifically concieved for the outdoor wall ofthe gallery. The work, a press review on the wall, is composed of seven tweets that West published, along with others, on his profile in the previous weeks of the execution of the work. The series, made with white spray cans and the typical social network font, takes place on the wall respecting its architectural forms and proportions.
