Abstract

With Contemporary Artifacts Antonio Saladino proposes his most recent sculptures: an original conceptual hybridization between art and archeology. In this book, the works are objects whose sign structure immerses its generative matrices in the density of historical time; extraordinary and unusual artifacts generated by the strength of the artist’s imagination, surfacing from the thriving margins of his creative universe. His artifacts have no chronology, no history, even though they tell us about history; they reduce ancient seductions by suggesting the new ones through their own uniqueness as artistic relics realized by applying linguistic ways and references of contemporaneity.
