Everything
around us seems to run quickly. We are not regardless to that. We let us carry
away by the speed that surrounds us. We try
to travel as much as possible, to collect music as much as possible, to see as
many movies as possible, to visit as many exhibitions as possible, to read as
many books as possible. Everything as quick as we can. Nowadays time is gold.
The new economy is based on the exploitation of this speed. There is no time to
waste for knowing people, programs like facebook, twitter or instagram allow
you to live the world while seated on a chair. We can do our shopping with a
click, make music with a click, have sex with a click. The newspapers compete for
the latest news. The news is more and more concise and nimble. The advertising adapts to time. The product is not didactly represented
anymore, only suggested. It is unveiled with a veil. As regards this vortex of
time, that gets us down, the concept of this project is to reverse the course.
People don't read much: I make lots of pages. Paper is dead, internet is
everything: I make a paper publication. And most of all, instead of
competing for the first place, I compete for the last by making a publication
that comes out every 5 years. The right period of time to verify the changes
of taste, of language, of style and of the collective imaginary.
The
publication is issued 5 yearly, but its contents has been prepared four years
before that. It’s a time capsule. A bit like when as a kid you put a letter, a
picture or a newspaper in a box, and then after years you look at it again with
new eyes and another perspective. The title of the publication corresponds to the
year of issue. 2014 is a dish composed of various ingredients, which I have
assembled by following a very personal criterion. Artists
projects, commissioned texts, republished texts, found photographs and old
advertisements. There has been no limit imposed to the persons involved,
neither of space nor of content. In this sense it took shape naturally, and not
with a prepackaged grid like in books or magazines. Time is not the subject of
this publication, only an instrument. An instrument to think about the
influence of time and temporality in our lives and our way of looking at the
world. (Luca Lo Pinto)

On Tuesday, June
3rd, at 7pm, Rome-based s.t.foto libreria galleria will host the presentation
of 2014: an ongoing editorial project conceived and curated by Luca Lo
Pinto.
2014 is a publication conceived as a time
capsule. 500 pages of commissioned artists projects, texts, republished texts,
song lyrics, found images and old advertisings collected in 2009/2010 and
presented only now. It is issued once every five years, but its contents has
been prepared four years before that and frozen in time.
An on paper
exhibition where time and temporality function as instruments to think about
our way of looking at the world and the continuous shifts of languages, tastes
and interpretations. The title of the publication corresponds to the year of
issue. 2014 is the first release which will be followed by a second one in
2019.
