Clapis Retrospective
Clapis Retrospective is a virtual solo show of Federico Clapis curated by Serena Tabacchi aimed at connecting the artist’s audience to his collection.
“What this show may evoke is yet to be defined and it may as well remain unknown. The field we are entering is immaterial and illogical. A stream of consciousness manifested in casted shapes and digital universes. This retrospective explores the endless connections between humans and technology. Every work in this collection is in communication with the observer, offering an effortless view on the alterations we experience in the present and project into the future.
If our augmented perceptions are created by our senses, like a dream we experience with open eyes, I suggest you get close to each work, listen with open heart and get lost in the story of each character. You may recognise yourself in their stories.”
(Serena Tabacchi, curator)
At the opening event, a number of objects have been placed in the space for the audience and the artist to play with and create. Every item in this selection had been carefully chosen by the artist and was representative of the mood of this show.

In the physical world it was the first monumental bronze sculpture to represent the crypto world on the occasion of the collaboration with an important crypto wallet in 2018 .The work tells the mysterious prenatal bond between mother and son and foresees the arrival of the future generation, whose synapses now genetically connected to the network will look with new eyes to a reality permanently evolving. What we perceive in the contemporary as a transient period, for the infant of tomorrow will be customary: living a world where knowledge, relationships and even the economy will be lightened by the paradigms of the past but encrypted to all those who will bitterly fall behind. Exhibited in museums and foundations, now it's ready to become Nft.

One of Federico Clapis' most iconic sculptures, BabyDrone represents the arrival of the children of the future; a new generation in which the tech element is inherent in its cells from the very beginning. Exhibited in physical version in museums and galleries it now takes digital form becoming a unique NFT. With hundreds of thousands of views it is one of the works that best represents the online success of Clapis' works and now also marks its entry into Cryptoarte for which great projects of new creativity and growth are destined.

Rust on the shoulders of previous generations and eyes towards the future. Little by little our species is constantly evolving.

We would all like to be in touch. Touch Scream investigates the deep desire for union that has always been limited by our egoic barriers. The physical sculpture, exhibited in several museums and galleries, now takes a digital form, carrying with it the same introspection of a timeless human condition.

The world as a great industrial tamagotchi,the creature we need to take care of is nature, feed it and make it grow again.

This work marks the beginning of a new series. Detail is added to the concept generating narrative environments. BabyDrone inaugurated my previous series and I am happy that it is also the protagonist of the first drop of this one. A new world begins, in which the apparent solidity of matter is now a distant memory.
