Presentation
In the Uprising series, Ugo Schiavi takes over bits of statues that he chooses in the public space by using the techniques of imprint and moulding. Most of the time he gets help from a partner in crime who will 'lay » an arm or a foot on a specificpart before the artist immortalises the strange encounter between the two body fragments: one contemporary and alive, and the other frozen in history. The artist describes the opération as « vandal moulding » as it requires a certain level of organisation and great speed in order to avoid some represen-tative of the authorities putting an end to it, even though the intervention has no consequences one the public monument.Back to the studio, he pours concrete into the mould which can only be used once. Therefore the resulting sculptures operates like a shift which would be turning of a monument designed to last through the years into a fragile fragment of solidified present time
