Product Description
Let's Destroy Work is the new book by Melbourne artist Marco Fusinato, with essays by Branden Joseph, Byron Coley & Alfredo M. Bonanno.
Marco Fusinato's practice references the rhetoric of radical politics (its ambitions and failures), noise as music and the conditions and conventions of conceptual art. Through wide-ranging forms of work in gallery contexts and performances, he foregrounds moments of disruption and impact in which lie the possibility of a shift in perception or change in the course of events.
His work has been included in Soundings: A Contemporary Score, the first ever exhibition of sound at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2013; Melbourne Now, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne 2013; The Imminence of Poetics, 30th Sao Paulo Biennale, Sao Paulo 2012; The Glasgow International Arts Festival, Glasgow 2012; Sonic Youth etc.: Sensational Fix, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Germany, and The Museum of Malmo, Sweden, 2009.
His recent solo exhibitions include Mass Black Implosion (Treatise, Cornelius Cardew), Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne, 2013; The Color of the Sky Has Melted, Artspace, Sydney, 2012; THERE IS NO AUTHORITY, Anna Schwartz Gallery, Sydney, 2012; Noise & Capitalism, Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne, 2010, and TM/MF (Thurston Moore/Marco Fusinato), Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, 2000.
Fusinato performs regularly in the international experimental music underground, obliterating the guitar into improvised noise-spit tsunamis. Recent solo LP releases in the last year include L'Origine/TEMA (Bocian Records, Poland), Spectral Arrows: Sydney (Planam, Italy) and Spectral Arrows: Rotterdam (DePlayer, Netherlands).
