APOCALYPSE WOW @ MACRO FUTURE - ROME

APOCALYPSE WOW!

APOCALYPTICS - POP SURREALISTS - CREATORS OF WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, at the same time, is also celebrated, the fall of another "wall" that has kept separate expressions, trends and styles that seemed destined to exclusion, marking the birth of the global world.

Political history and society change, and there is also a profound change in cultural movements.

APOCALYPSE WOW! reveals the shapes and the colours of pop surrealism, neo pop and urban art, current for long time kept away from the official art system, although very present in everyday of everyone life through various expressions.

APOCALYPSE WOW! Is a collective exhibition, with about 80 works, including paintings, sculptures and installations drawn from the most representative international exponents of an imaginary that links the generations in the past 20 years of epochal changes and who have lived and built the so-called globalized age.

By Julie Kogler and George Calcara
