Roberto Daolio Out of order/out of place Aperto 1995

Maurizio Mercuri's capacity for reinvention does not stop at a rcuperation space, but follows an itinerary of a logical project constructed by an intellectual and an attractive mixing of words and things; all refused by commonsense and revitalized in linguistic surprise and wit and an eccentric reinventing of a future world collapsed into ours. What distinguishes mercuri from analogous neo-Dada works is the ironic versitality of a gesture that reassembles and recreates the fragments of post-catastrophe universe without the pride of survival.With a headstrong desire it upsets the aesthetic rules with a lowly solution using extreme indifference and sophisticated nonchalance .
