Laundered Paintings

Laundered Paintings is an ongoing series in which each

piece derives from a personal clothing item belonging

to the artist’s closet. In this peculiar painting practice,

each canvas is treated differently presenting on itself

different ink-marks patterns permeating the unprimed

surfaces. The canvases are then brought to a dry cleaner

service that processes the pieces.

Stemming from weekly trips to the dry cleaner, the

Laundered Paintings series is a work in which the line

between canvas and clothing becomes blurred.

With instructions, specific for each painting, to the dry

cleaner the canvas and ink of each painting gets partially

erased, ironed, and folded.

This exhibition is the result of artistic research and

production during the summer semester 2023 at the

Free University of Bolzano. Laundered Paintings will

be exhibited at the dry cleaning service and as part of

the summer semester show GOG June 9th and 10th of

the Faculty of Design and Art at the Free University of

Bolzano.

At the dry cleaner, each work could be experienced

during the opening hours of the dry cleaning service by

asking for the paintings.
