Blublauerspazioarte once again manipulates its identity, strips off its private function and wears clothes that are usually worn by the urban space, transforming its white cube into a huge poster wall.
The operation is simple. Roberta Filippelli, investigating the daily life and the processes that cross it, intercepts the choice of the city of Alghero as seat of the Gay Pride 2014 and reworks it in a formula with two coordinates: a format, that of the poster in the standard dimension of 70x100 cm, and a code, GPAHO210614, which encloses in abbreviated form the name, the place and the date of the event and is distributed by the artist as generative matrix of a multiplicity of visions and planning. A collective action, therefore, more than an exhibition in the canonical sense of the term, adopting the expressive pretext of the manifesto, understood in the twofold meaning of communicative-advertising artifact and programmatic declaration of thought, to invite the Artists to measure themselves with a social theme.
In Chinese culture, since the dynastic times, there was a tool that allowed anyone to take the floor and express their opinion about people or events: the Dazibao. Literally, "poster with large characters", it was a matter of great mural newspapers that were posted in public bulletin boards next to each other, almost in a repartee, and that it was forbidden to remove or cover without the consent of the authors. Freeing them from the original political value, we can imagine that for GPAHO210614 each artist wrote his own "Dazibao for images " and posted it in the big Public bulletin Board of Blublauerspazioarte so that everyone can read it. A parenthesis of reflection, beyond rhetoric, beyond any forced militancy.

Blublauerspazioarte manipola ancora una volta la propria identità, si spoglia della funzione privata e veste panni solitamente indossati dallo spazio urbano che trasformano il suo white cube in un'enorme muro d'affissione.
L'operazione è semplice. Roberta Filippelli, indagatrice del quotidiano e dei processi che lo attraversano, intercetta la scelta della città di Alghero come sede del Gay Pride 2014 e la rielabora in una formula a due coordinate: un formato, quello del manifesto nella dimensione standard di 70x100 centimetri, ed un codice, GPAHO210614, che racchiude in forma abbreviata il nome, il luogo e la data della manifestazione e viene distribuito dall'artista come matrice generativa di una molteplicità di visioni e di progettualità. Un'azione collettiva, dunque, più che una mostra nel senso canonico del termine, che adotta il pretesto espressivo del manifesto, inteso nella duplice accezione di artefatto comunicativo-pubblicitario e dichiarazione programmatica di pensiero, per invitare gli artisti a misurarsi con una tematica sociale.
Nella cultura cinese, fin dai tempi dinastici, esisteva uno strumento che consentiva a chiunque di prendere la parola ed esprimere la propria opinione su persone o accadimenti: il dazibao. Letteralmente “poster a grandi caratteri”, si trattava di grandi giornali murali che venivano affissi in bacheche pubbliche uno accanto all'altro, quasi in un botta e risposta, e che era vietato rimuovere o ricoprire senza il consenso degli autori. Liberandoli dall'originaria valenza politica, possiamo immaginare che per GPAHO210614 ogni artista abbia scritto il proprio “dazibao per immagini” e lo abbia affisso nella grande bacheca pubblica di blublauerspazioarte affinché tutti possano leggerlo. Una parentesi di riflessione, al di là della retorica, al di là di ogni forzata
militanza.
