Re-conversion - In the shit flowers grow

Ex consorzio agrario, Porto Torres (SS), Sardinia, April, 13th/14th, 2009

Description

Re-conversion

After two years of underground movement, we decided to show up and to inform the mass of our art works. So we started looking for a place that could host the exhibition without changing its nature, looking to several dismissed factories in the industrial area. After several examination, we got to the destination, we identify a building used as agriculture consortium, dismissed since five years, located in the central area of the city of Porto Torres ( Sassari, Sardinia).
After squatting the place, we occupied it, and in the following two days we started the re-qualification process, freeing the place from old garbage, furnitures and enormous quantity of pigeon's excrement. From this humus we got the energy to transform this place in our art exhibition's container: "Laboratorio della Crisi".
