Paola Pivi's AGWA Exhibition: A Stage for Unadulterated Joy and Radical Freedom

2 hours ago7 min read1 comments

The Art Gallery of Western Australia has been transformed into a vibrant stage by Italian artist Paola Pivi. Her exhibition, 'I don’t like it, I love it,' is a dynamic performance of pure joy, designed to disarm viewers and invite them into a world where the impossible becomes reality.Feathered bears lounge in surreal settings, and zebras traverse alpine peaks, creating a landscape where whimsy and wonder are the primary currencies. In an interview with designboom, Pivi revealed her artistic philosophy: true creation begins where convention ends, in the boundless territory of freedom.Her work is not meant to be observed passively; it sings, cartwheels, and demands participation, turning each visitor into a co-author of their own experience. This approach aligns with a history of artists using spectacle to challenge perception, yet Pivi's work is distinguished by its relentless optimism and absence of irony.She posits that art can change the world not through lectures, but by rewiring our emotional circuitry, offering a tangible encounter with delight. In an era of bleak headlines, her exhibition is a necessary intermission—a radical, defiant act of creating something beautiful, strange, and profoundly joyful. It’s a production that leaves the audience feeling truly and magnificently alive.
