At dawn on April 30th, 1945, five days after Liberation, two blood-soaked corpses were found in the outskirts of Milan. Osvaldo Valenti and Luisa Ferida – executed by partisans. Idolized by the public, a famous – and infamous – couple on and off screen, Valenti and Ferida were stars of the Fascist-endorsed cinema. Drug addicts, with a tendency towards sexual promiscuity, their private lives were as wild as the villainous, depraved characters they portrayed.

A project by the artist collective UBERMORGEN.COM

Opening: December 17, 2010 at 7.30pm
Exhibition Dates: December 18, 2010 to January 15, 2011
Days: Monday to Saturday
Time:1- 6pm
Venue: Goethe-Institut Auditorium
Entry: Free

WOPPOW is a project by the artist collectiveUBERMORGEN.COM that has produced some of the most provocative artworks of recent years in the global art world, laying bare uncomfortable issues of our societies with absurd and ironical means. Their new project, in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Nairobi, focuses on one of the most covered but maybe less understood phenomena of today: Somali pirates. It provocatively interprets Somali piracy as a method to react to the exploitation of society: as re-appropriation by means of theft and robbery.

Ubermorgen.com looks at the big picture through a small video-camera, portraying the pirate’s phenomenon and its tribal expansion. As a meta-layer they use fashion and technology to talk about political, social and economic issues. The research findings, as abstract and absurd as they may come, will be on display in this tight and tense exhibition at the Goethe-Institut Nairobi.
