Galerie Zimmermann Kratochwill proudly presents FEDERICO SOLMI: The Swine Philosophy, a major show of painting, drawing and video from November 19th, 2011 to January 7th, 2012. With this show Federico Solmi's work will be exhibited for the first time in Austria. Entitled The Swine Philosophy, this exhibition takes stock from an episode in Solmi's video installation "Douche Bag City", extending the
title as an umbrella term to encapsulate the basis of his artistic vision. Federico Solmi will present works from his recent series Douche Bag City, The Evil Empire, King Kong and The End of the World, Rocco Never Dies and The Giant. The artist depicts a degenerated society aiming for corrupted truths though selfcreated myths and models of hopelessness, hostility and harm. Urgent matters are collaged with historical ones. Taking the apocalyptic not as a cathartic solution for the evil in the world but as a present-day state of life.
