About the artwork:

"Freddy, oh Freddy (on his side)" by Luca Valerio.

"Freddy, oh Freddy (on his side)" artwork it is a contextualized-wag-revision of the ”Royal Wedding” film. Valerio’s artistic language aims to create ‘shifts and slides’ of perception between function and identity of a place/space.

"Royal Wedding is a 1951 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical comedy film starring Fred Astaire and Jane Powell, with music by Burton Lane and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner. The film was directed by Stanley Donen; it was his second film and the first he directed on his own. It was released as Wedding Bells in the United Kingdom.
"You're All the World to Me": In one of his best-known solos, Astaire dances on the walls and ceilings of his room because he has fallen in love with a beautiful woman who also loves to dance. The idea occurred to Astaire years before and was first mentioned by him in the MGM publicity publication Lion's Roar in 1945.” (From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Wedding)


About the WAG:

Due to our needs that seem to be increasingly handheld, I decided to create the WAG on 2009! The Widget Art Gallery is a mini single art-gallery-room fitting into people's pocket. Every two months, the WAG hosts a solo digital art exhibition related to its dynamic site-specific context. So, the WAG works both as a sort of kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and as museum too, conserving all the past shows inside an online archive that creates a permanent collection.
