A convivial evening with a hundred people. The figurines of art is a performance that perfectly reproduces the commercial system of contemporary art. Each participant has an album to be completed with one hundred empty spaces and a pack of one hundred stickers to be pasted. However, the package does not allow the album to end, on the contrary, it provides the competitor with numerous duplicates. After the first phase of completion, the competitor will find himself forced to exchange the stickers with the other participants to get to the end of his album.
Moment in which he can ask the artist, Corrado Bonomi, to sign the same, thus making it, in all respects, a work. When the critical mass of the barter reaches a stalemate, the only way to reach the end of the album will be to buy and sell the figurines for consideration: here is the market. With all its crises, follies, bold and not very thrifty gestures, hypocrisy.
