A direct line links newyorker young artists and Franco Soffiantino's gallery... such as Londoneers artists in Noero's one.
The performance was started already, so I started shooting from the large windows outside. Kate Gilmore (born in Washington DC in '72, lives and works in New York) is hurling chairs and old fornitures to the gallery wall... She mounts on this big stack and finally... she can get her little pretty shoe on the top of the wall. She's lovely, so full of energy for such a lovely silly reason.
The two videos look masokist but you will actually find something tender.  The price? 8,000 Euros (4 fixed copies each).
I asked Rjan Johnson (Karachi, Pakistan,1978, lives and works in New York) to stay near his
pasteboard sculptures... He's so looking like his own works that you'll think he's part of them!
In the below floor I've found the blond Rachel Owens, from New York as well, born in Atlanta in '72. Her installation, diped into red light, is impressive. A wolfs band all around a fire... It looks a Disney's sight but soon you'll discover the wolfs are without body parts and Raquel  has buit them with 'Fiat  Auto' boxes...
Kuang-Yu Tsu (Taipei 1974, lives and works in Amsterdam) is the last artist.  He shows the video we saw in the Biennale di Venezia.  Strong iterations to feel the time passing by.   He avoiding fallig stuff from the top right and left... He rolling with a weel chair on a street... He climbing down mountains of trash... He behaving like the plants the camera is looking to.  The meaning of nonsence.
