Till the world ends (Cyprien Gaillard in Milan)

Cyprien Gaillard made his point. No need to conform, follow, adjust. No need at all. We have just bypassed the century of the Self. The Decline and Fall of the western civilisation is a fact and Gaillard is not so desperately looking amongst the rubbles, presenting us the expensive bill. This 1980 kid from Paris has been etching the urban archeology with an insightful approach. He has been living in the Ruins, photographing the romance of urban poetry. Cyprien has reached maturity in his first unfucking believable solo show here in Milan. Mr Gioni has managed to cross the line of Fondazione Trussardi previous "safe" choices. He chose well. He organized the perfect location. If this is a preview of next Venice Biennal then we will talk about renaissance. From the rubble we will rise. All the best.
