A flash from Tony Graffio' s blog on October 12, 2016 graffitiamilano Malafemme 2016: 4 tattoos for 160 screen prints (WonderBee, Indignada Jones, China and Kylie Tomato) At Malafemme 2016 I met 4 artists who made designs that were then converted into 3-color silk-screen prints. Never vulgar, always bad. Indignada Jones Tony Graffio: And now let's go to Indignada Jones, what is the title and meaning of your screenprint?Indignada Jones: The seller is a robot selling a picture. It's a way to reflect on art and ask us what kind of art we are enjoying or we are going to buy.Selling contemporary art is a work from heartless Robot. TG: Is this a merchant of the future? IJ: Yes, even if we have come to the point where art is produced by machines and not by people. Just have a cell phone in hand and with a click you pretend to do art. TG: Does the robot have dollars in the eyes, because in addition to economic colonization, we are also undergoing very strong cultural control? IJ: Yes, he has a reflection in his eyes that looks like a reminder of the dollar symbol or the letter "S" which is the beginning of the word money. It's a man-machine, so a Robot that produces random art. TG: Even a little insect, it even looks like a robotic-cockroach for curved and shimmering shoulders that could hide a cover for the wings. IJ: Yes, it is a totally shabby cold being that does not represent life, which is a bit metallic: it's a part of an absurd world that is, however, the world we live in. TG: Is this how you see the art world? Do not you have illusions or dreams to live in this environment? IJ: I see art as something that has been phagocytised by a very cynical system; art is used only to make money. This is a dog that bites the tail: for this reason inside the work there is a representation of our cities, visible in the palaces that design always. The skyline of the city has the imprinting of these palaces to give a glimpse of a very cold, somewhat distopic world. Just yesterday I talked about this with Barbie, once in an exhibition that could lead to such sensations I would have thought of someone like Andy Warhol, now it's as if everyone was artist and there is a total confusion. Who should I think to find someone who represents this era? Flat line. Nobody comes to my mind. Today everyone can do it all and show it in the eyes of everyone. Sometimes there is not even a specific message to spread, just an image. What made the communication, in the mountain of communication data we live in, lost sight of. It's a paradox, but that's right. In short, the art of our day seems to me a little dead and too mechanical, trapped in the metropolitan tubes. Who can I work with today? Just having such a thought seems utopian. TG: Sorry Indignada, are you a tattooer too? IJ: I tattoo, but I do not profess. TG: Where did you get a particular name like the one you gave? IJ: Obviously, this is a game of words that is inspired by an adventurous movie that I really enjoyed since I was a child. Over the years, I've been able to confirm my feelings of disdain for certain things in life, and an ex-colleague with a rather happy outfit has told me as Indignada Jones. I liked the appellation and so I decided to keep it transformed into my art name because it makes me understand how to be in me a propensity to rebellion and to be a fighter.
