Tobias Kaspar’s THE STREET is a one day exhibition taking place inside Cinecittà’s so-called “Gangs of New York” (2002, Dir. by Martin Scorsese) set which once resembled part of New York’s Lower Broadway.

THE STREET is the artist’s response to the invitation by the Istituto Svizzero to develop a project outside its institutional realm in order to put its own boundaries at stake. Looking at New York or looking for New York, Tobias Kaspar found one of the Big Apple’s reproductions inside the Cinecittà Studios in Rome; the Broadway set. The artist has been interested to realise an artwork that addresses the issue of being everywhere and exactly nowhere at the same time, to realise a project in a specific place while pretending to be somewhere else.

THE STREET is an Istituto Svizzero di Roma production with Cinecittà Studios and Cinecittà Si Mostra and the support of Abteilung Kultur Kanton Basel-Stadt, Media partner NERO
