Long Live Bad Taste was the first solo exhibition in Italy by Carol Civre, a 3D artist and digital stylist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
C. Civre is among the first to have introduced digital artistic productions to the world of high-fashion retail and its advertising, experimenting in a playing field that is at the limit between market rules and free creative expression. Her work attempts to investigate the standards of beauty that belong to mainstream American and Western culture, making an extreme irony about the common imagination of luxury goods and their relationship to the existence of female forms in the digital space.
The exhibition was made thanks to Mirror Project - a long-term exhibition program created in collaboration with the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation.
