Saskia. Idle Speed

Saskia will occupy, with Idle Speed, exhibition curated by Marta Gargiulo, Nero Gallery’s space from 7 November to 5 December.

The show born from the artist desire to enlight, throught a production of Robodroidi, above those robot which the human apparences have given themselves the possibility to get the flaw typical of living beings. This matter catches form from the idea to carry on an analysis of what signify to go with a minimal standard for the robots, machines built to perform on an high-frequency power.
The answer who emerges from these works is that this slowdown give an occasion to develop a sort of awareness. These machines stop to exist for the reason which they have been created, and they decide to do something else.

The viewer will deal with different Robodroidi, such because they have decided to set an Idle Speed, like with the engine at minimum speed, and minimum power, these modality puts them in the condition to take unexpected paths, thanks to a unearthed personality and a sharply individualism.

Saskia’s creatures discover how much the production system considered a flaw, that for whom is a particularity. The human flaw is the quality, it takes to being themselves, and by the way unique.
Robodroidi begin themselves to compare with the unexpected: laziness, fantasy, imagination and with a perspective of life different from what is just linked with the massive scale. In a time like this, in which the crisis, and unemployment persisting to grow, people have more time for themselves, and often this range doesn’t become a freely time, otherwise changes into a paranoid time.

The result that flows from exhibition narrative tones is that the time freedom from occupation, can transform itself, if we will focus on ourselves, in a space to understand how self-doing newly our existence.
Robodroidi reflect the idea of an organ which stops to exist for the system, and starts to be how it feels spontaneously, this metamorphosis is linked to a review on the possibilities of everyone to take its time back, so being able to get autonomously own life. 

Saskia Corso was born in Rome in 1974 by Roman father and Dutch mother, that allows her to grow in both nations.
After completing her classical studies she begins her journey with stages that contributed to its formation; so she came into contact with the underground environments of cities like Bologna, Amsterdam, Florence, Rome, living radical between squats and homeless’s cardboard boxes. 
2000 opens with a year of work in Hong Kong, followed by a year in the Philippines; she returns to Rome for little and then moves for three years in London, where she worked in call centers and attended courses in photography and video editing. 
Back again in Rome she started to work in a school of photography, but soon left again for a long trip through Europe. 
Today she lives and works in Rome, her artistic production buzzes of traditional craft, a real passion for recycle and twenty years of experience around the world. 
Great reader, loves comics and cinema, design and could not live without sex drugs and rock’n roll. And, of course, her daughter and partner. Indeed she discovered the joy of creation with motherhood.
Produces sculptures that she calls toys, Robots with a strong personality, often models of larger projects that take shape in public spaces. These toys are a bunch of so called robodroids and they express the desires and the fear of those who are born without a heart, but has learned to build one and make it work.
