Fusinato, born in 1964 and thus of a generation destined to come of age in the cultural and historical aftermath of such decisions, places viewers in a similarly deliberative position with regard to the artifacts of political and artistic radicalism appropriated and recontextualized in his work.Ĭase in point is Fusinato’s series “Noise & Capitalism,” 2010, exhibited last fall at the Anna Schwartz Gallery in Melbourne.
