Press Release
The theme of the exhibition, first of all, centered on "the shoe", exclusively as an item of dress, found its title in the saying "On your feet!" the idiomatic formula which in English has a wide range of meanings, other than the literal On your feet", "Get up!", "Move!", "Go ahead on your two legs!", "Stay there!""...
The invited artists have enlarged the visual to a vast repertoire, which accompanies the shoe and the foot in general: voyage, procession, leap, fable, object of desire, fetish, game, dance, portait, memory. Some artists have offered works already created, many others have made them "ad hoc" for this event. From this an extremely intriguing collection was born, where photos, videos, installations, paintings, graphics, and objects live together in an extravagant equilibrium between metaphor and fashion.
