Knights of the Daily Round 1982

Curator: Roberto Barni's "Knights of the Daily Round" presents us with a fascinating study of power dynamics rendered through classical allegory. Editor: Woah, it's intense! It feels like a fever dream, all swirling lines and ambiguous figures—a sense of frenetic energy, almost claustrophobic. Curator: The print’s title offers a potential reading: perhaps these "knights" represent the relentless, often absurd battles we fight daily within societal structures. Editor: I see that, but the distorted figures, the almost violent strokes… it makes me think of internal struggles too, the battles within ourselves. Curator: Absolutely, and the absence of a clear narrative invites viewers to project their own experiences onto the work, fostering a dialogue between art and life. Editor: It's so heavy, though. Makes you wonder, what are we all fighting for? Gives you pause, you know? Curator: Indeed. It’s a reminder of the ceaseless negotiations within the personal and political realms.
