NUMBER ZERO OF THE 100 PLEXUS CAMPBOLL'S SOUP CANS LIMITED EDITIONS

After 37 years, since when in 1988 I conceived the 100 Plexus labels,

I placed myself inside of the number zero of my 100 Plexus Camboll's Soup Cans Limited Editions, only by Art Love, as a birthday homage, for Glaucia Coelho DemenjourIn the number zero for Glaucia Coelho Demenjour.

 In August 2025, I placed myself  inside the number zero of the 100 Plexus Campboll's Soup Cans Limited Editions, watching myself, subject and object at the same time. as  a vivisected body of art. 

On the internal side of the Can I glued one cent coin, painted in yellow, as money art, glued next to the cover of the 1987 Dematerialization of Art Symposium at New York University.  Next I glued a collage of a middle ages vivisected body of an alive prisoner opened by the medical school, with different faces of myself watching the opening. Inside the can, on the bottom,  I placed an original 1981 photo of me made by Lynne Kanter, as my ZERO  1981 TIME CAPSULE

 In 1981,  I created  the Center for Italian Contemporary Culture of the New York University. As executive director, I organized the programme "THE ARTIST IN THE FIRST PERSON", with Italian independent artists, managening their own presentations.

 After, in 1982/83 I opened Plexus International performace space, in Chelsea.

Then, 1984 I was forced to close the Plexus performance space and I opened the Shuttle Theatre/Lab in the Lower East Side. 

Then Plexus art journey departed and...... I am still  traveling on board. 

I packaged my zero number Can inside a wicker basket handmade by Fabrizio Perini,  the basket maker of Sorano, Tuscany Maremma, where it is now located Plexus International Archives. I was inspired by my 1993 NYU course on "Living Traditions in Arts" by prof. David W. Ecker.

I started to fill my zero number with the Plexus history, from where they come, in which I WAS in the first person living the experience, in which I AM right now, and in which  I WILL BE forever, an insider as well as an outsider.

Plexus FoodArt High ElectromagneticIntentional ART Food

The consumption of “Art” by the human corpus can be conceived as a digestion of “Food”, by which the corpus is nourished by art, participating in the general metabolism of the human corpus.

PLEXUS FOODART INTERNATIONAL

“FoodArt” is digested into neurophysiological reactions which affect the anabolism and catabolism processes of the human corpus. Through the digestion of foodART the METABOLIC, ionic process will supplies ”ARTEnergy” for the vital activities of the human corpus. Plexus FoodART will be connected, through all its cellular parts, by the SOLAR plexus networking system of blood vessels, lymphatic fluids, and nerves.

Consequently the solar PLEXUS, interlated to a complex of PLEXUS, are connecting billions and billions of individuals cells as a whole living organism, the human being, able of reproduction, of growing, of modifications of thinking, and transmitting culture.
