"In Ghent there is always a free room for Albrecht Dürer"
Curated by Jan Hoet, Chambres d’amis consisted in a series of site-specific projects inside private homes around the city, involving fifty international artists . . . . The selected spaces belonged not only to collectors or people close to the world of art, but also to ordinary individuals, since the aim was to demonstrate that art can be a part of any type of everyday reality. . . . Salvadori chose to work together with Spalletti inside the house of Hedwig Aerts and Robert Hoozee, where they painted the walls of the entrance corridor and the living room respectively in natural sienna and burnt sienna "to create a landscape". In the corridor, where there was also a vase-sculpture by Spalletti, Salvadori placed Triade, 1986, the first development of a work composed of three bottles . . . set in communication with each other through “a pathway visualized in relation to two tangent circles, intersected at their meeting point by a vertical line” (Salvadori) composed of metal rods . . . In the living room, around a corner, Salvadori made a large Tavolo d’angolo, 1972 (1986), in wood and red wax . . . while on one wall the artist put a Tazza, 1986, in Claessens canvas from Waregem, a fabric typical of Flanders, again colored red.
