The project will have as final goal the promovation of a catalogue which would be distributed in all three countries, attempting to leave behind the obsolete east-west pattern The visual research of Giancarlo Carpi, certifies some formal, morphological and subject constants, classified according to cuteness esthetics. Taking into account this aesthetical category combines the two concepts: products fetishism and subjectivity mutilation, as well as its own morphological vector,- Kindchenschema - leads to the unique conclusion that it doesn't belong to a single cultural tradition.The exhibition certifies the spread inside the european art of some artistical post-war tendances with deep roots in both the Asian and North-American continent :The Japanese Superflat and the American Pop Surrealism. In a historical-artistical posteriority, which seems to eradicate this european production of an aesthetics referring to the commercial-artistical plan and also to merchandising and the uniform expression of a capitalism connected to economical and cultural globalization, by creating this exhibition it is attempted to headline this trend in certain european countries. On the other hand, there is a constant dispute whether and in what extent this aesthetics is subordinated to other artistical currents, much more related to these countries' tradition.
