Careof presents the book-catalogue Aureo created by Nazzareno Guglielmi (July 2007). The publication concludes the path begun by the artist in 2006 with an installation conceived for one of the numerous spaces of the Easybox self storage on via Porro 2 in Milan.

In this context, for a duration of about two months, a work consisting of a clock mechanism and a dial without numbers, placed under a glass dome, was kept and presented only by appointment and always in the presence of the artist. Through a rituality that became an integral part of the project, Nazzareno Guglielmi offers, first through the work and then with the publication of the book, a reflection on relative and absolute time, underlining the necessity to preserve and protect the time that belonged to us. The unusual exhibition space and the architecture of the storage facility, which create a loss of orientation in the viewer, also become constitutive elements of the installation, emphasizing the importance of the context in the experience of the work. At the presentation, the artist and some of the critics who contributed to the publication will take part.
