Giorgio Bertin
T.A.EX. (total artistic exibition)Exponent of metropolitan expressionism, Giorgio Bertin lived in New York in the early 1980s where with permissions and the help of the Department of Health he made a documentary on the various phases of the expulsion of urban solid waste in this city : collection, land and river transport in incinerators or burial in sanitary landfills ( SPASMO-PLUS 1982 edizioni Stampa Alternativa Roma suppl. N.14276 ) .
During his stay in New York he participated several times in the T.A.EX. (total artistic exibition ) : huge "clandestine" art exhibitions held in large abandoned buildings in the extreme New York suburbs in which all forms of expression were allowed.The materials for figurative art : French doors, wood, metal' plastics, cardboard were largely salvaged from the areas surrounding the buildings chosen for the performances.
As also gleaned from various biographical fragments it seems that Jean Michel Basquiat himself participated both as a musician and as a painter in more than one of these performances. This is confirmed both by his graffitiism and use of reclaimed materials as well as by his expressive admixtures that indelibly link him to the founding elements of T.A.EX .
The term Garbart, from garbage, refuse and art adopted by Gorgio Bertin to define all his artistic production: painting and sculpture, was born within this unique and unrepeatable experience.

T.A.EX. (total artistic exibition)
Esponente dell'espressionismo metropolitano, Giorgio Bertin visse a New York agli inizi degli anni ottanta dove con i permessisi e l'aiuto del Dipartimento della Sanità realizzò un documentario sulle varie fasi di espulsione dei rifiuti solidi urbani di questa città : raccolta, trasporto terrestre e fluviale negli inceneritori o interramento nei sanitary landfill ( SPASMO-PLUS 1982 edizioni Stampa Alternativa Roma suppl. N.14276 ) .
Durante la sua permanenza a New York partecipò più volte alla T.A.EX. (total artistic exibition ) : enormi esibizioni artistiche “clandestine”che si tenevano in grandi edifici abbandonati dell'estrema periferia Newyorchese nelle quali tutte le forme espressive erano ammesse.
I materiali per l'arte figurativa : porte finestre, legno, metallo' plastiche, cartone erano in gran parte recuperti nelle aree circostanti agli edifici scelti per le esibizioni.
Come si ricava anche da vari frammenti biografici sembra che lo stesso Jean Michel Basquiat abbia partecipato sia come musicista che come pittore a più di una di queste esibizioni. Questo è confermato sia dal graffitismo e dall'uso di materiali recuperati nonche dalle sue commistioni espressive che lo accomunano indelebilmente agli elementi fondanti delle T.A.EX .
Il termine Garbart, da garbage, rifiuti e arte adottato da Gorgio Bertin per definire tutta la propria produzione artistica: pittura e scultura, è nato all'interno di questa esperienza unica ed irripetibile.
