Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio (1902–1964) together with Asger Jorn founded this experimental laboratory in 1955 and Pinot-Gallizio continued to work at it until the end of his working life. He was another of the founders of the Situationist International and he collaborated with Debord on the painting Abolition of Alienated Labor (1959-63). He had quit the Situationist group in 1960, but continued on good terms with, as did his cohort, Jorn. I've written about Jorn elsewhere on this blog and will do so again soon, but I want to concentrate here on Pinot Gallizio and his industrial painting techniques and concepts. I once tried to use his idea of selling paintings by the yard. I made huge paintings made up of smaller paintings and or scenes and sold them by section. So I'm rather indebted to this great Italian painter and mean here to pay him back. Consider it an act of Potlatch
The next two are collaborations, the first with Debord and the second with Jorn. The rest are paintings from after his break with the SI.
