A series of forty unique, limited-edition blankets, by Rob Pruitt. Each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, numbered and hand-signed by the artist. Migration is a complex and difficult subject, halfway between ideology and rhetoric, even more so in the current climate. Rob Pruitt tackles this theme with his trademark biting irony and profound content with his "Migration Moving Blanket, 2018", a series of extraordinary and unique objects produced exclusively for YOOX. Forty industrially produced blankets decorated with silkscreen prints of geese, the ultimate migrant animal, have been stylized and transformed into geometric patterns inspired by digital pixelization and quilting squares, the traditional decorative elements of quilts. Aesthetic objects that cleverly harbor a fundamental reflection in the age of great migrations: unique pieces, each different from the other, as unique and individual as the stories of the people who find themselves having to leave their homeland for other countries, with their luggage of fears and expectations for the future.
