作者评论:
佩内洛普的画布
潘尼洛普－著名人物，她是古时、今日、以及未来最杰出的设计师之一－从她刚刚织布开始就请求我在她快织完的布上凭着有想象力给布着色，然后为自己的夫婿裁制漂亮的衣服。 最后两块布，我仍旧没有机会开始着色，因为设计师尚未完成织布。 正好，我想借此机会证实一件事－由于我们拥有的尤里西斯版本的错误信息，大家都错认为潘尼洛普白天织布，夜里拆毁，因为她不想嫁给她的一个追求者：不是这样的，我们的杰出设计师，即不是傻子也不是无所事事！正如潘尼洛普的亲朋密友所知，她在追求者围困期间，同时开始了制作两块织布：一块，大的，送给她爱的夫婿（今日依然处于制作状态），还有一块，小的（只在第一天织了一部分，之后就被撇弃了）只是给想迎娶她的求爱者们做样子看－她甚至诺许布织完的那一天，她将会再次谈婚论嫁…那么，我也要郑重地诺许：当潘尼洛普完成织布的那一天…我一定会在两块织布上画画！
Penelope's Canvas...for Ulysses
Author's comment:
Penelope's Canvases
Penelope - who, as it is well known, is one of the most eminent fashion designer of the past, the present and the future - from the very beginning of her artistic activity asked me to recur to my imagination when "colouring" the canvases she was weaving, so that she could tailor exclusive pieces of art for her husband.
Referring to these two latest canvases, I haven't been able yet to colour them, as the fashion designer has not yet woven them completely.
By the way, I do wish to make it clear that it is not true - as it has been erroneously told us by the Odyssey edition we received - that Penelope weaves her canvas during the day and undoes it at night, just because she does not want to get married to one of her suitors: our brilliant fashion designer, in fact, is neither stupid nor time waster!
In fact, as it is well known to Penelope's close friends, since her suitors began to besiege her, she started working contemporaneously on two canvases: a big one, for her beloved husband (she is still weaving it) and a small one (she began weaving it the first day and then she abandoned it) to show it to her suitors - who wanted to marry her - having promised to get married to one of them as soon as she had completed the canvas...
Well, I too vow to paint both canvases... as soon as Penelope will have woven them!

Sabrina Falzone 博士在 FAfotoantologia.it 上发表了关于作者参加第六届佛罗伦萨双年展的评论：
最先进的艺术……后、后、后当代
在中国最著名的外国艺术家马尔科·萨尔瓦多·马拉马奇 (Marco Salvatore Mallamaci) 将参加第六届“国际当代艺术双年展”，该活动由组织机构 Arte Studio 宣布并得到意大利共和国总统的大力赞助。展览在佛罗伦萨的 Fortezza da Basso 展览馆举行，靠近新圣母玛利亚教堂。
2007年12月1日至9日，Marco的三幅画作将与来自76个国家的840位艺术家的其他作品一起抵达艺术之都，为不同文化、语言和风格之间带来一场非凡的邂逅。
展出的是马可的三幅具有重大革命意义的油画画布：《阿斯托尔福的安瓿》、《加上你的签名！》和“佩内洛普的画布......尤利西斯”。后者是“佩内洛普的画布......为她的追求者”的吊坠，两者都非常原创，因为它们不完整：它们被艺术家故意留白，艺术家打算在佩内洛普完成画布编织后立即对它们进行绘画：它们是两个，因为较大的一张是为尤利西斯准备的，另一张较小的则是为她的追求者准备的。
“加上你的签名！”，这位艺术家自己定义为“后、后、后当代”的作品，无非是最非凡的杰作，因为它可能是唯一由素未谋面的艺术家共同签名的杰作，以后也不会再见面；最便宜的，因为要加上一个人的签名，需要支付一亿欧元，但同时也是最慈善的，因为所支付的金额将完全专门用于来自发展中国家的特别聪明但极其贫困的学生的教育;最后，最不朽的是，因为世界上最重要的博物馆可以竞相展示最后一分钱来展出这部价值不菲的作品，从而使作者永垂不朽。
佛罗伦萨双年展是最大的当代艺术展览，每天上午 10 点至晚上 8 点开放。位于 Fortezza da Basso 展览中心 Spadolini 馆的下层。

Comment by Dr. Sabrina Falzone who – on FAfotoantologia.it – writes regarding the author’s participation in the sixth edition of the Florence Biennale:
The state of the Art... post, post, post-contemporary
Marco Salvatore Mallamaci, the most famous foreign artist in China, will participate in the 6th edition of the “International Biennial of Contemporary Art”, announced by the organizing body Arte Studio and with the High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic, which will take place in Florence at the exhibition pavilions of the Fortezza da Basso, located near Santa Maria Novella.
From 1 to 9 December 2007, three of Marco’s paintings will reach the art capital, together with other works by 840 artists from 76 nations for an extraordinary meeting between different cultures, languages and styles.
On display are three canvases by Marco, painted in oil, of great revolutionary significance: “Astolfo’s Ampoule”, “Add your signature!” and “Penelope’s Canvas… for Ulysses”. The latter is the pendant of “Penelope’s Canvas… for her Suitors”, both very original in their incompleteness: they have been deliberately left blank by the artist, who intends painting them as soon as Penelope finishes weaving the canvases: they are two because the larger one is for Ulysses and the other, smaller in size, for her Suitors.
“Add your signature!”, the work that the artist himself defines as “post, post, post-contemporary” is nothing else than the most extraordinary masterpiece because it could be the only masterpiece co-signed by artists who probably have never met, nor will they meet in future; the cheapest because to add one’s signature, one is required to pay one hundred million euros, but at the same time also the most charitable because the sum paid would be used entirely and exclusively for the education of particularly intelligent but extremely poor students from developing countries; finally, the most immortal because the most important museums in the world could compete to the last cent to be able to host this $u¢¢€$$fu£ work, making the author immortal.
The Florence Biennale, the largest contemporary art exhibition, can be visited every day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the lower floor of the Spadolini Pavilion inside the Fortezza da Basso exhibition center.

评论:
“马可艺术的革命性重要性在《添加你的签名！》中尤为明显。”在《佩内洛普的画布》中，这两个作品都具有令人难以置信的原创性，但它们的不完整性却令人难以置信。画布被艺术家故意留为空白，艺术家承诺一旦佩内洛普完成编织，就会给它们上色：有两个，最大的一个是给尤利西斯的，而另一个小得多的一个是给她的追求者的”。 （萨布丽娜·法尔佐尼博士）
Comment:
"The revolutionary importance of Marco’s art is particularly evident in “Add your Signature!” which contemplates a request that is impossible to fulfill, and in “Penelope’s Canvas”, both of them incredibly original in their incompleteness. The canvas were purposely left blank by the artist, who promises to color them as soon as Penelope finishes weaving them: there are two as the largest one is for Ulysses while the other much smaller one is for her suitors".
