“In 10×100 the dialogue between artist and company proceeds along this path allowing for listening and settling.”
Since I met Giovanardi SpA Company two years ago, for the project Anna-Monumento all’Attenzione, I came into contact with an organization that, not only accomplished the project, but has actively contributed with its own know-how and its own professional and human value. I met people that embraced my ideas, listened and enriched them.
In “10×100” the dialogue between artist and company proceeds along this path allowing for listening and settling. This project, as it is structured, allows the project to nourish itself, grow and breath, instead of finding in this productive phase only a deaf moment of accelerated execution.
It’s a fertile dialogue that produces energy. An energy that reflects in all the aspects of this event: from the moment you enter the company to the moment you touch the materials, discovering possible new solutions and shapes where ideas may snuggle up and grow. It’s an opening, from a company, totally unexpected, rare and precious that I, as an artist, have the privilege to enjoy.
