Despite a number of more or less fascinating, more or less utopian attempts to change the status quo, art is still seen as something which dresses the exterior of existence and not as something which dwells within it (or art as a ready made cloths).
If a garment can be regarded as something awaiting the form of a human body - sanctioned according to the times - then perhaps this bad habit can be overcome.
Giovanni Iovane, Published in "Incontri", Documenta X
4 seemstresses collaborated with me and made clothes and other creative objects and sold the items to the visitors. The seemstresses just used the textile I designed (2 colorcombinations). That textile was at the same time the catologue of the show.
progetto arte
Progetto arte is based on the idea, that art is the most sensitive and complete expression of human thought and that the time has come for artists to take on the responsability of establishing ties among all other human activities, from economics to politics, science to religion, education to behaviour - in a word among the threads that make up the fabric of society. The range of questions is oriented after aspects of everyday life; clothing, food, furniture, architecture, music and urban situations create the point of departure for artistic reflection.
