Inventario 17: Everything is a Project -9791254930328

描述

Inventario arrives at its seventeenth issue, this time with a cover dedicated to the brick, a powerful catalyst of ideas and creator of infinite design possibilities design possibilities, an object ‘anything but heavy’ as Stefano Salis defines it in his Exercises in Style where he shows its many alternative uses in an astonishing reversal of perspective. In Normal Wonders Damiano Gullì tells us about Oscar Abraham Pabón who, starting with the brick, makes a sophisticated reflection on structure and surface, ornament and decoration, monochromy and polychromy, rhythm and reiteration; as in the Beppe Finessi’s Bounces, where artists and designers make the shape of the cube a module from which to generate new meanings and analogies. For Temporalia Mirko Zardini takes us back to the first uses of barbed wire and then to its recent applications in the art world. Paolo Bocchi recounts the experiment Chew Your Own Brooch by Ted Noten, and Anna Sedino also writes about Gold, extolling the properties of a stone rich in memories and deceptive mirages. The Short Notes illustrated by Giulio Iacchetti are dedicated to the adhesive tape holder, while Stefania di Maria describes a rich sampler of bonsai scissors. We move on to photography with the Other Gazes by Giulia Zorzi dedicated to Jessica Backhaus and Manolo De Giorgi’s Hues that explore the meanings of the colour violet. Finally, in an Personal Inventory full of images, Beppe Finessi recalls the life and works of Italo Lupi, architect and master of graphic design.

Inventario is a new editorial initiative created and managed by Beppe Finessi, edited by Corraini, promoted and supported by Foscarini.
