Expiring drawings

Projects for private clients can go through suspensions due to changing wishes, to the complexity of administrative procedures... An interval in which critical aspects are investigated through an unusual amount of drawings, a time in which even intense design solutions appear, however taking on the ephemeral character of this pause and are not then realized according to those drawings.
/
Quando progetti per clienti privati attraversano sospensioni dovute a desideri che mutano, alla complessità delle procedure amministrative, si stabilisce un intervallo che consente di indagare aspetti critici, un tempo in cui appaiono soluzioni progettuali anche intense e complete che assumono però il carattere effimero di questa pausa e non sono poi realizzate secondo quei disegni.

Casa R. - T.T. (Black Italy 002)

Spaces are defined by establishing relationships between audio devices, lights and plants, presences that follow and enable intimate behaviors and domestic broadcasting practices. When it was first opened this apartment hosted a concert and a performance as Centrale Fies off site.
/
Gli spazi sono definiti stabilendo relazioni tra dispositivi audio, luci e piante, presenze che seguono e consentono comportamenti intimi e pratiche di trasmissione domestica. Alla sua prima apertura questa casa  ha ospitato un concerto e una performance come sito off di Centrale Fies.

Casa Cicca Museum (Black Italy 004)

The program of this small house museum required a space for artists in residence and one for the work of curator Giulia Currà. The house was already split in half, so the two spaces are analogues except for minimal variations.

When one of the spaces of Casa Cicca Museum stages a live action, this is broadcast and post-produced in the other. The two sets can swing roles in real time.
