monumento alla resistenza
MART, Rovereto
2020
monumento alla resistenza is a project conceived in collaboration with Arte Sella, divided in two locations. It's artist s a new sculpture configuration of the "packs of dogs" for a double exhibition held in the sculpture garden of the Mart and in Castel Ivano.
The sculptures are made with materials sourced on building sites, such as iron, tar, lead, metal mesh and concrete. This series was inspired by observation of unauthorised building and the unfinished projects dotted throughout Italy: threatening, odd and silent, the packs shift the debate over the fragility of our landscape and its protection onto an extremely human level. The resistance mentioned in the title therefore appears to be a form of adaptation that invites the public to empathise with the relationship with nature
