The beginning is marked by the meeting with Giovanni Testori and the participation at the exhibition Artists and Writers at the Rotonda della Besana in Milan. After some solo exhibitions, his painting focuses on the tragedy that destroys part of Valtellina at the end of the eighties, grouping his work in Paesaggio Cancellato, an exhibition curated by Roberto Tassi (1990). At the end of the nineties, he is invited to the Quadriennale in Rome, in those years he begins an artistic journey throughout the ports of the Mediterranean and Southern Italy: in this context Isolitudine is born in 2000 together with Ferdinando Scianna , and MIXtura in 2003, with Franco Battiato…<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2004 Electa publishes Velasco 20, a monograph on his first twenty years of work with a contribution by Giulio Giorello. Extramoenia (2004-2005) is an exhibition commissioned by the Region of Sicily, set up in Palermo (Palazzo Belmonte Riso) and Milan (Palazzo della Ragione). In 2005 he joins the MACRO\u2019s collection in Rome. He creates Images, forms and nature of the Alps (2007) and LATO4 (2008), curated by Danilo Eccher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sbarco (2010), set up in Piazza Duomo and in the complex of Sant’Agostino in Pietrasanta and in Milan in Piazza Duca D’Aosta and Palazzo Reale, is curated by Fernando Mazzocca and Francesco Poli. In 2011 he is invited to the Italian Pavilion of the Venice Biennale where he exhibits Veidrodis, the LKFF Gallery in Brussels hosts his solo show Branco, and Apriti Cielo is published by Skira, a collection of watercolors on the theme of the sacred: among these are some of the drawings made for the cultural page of Il Corriere della Sera, with whom he has been collaborating since 2007. In 2012 he created Foresta Rossa, an artistic intervention on Isola Madre (Stresa) and in Verbania, curated by Luca Molinari. The study of ghost towns, already at the base of this last installation, continues the following year with the solo exhibition Foresta Rossa: 416 citt\u00e0 fantasma nel mondo at the Triennale di Milano, curated by Luca Molinari and Francesco Clerici. Still in 2013 he proposes three new monumental sculpture projects: Aria at the LKFF Gallery in Brussels, Branco at the Vittoriale degli Italiani, curated by Flavio Arensi, and Medi Terraneo at the Ruffo castle in Scilla. In 2014 he exhibits the sculpture Traditio Symboli in the Duomo of Milan and participates to the IV Biennale Gherdeina of sculpture in Ortisei, Val Gardena. <\/span><\/p>\n

In February 2015 he is invited to the Berlinale (winner of the FIPRESCI award) as producer and protagonist of the documentary Il Gesto Delle Mani directed by Francesco Clerici which portrays him during the execution of a bronze sculpture. In June of the same year, at the invitation of Emilio Mazzoli, he returns to exhibit in the gallery, with the exhibition FUGA (curated by Mark Gisbourne and Giacinto di Pietrantonio), at the Mazzoli Gallery in Modena. In 2017 he curates and designs (with the collaboration of Peter Greenaway) the exhibition Time Out dedicated to Giancarlo Vitali at Palazzo Reale, Castello Sforzesco, Museo di Storia Naturale and Casa del Manzoni. The project Veduta, curated by Danilo Eccher, at the M77 Gallery in Milan, takes place in 2019; the same year he proposes the installation Branco in the royal court of the Reggia di Venaria in Turin and in 2020 he designs a monument to the Resistance for the museum’s sculpture park and in Castel Ivano (TN), in collaboration with Arte Sella and the Mart of Rovereto.<\/span><\/p>\n

The work Sbarco from this year is present in two different versions at the new PART museum in Rimini and at the Mole Vanvitelliana in Ancona. Between 2020 and 2021 he presents the exhibition Goldwatch in double exposure at the Assab One gallery in Milan and the Circolo di Bellano space and collaborates with the Giovanni Falcone Foundation in Palermo for the project Spazi Capaci – Comunit\u00e0 Capaci, curated by Alessandro De Lisi with a monumental intervention at the bunker hall of the Ucciardone prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having always been passionate about handmade products, I entered the world of ceramics in 1987; there I discovered the possibility and pleasure of shaping a versatile material such as clay. The path became more and more fascinating, leading to the desire to be able to bake and coat the raw pieces with ‘clothes’ suitable to their different shapes. The meeting with master Daniel de Montmollin has been of great importance; I learnt from him not only the technique and movements of turning, but also the method of calculating and making glazes with raw materials obtained from the area where I live, among others…<\/span><\/p>\n

The path became more and more fascinating, leading to the desire to be able to bake and coat the raw pieces with ‘clothes’ suitable to their different shapes. The meeting with master Daniel de Montmollin has been of great importance; I learnt from him not only the technique and movements of turning, but also the method of calculating and making glazes with raw materials obtained from the area where I live, among others. In 1990, together with my husband, who is as passionate about research as I am, I set up a ceramics atelier in Colico, where we create unique stoneware and porcelain pieces, modelled by hand on the potter’s wheel and coated with glazes that are the result of meticulous analysis and experimentation linked to nature as a source of inspiration. At the same time, under the guidance of master D.de Montmollin, I undertook a pedagogical training through the use of slip: a pedagogical \u201csituation\u201d where the participant is accompanied towards personal awareness and development, to the discovery of the potential of the hand in the freedom of the creative gesture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Magnus Lindgren (born V\u00e4ster\u00e5s. Sweden,1974) first made his mark as a persuasive, dynamic and charismatic soloist on saxophones, flute and clarinet; he is still possibly the pre-eminent jazz flautist in Europe. He combines this prowess with a vivid musical imagination and immense self-discipline, strengths which have led to an increasing recognition  in recent years of his unique, stellar talent as arranger\/composer. Lindgren is currently Artist in Residence with the SWR Big Band in Stuttgart, and also with the Bielefelder Philarmoniker. In these roles he takes responsibility for the delivery of major projects, and also pro-actively influences the core sound and expands the musical horizons of these ensembles. <\/span><\/p>\n

The album which he co-wrote and arranged with John Beasley for the SWR Big Band, \u201cBird Lives\u201d, (ACT) was nominated for two Grammys and won one. As one critic wrote recently of a concert by the SWR Big Band in Kaiserslautern: \u201cThe multi-award-winning Lindgren succeeded in everything he touched. His arrangements were marvels, bringing sparkling surprises, full of contrasts and unexpected twists and turns. With a complete awareness of the big band tradition, he was nonetheless opening up new worlds: harmonically, melodically and technically.”<\/span><\/p>\n
