Late Spring

New series of blooming pictures on Caterina Gabelli's tumblr.
We wish you a beneficial time of renewal.

Gli Experimenti / 1

It is heartwarming when brief encounters concretize into projects or - better in our case - experiments.
GLI EXPERIMENTI exhibition is a remix of our past project and a new take on our creative attitude. Our installations were organized into 5 areas/values: Heritage; Union of Opposites; Analogy; Chain Reaction; Metamorphic, blended into Giulia's house furniture.

Gli Experimenti / 2

Live animation with an old-school overhead projector for the opening of GLI EXPERIMENTI, c/o Giulia Mirandola Progettazione, Rovereto (TN).

FRONDE / Dare Luogo

 FRONDE is based in Venice and is trying to foster interaction in the public space of the city through artistic interventions, promoting the exchange between different populations (residents, passers-by, kids, students and the elderly) and stimulate social processes.

Out Of Place - Powerful Plants

Conceptual styling work for PLANTS OUT OF PLACE project, directed by Coloni & Studio Aikieu - London Design Festival 2015. 

They called us to action on the concept that a weed is a plant out of place, undesirable because out of human control.

Out Of Place - Making Of

We share with you some backstage pictures of our contribution for the project Plants Out of Place, directed by Studio Aikieu (UK) and Coloni (Sweden) and launched at the recent London Design Festival 2015.

The collective project seeks to engage with the wider communities to re-consider the value of wild plants and how we may utilise them to design for a better future.

D) area d'azione (disegno, pittura, fotografia, animazione, ...) / your sphere of interests: Ci siamo formati come pittori, ma nell'ultimo anno abbiamo lavorato tanto a questo libro. Inoltre entrambi pratichiamo la fotografia analogica, con vecchi macchinari, più che per realizzare delle buone foto, perché ci piace la resa finale meno fredda e meno perfetta delle foto digitali. / We trained as painters, but during this last year we have worked a lot for this book. Moreover we practice analog photography, with old sought machinery, because we like the final yield that is less cold and less perfect than the digital photos.

Star Wars / Making Of 2

New book!   SPECIMEN - A Pocket Map of the Unknown.

Freshly printed and launched like a space rocket in the sky.

Star Wars / Making Of

SPECIMEN is a screenprinted booklet about Macrocosm, Microcosm and things that we don't know.
We launch it at last bursting Pick Me Up Festival, that brought us as well as over 16.000 visitors into the majestic Somerset House in London. It took us almost one year to finish and we couldn't have done it without the mastery of Paolo Berra and Print About Me, that printed and published it.

Journey Through The Unknown

SPECIMEN is out!

A circular exploration from a single cell to one of the possible universes. A pocket map of the Unknown. The text is composed by 12 currently unsolved questions in science.

Screen-printed with fine mastery by Paolo Berra  and published by lovely Print About Me in Turin (Italy).

Fondamenta 3.0 - Three Projects

FONDAMENTA 3.0 - May 31st, Fondamenta della Misericordia, Venezia - public art project

We were part of a team composed by four curators of m.a.c Lab Cà Foscari (Anna Zerbaro - Pulsart; Gianluca d'Incà Levis - Dolomiti Contemporanee; Viviana Carlet - Lago Film Fest; Marco Baravalle - Sale Docks). As Studio Fludd we curated 3 projects among the 15 selected: Dream Circus, by Daniele Catalli; Close-line, by Cécile Barraud de Lagerie; Battleship by Giulia Belli and Riccardo Giacomini. We'd like to offer you a closest view on these three works and four special people. Enjoy!
