Friday, 12 December 2008
New work by Michela Vianello
Venice
The line of moments, representation and the essence of time is transformed into fire, sand, glass. This is Dynamei, the new work of the artist Michela Vianello, presented in world premiere in the furnace Andromeda, Gianluca Vecchi, with a performance (by Pantakin), which are intertwined music, the word recited, handling.

A sort of enormous hourglass where sedimented philosophy, science, theology, physics, where you ask questions and seek answers. This time the main theme. The time expressed through the choice of using balls, curves and lines but also numbers - 4, 7, 22 - pointing to theories and concepts of scientific research and western philosophy. For the occasion, the furnace was set up with a series of informal-installation material made with sand, glass, iron, bricks and mortar. Dynamei - translated from the greek means "The moments of now" - is a work that fits within the current artistic OpticalArt characterized from moving from relazionetra dynamism and immobility of fact. This is the first "cold glass sculpture" made in Murano, where the artist rather than forging together shaping a mass of hot glass has chosen to create individual elements (ie beads, cherimandano the concept of eternity), from which composition is determined by the sense of the work. Composed by 2MIL balls blown and shaped by hand, the work is 3.20 meters high and weighs 600 kilograms.

"For our company begins a new" humanism "- said Vecchi - all forget from where comes the things, instead we want to highlight the fact that behind every item we produce is the man, we thought, there is the philosophy, culture, hope, the dream. This is "Humanism", to give value to those who, in their hands. "The presentation of Dynamei is the first of a new campaign of thought and communication company." It is an investment in the future - adds Vecchi -- we think that is coming to a rebirth of what makes the man. In this economic crisis so strong people are rediscovering to continue to live. The art is part of our I: we want to show that you can combine daily needs with a broader artistic vision. "
