The art group Opificio della Rosa will be in London from 9 to 12 May to present a preview of its latest project: Torri & Muta for Fabriano Paper Pavilion.<\/h3>\n

 
\nTwo volumes that tell the story of the Fabriano Paper Pavilion<\/strong>, the site-specific installation created in 2019 for UNESCO Creative Cities Conference, and explore the highlights of the project, celebrating the mastery of the art of papermaking and its artistic declinations through the work of RUFA lecturers Maria Pina Bentivenga<\/a> and Gianna Bentivenga<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will be a week of events organised by the Fedrigoni Creative Space, as part of London Craft Week<\/a>, which aim to recreate the magic of the Fabriano Paper Pavilion starting with the installation of a selection of works on paper: engravings, watermarks, books and meetings with the authors.<\/p>\n

EDITORIAL PROJECCT TORRI & MUTA<\/span><\/h4>\n

Torri & Muta is a double publication edited by Umberto Giovannini<\/a>, documenting the work of artists Maria Pina Bentivenga (Torri project) and Gianna Bentivenga (Muta project) for the Fabriano Paper Pavilion.
\nThe Torri & Muta publishing project is based on the idea of the artist’s book in which it is the content that shapes the container:<\/strong> the craftsmanship of the work, the use of materials and the papers used, take account of an internal narrative construction which, during the two years of preparation work, suggested experimental approaches that contemplated the use of papers not created for publishing. There are different sections for each book with the projects, the works realised and the photographic documentation of the installations by Ilaria Costanzo and Jacopo Nanni Bartolucci.
\nThe books were printed in Italy, in 700 numbered copies bound by hand.<\/p>\n

FABRIANO PAPER PAVILION<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Fabriano Paper Pavilion began as a temporary installation in the historical Complex of Cartiere Miliani, conceived as a poetic journey into the world of paper and paper mills<\/strong>. The site-specific project was commissioned by Fondazione Fedrigoni Fabriano on the occasion of the XIII UNESCO Creative Cities Conference held in June 2019 in Fabriano, and has now become a permanent exhibition.
\nWhat visitors pass through is the fruit of a collaborative project by a group of artists who have created, for this event, an impressive body of works on paper in a dense and constant dialogue with the historical heritage, with its filigrees and shapes, with copper and brass,<\/strong> clashing with the impalpability of cotton pulp and the heaviness of bronze, in a profound and continuous relationship with the light that allows this wonderful exchange to manifest itself.
\nThe group of artists has elaborated magical declinations of filigree, chalcography and drawing, reinventing spaces and their movement through light and shadow: a poetic journey, curated by Umberto Giovannini, which takes shape thanks to the iconographic constructions of the artists Gianna Bentivenga and Maria Pina Bentivenga, the design of the exhibition and shadows by Anusc Castiglioni and the lighting by Massimo Zanelli.
\n2019 a Fabriano, ed \u00e8 ora diventato un’esposizione permanente.
\nQuello che il visitatore attraversa \u00e8 il frutto di un progetto collaborativo di un gruppo di artisti che ha realizzato, per questo evento, un’imponente mole di opere su carta in un dialogo denso e costante con il patrimonio storico, con le sue filigrane e le sue forme, con il rame e l’ottone, scontrandosi con l’impalpabilit\u00e0 della polpa di cotone e con la pesantezza del bronzo, in una profonda e continua relazione con la luce che permette a questo meraviglioso scambio di manifestarsi.
\nIl gruppo di artisti ha elaborato magiche declinazioni della filigrana, della calcografia e del disegno reinventando gli spazi e il loro movimento attraverso le luci e le ombre: un percorso poetico, curato da Umberto Giovannini, che prende corpo grazie alle costruzioni iconografiche delle artiste Gianna Bentivenga e Maria Pina Bentivenga, al progetto di allestimento e ombre di di Anusc Castiglioni e alle luci di Massimo Zanelli.<\/p>\n
