I-Mesh

Tapestries whose iconography and imagination represent the spirit of the age, formal sensibilities and manufacturing throughout history. Tapestries in I-MESH: the story of a multi-faceted, multi-functional thread that becomes a texture, a new material, a technical fabric that is fluid, tactile, versatile and iconic. A target and a blueprint for art, architecture and design. Tapestries in technora, basalt and carbon, monochrome and many-coloured. Alberto Fiorenzi has lifted the material from the world of performance, converted it and left it raw, naked before form and creation. He has once again bound the threads of the semantic future, creating links with the history of Superstudio and a conceptual dialogue with Cristiano Toraldo di Francia. 

The exhibition will also include Salida Basica, the collective that works on recycling as authorial waste in a constant state of metamorphosis. A collection which is meticulous in its linguistic distinctions and expressive potential – linked to minimalism here and to embellishment there, the contemporary infinity held in a thread. 

Straddling the limits between the arts, the Tapestry Collection by Alberto Fiorenzi presents unique pieces of formal research focused on subtraction – Ico Migliore – material geometries on texture – Marco Ferreri – and the colourful virtuosity of Alberonero. From projects that explore the full forms of graphic design by Pierpaolo Pitacco and the slender, almost sketched designs of Lis Beltran & Alberto Lievore to the lines of Rona Meyuchas Koblenz that open up like flowing waves, approach the syntax of Ippolito Fleitz and return to the source, the iconic histogram by Toraldo di Francia, a sort of closure that opens up once again to the perspectives of the contemporary supersurface.
