Studio+Matthew Barney for PIOMBO
The brand PIOMBO presented and event in occasion of the 2nd number of STUDIO magazine at the beautiful Palazzo Budini Gattai in the center of Florence.
STUDIO was presenting “La Fabbrica di Matthew Barney”, a photo portfolio by Ari Marcopoulos: this project is the result of the meeting between two artists of the caliber of Ari Marcopoulos and Matthew Barney: “a series of portraits and an exclusive feature for the cover story of Studio’s second issue. A trip into the present, the past and the future of this great American contemporary artist who, through the lens of Marcopoulos, opens the doors to his workshop in New York, the place where – amidst black metal, football and esotericism – Barney’s visions are turned into the mammoth narrations that have made him universally famous.”
It wasn’t anything breathtaking but the mixture of the raw simple pics and the incredible garden and palazzo Budini Gattai, the “aperitivo-people” and Barney looking at us, gave me a particular feeling…kind of ironic.
Next time I will speak again about emerging talents and the Texmedin Contest where I was invited to take part of the Jury.
In the mean time I’d like to inform you that the deadline for the sustainable contest MADE IN CARDATO was extended until july 15th, I think it is an interesting opportunity with great prizes! go on for it!!! let people know!!!
