Our Connection to the Universe.

The book Resonances and the eponymous 2020 exhibition at the are inspired by the reflection of Gulumbu Yunupingu, a Yolngu artist from the Arnhem Land (Northern Australia):

“I looked at the universe, I looked at this place, Earth, the people, and the stars, and I thought: we are exactly like the stars. Grouped together, very close to each other. In fact, we are one, like the stars. There are so many of us living on Earth. The Earth, the sea, the sky, it’s a continuum. It’s one and the same thing.”

This powerful message invites us to reconsider our relationship with the environment and the entire universe.

Jean Paul Riopelle : une vie d’art et de liberté

Né à Montréal en 1923, Jean Paul Riopelle a marqué l’histoire de l’art par son engagement avec les Automatistes et son adhésion au Refus global. Proche des surréalistes à Paris, il devient une figure clé de l’abstraction lyrique. Ses célèbres « mosaïques » des années 1950 révèlent un chromatisme vibrant et une approche unique où nature et abstraction se rencontrent. Lauréat du Prix de l’UNESCO en 1962, cet amoureux de la nature nous a quittés en 2002, laissant un héritage artistique inestimable.

“This painting is truly special.
People outside the APY Lands might see it as being a beautiful artwork. They will respond to the colour and design. The truth is this painting holds powerful memories for the women of all the APY communities. This painting is our history. It marks a very important and powerful time for Anangu women. This is what we see, what Anangu women will always see when we look at this work”.

“Tradition is husbanding fire, not adoring ashes.”

🍷 Starting from this quote attributed to Mahler, Fondation pour la culture et les civilisations du vin, with headquarters in Bordeaux, decided to invite eminent figures in the glass design field to reflect on it.

📖 The result is a book that explores the unique relationship between wine and its containers.

Featuring designers like Achille Castiglioni and Gaetano Pesce, the book shows how glass objects can transcend mere functionality and enhance the wine-tasting experience itself.

Can You?

More than just a question, the iconic “Can You Pass the Acid Test?” poster encapsulates the essence of the 1960s counterculture.

Created to promote the Grateful Dead’s legendary “Acid Tests,” these events were a fusion of music, experimentation, and the quest for expanded consciousness. The question posed in the poster wasn’t just about a drug test—it was an invitation to challenge societal norms and explore new realms of experience.

This poster still resonates today as a reminder of how the 1960s revolutionized art, culture, and the way we perceive reality.

Something red.

When fashion meets pop art, the result is pure genius.

Andy Warhol’s Souper Dress (1960) takes the iconic Campbell’s Soup Can and turns it into something entirely unexpected—high fashion.

This playful piece isn’t just a dress, but a statement about consumer culture and the blending of everyday objects with art. Warhol’s work blurs the lines between luxury and the mundane, making the Souper Dress a symbol of 1960s pop culture and the genius of turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.

Dans l’art Moba, on distingue trois types de sculptures anthropomorphes, toutes désignées sous le terme de tchitchiri. Elles représentent soit des ancêtres précis, identifiés dans la généalogie d’une famille ou d’un clan, soit des ancêtres non identifiés incarnant l’humanité prise dans un sens plus large. Qu’il soit considéré comme religieux ou plus simplement comme social, l’art Moba est avant tout utilitaire, et l’artiste Moba excelle dans le rôle qui lui est dévolu : exprimer le plus en montrant le moins – en un mot, aller à l’essentiel.

Il meraviglioso viaggio estetico e meditativo in uno dei più sorprendenti siti archeologici dell’antichità classica, racchiuso nel volume INTERNO POMPEIANO, è anche una mostra che espone una selezione degli oltre 1450 scatti del fotografo Luigi Spina. Fino al 6 ottobre 2024 è il Palazzo Ducale di Gubbio a ospitare la mostra dedicata a questo progetto editoriale. L’idea di accogliere la mostra in questo luogo è ispirata al fatto che il Palazzo ospiti – seppure ricostruito – uno degli studioli di Federico da Montefeltro, uno spazio di meditazione pensato su forme e iconografie che possono facilmente costruire uno stretto dialogo con gli interni pompeiani.
