Two weeks before the start of Design Week in Milano we called the printer telling him to catch up fluo paper and ink. we're ready to print the second carne fresca issue.
What is called a mecca for self-made productions of a huge amount of artists in London, a silk screen printing lab easily comprehensible and above all attended by very interesting personalities. An experience I'd love to repeat and that allowed me to test techniques i wanted to try for the realization of my personal projects.
Hey man, along with your carry-on fill up a pipe with 100 posters, we're going to test the foreign business!
We bought the Offf tickets as simple audience, and during the breaks between the various conventions we arranged some unauthorized tables with our stuff, real fun experience and, above all, great reply from the audience.
A great reply for the Carnefresca project, which has been presented at Salone del Mobile in Milano as a street shop action, just 3 euros, a really symbolic price, to achieve very reduced circulation pieces, 300 copies for poster.
We are very happy and satisfied of the result and reaction of the people, the first seed have been sown.
A couple of years ago, driven by curiosity and interest over images and imaginaries that can be created, I started to archive the result of a huge and sometimes obsessive research of images.
The most interesting questions of the research are basically two:
Which can be the source of the images? and, above all, an image which has been created for a specific purpose, when and how can be cleared from its master function and achieve another one?
Lost/data is the name of the blog where i post the outcome of my most unusual researches, trying to create single post with a proper logic and consistency, with the goal of share them and maybe give an interesting cue to who may visit my blog and thus decontextualize the images from their nature.
During a nightly chat with my mate Soyuze in our small flat at spruce street, philadelphia, we started to develop the idea of creating an independent designer collective, in which there's no rules or binds, a place where each and every single component could freely express his ideas and visions.
A way to self product our most interesting artworks and try to cover the expenses somehow, a way to show our creations in an easy but appealing manner to whom it may concern and eventually become a part of the collective.
