THE APPLAUD - Curated by Giorgio Canale
Marmomac, Veronafiere from September 26 to 29, 2023
VERONA, ITALY -- A major innovation will greet the audience at Marmomac: for the first time in the event's history, a work will take shape over the four days of the fair. The Applaud is a dynamic installation curated by architect Giorgio Canale, conceived to push experimentation to its highest expression and highlight the potential of natural stone. Therefore, it is not a static exhibition of a work produced in the previous weeks, but, on the contrary, The Applaud will give life to a sculpture by artist Andreas Senoner*.
Fragment – the sculpture's title – fits into the South Tyrolean artist's research on the fragment's theme in archaeology, understood as a container of stories and meanings from the past. Human history comprises traces and elements that recreate a testimony of its passage and allow those who study it to reconstruct distant events and facts. The work, made of Imperial Cameo marble, reproduces two overlapped fingers of superhuman dimensions that allude to the symbolic gesture of crossed fingers.
