Alessandro Lupi: Flux


An old acquaintance of the Lighting Guerrilla festival, Alessandro Lupi chose arcades at the bank under Three Bridges for the site of his sculpture installation. In his characteristic manner he will create a site-specific sculpture made of thread which grows into the architecture as a parasite. By means of controlled ventilators, as well as by the wind itself, the installation will acquire a moment of dynamic but unpredictable mobility. The artist’s works highlight questions about art in public space which, in the recent years, have fall victim to overwhelming decrease. The work enchanting with its structure and its simple but effective fine-art appearance should therefore be understood as a small political gesture pointing at the fate of public space whose future does not seem very bright, since the recently developed tendencies are still expanding.

 

Alessandro Lupi was born in Genoa, Italy, where he graduated from the art academy. At the end of the 1990s he started with intense artistic explorations of light and space. At that time he devised his first sculptures made of threads. Usually he portrays static or kinetic human figures establishing dialogue with the surrounding space. Frequently he also adds soundscapes. Heretofore Lupi held a number of resounding personal exhibitions both at home and abroad. Currently he lives and works between Genoa and Berlin.
