Workshop
2009
Fondazione Spinola Banna per l'Arte, Poirino (TO) (visiting professor Peter Friedl)
I wanted to take particular advantage of the workshop in order to force me to use different working methods, possibly even those opposite to mine. In discussions with Peter and with the other students some of my doubts have been, perhaps, consolidated and some of my certainty shattered, but this is part of the game. Nothing is easy. More than anything else, I wanted to take the liberty of making a Sgarro to my artistic ego: to enter a dark corridor and force myself to find an exit.
