Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This black and white photographic artwork depicts two distinct scenes. The top image shows a group of people working together on a large-scale project, with the focus on the collaborative process and the physicality of the work. The bottom image zeroes in on the hands of an individual engaged in the careful construction of a geometric, abstract design. The overall composition and juxtaposition of these two scenes suggest a commentary on the creative process, highlighting both the collective and the individual aspects of artistic production. The use of stark contrasts, sharp angles, and a monochromatic palette contribute to a modernist aesthetic, reflecting the artist's interest in exploring the formal qualities of the medium. The historical context and the artist's intention behind this piece likely speak to the evolving nature of artistic practice in the mid-20th century, where collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches were gaining prominence alongside more individualistic expressions. ...

Artist

Bruno Munari

1907

Bruno Munari was born in Milan, Italy in 1907 and was died in 1998. He began his career at an early age during the second wave of Italian Futurists. In the years following, he progressively moved away from the influence of Futurism, developing an extremely personal and singular project over the course of 60 years. In 1930, he produced the Aerial Machine, from which came his Macchine Inutili (Useless Machines), anticipating his interest in the deconstruction of the traditional work of art.

Kaufmann Repetto

Milan, New York City

francesca kaufmann gallery opened in January 2000. Since then, the gallery has aimed to explore a diverse range of media, with a focus on video, site specific installation, and a special attention towards the works of female artists. After ten years in its historical location, the gallery opened in a new space in October 2010, under the name kaufmann repetto, to mark the partnership between Francesca Kaufmann and Chiara Repetto. In its new location, the gallery has been able to further develop its exhibition programming through a project space dedicated predominantly to younger artists, as well as a courtyard for large scale outdoor installations, which run parallel to the gallery’s main exhibition schedule. In 2013, the gallery inaugurated a new location in Chelsea, New York, with a parallel program to the gallery’s main space in Milan. In 2019 the New York location moved to Tribeca, expanding to a 3,000 sq ft exhibition space. The inaugural exhibition at the gallery’s new space in Tribeca was a solo show by Lily van der Stokker. ...
