« Sull’Impronta »
Francesco and Andrea Strizzi
24 June - 8 July 2023
Vernissage: Saturday 24 June, 16hr - 19hr
Two
sculptural researchers have as a common trait, the use of imprint to create a
« space of sound ».
On one
side , the testimony of a past sound; traces like fossils that
reconstruct a score, a tactile path of listening.
On the
other, couples of elements ; sensitive to enter into a relationship of
acoustic resonance.
The contrast between flat and curved volumes, between
full and empty, distinguishes both works.
In
one case, it coexists in a single support that offers us the photograph of a
past sound. In the other, it takes the form of a dualism of acoustic systems,
inert but potentially capable of generating sound.
Francesco
Strizzi, trained in lutherie at the Civica Scuola di Liuteria
di Milano, graduated in sculpture from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera and
in Sound-Art at the ARD&NT Institute in Milan. He proposes a series of
works entitled « Relazioni Invisibili » in which two types of
geometric solids, arranged as inert elements, carry within them the potential
generation of a harmonic sound.
The two
systems, parallelepipeds and hollow spheres are tuned two by two on the same
frequency and if coupled, they enter into a sympathetic relationship, they
resonate, they generate a sound.
The
sounds resulting from these dualisms, recorded, becomes a musical composition
that accompanies the visual tension between the elements.
Andrea
Strizzi is an Italian sculptor trained at the Accademia
di Belle Arti di Brera, where he currently works. His current project
"Toccare il suono - Impronte Sonore" proposes a series of
audio-tactile installations, created with the participation of
percussionist Stefano Corbetta.
The
drumsticks of the musician leave on the surface of the fresh clay the traces of
the sound action, the sound of which is recorded. The baked clay, which bears
witness to it in the manner of a score, allows you to tactilely retrace the
generative path of the work, accompanied by listening through headphones to the
sounds that have marked its furrows.
