WINNERS OF ARTE LAGUNA PRIZE | 19th EDITION 2024

OVERALL WINNER

Sezione: SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATION

Title: Rockit Black
Motivation: Tanda Francis’ work “Rockit Black” was awarded the Arte Laguna Prize not only based on its conceptual rigor and sculptural dimension, but for it’s innovative use of material (remnants of structures used to board up buildings during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 at the dismay of police brutality) This work holds significant presence within the exhibition on both a radical and poetic way that speaks to the urgency of global discourses surrounding identity politics. This is alarmingly stark in the wake of the recent US election results where marginalised voices are at risk of being acknowledged and celebrated.

Marco Hemmerling | Arte Laguna Prize Marco Hemmerling
Cologne, Germany

Motivation

Marco Hemmerling has a particular interest in the complexity of the human movement, striving to express it through use of 3D-printing technology. He transforms the fleetingness of motion into the permanence of sculptural objects. We were fascinated by his use of simple materials like clay and discarded plastic to execute complex ideas. His environmentally-aware practice is underpinned by a solid academic background.

MXPRIVE | Arte Laguna Prize MXPRIVÈ
Berlin, Germany

Motivation

Mxprivè succeeds with his images in transforming architecture into art; his images have great expressive power and the ability to express emotions through details and geometry.

Antonio Fascicolo - Anthony FloWish | Arte Laguna Prize Anthony FloWish
Bari, Italy (1961)

Motivation

Antonio Fascicolo succeeds in connecting architecture with the fleeting and fast flow of people who live it, pass through it by relating the inanimate to the animate. The result, an artistic shot that seems to want to capture the flowing life that animates the city, architectures and places.

AZIENDA MANDRANOVA
Agrigento, Italy

Martine Seibert-Raken | Arte Laguna Prize Martine Seibert-Raken
Luneburg, Germany

Motivation

In her series “Once upon a time…”, the Martine Seibert-Raken explores the relationship between people, nature and space, transience, and the question of “what remains”. She deals with socially relevant issues such as responsibility, respect, and tolerance. Interaction, especially with the viewer, is fundamental to her artistic concept. Presented in a cloud-like and seemingly light manner, in an intangible and almost poetic form, she allows a different approach and a new perspective on the challenges of our time. Her artistic approach touches on aspects that resonate with Mandranova’s philosophy, and which hold great significance to the company in all its activities.

SUSTAINABILITY AND ART

COREVE
Milan, Italy

Andrea Papi | Arte Laguna Prize Andrea Papi
Urbino, Italy (1985)

Motivation

Andrea Papi’s work perfectly represents the life cycle of the glass bottle, arranging the various moments in a circular form and thus embodying the principles of sustainability namely Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. Through a synergy with CoReVe, the artist emphasizes the importance of respect and connection with the environment, made possible by the development of circular economies. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the cycle of glass, which is 100 percent infinitely recyclable, and which, from waste becomes a valuable resource, transforming itself into a second raw material that will be re-melted to create a new bottle without losing any of its characteristics.

BIOREPACK
Milan, Italy

Federica Soldani | Arte Laguna Prize Soldani
Bisceglie, Italy

Motivation

Federica Claudia Soldani’s work addresses the theme of rebirth, combining sculptural techniques with the element Earth to emphasize the bond and necessary respect between man and nature. In addition, the use of earth echoes and emphasizes the life cycle of bioplastic, which, from a packaging material, biodegrades and becomes compost. This call for sustainability invites reflection on the transformation of materials and the importance of a harmonious connection with the environment.
