WINNERS OF ARTE LAGUNA PRIZE | 19th EDITION 2024

OVERALL WINNERS

Ohau Chen | Arte Laguna Prize

Sezione: SCULTURA E INSTALLAZIONE 
Prezzo: Non in vendita

Titolo: Back to Glory: Make __ great again
Motivazione: L’opera presenta un futuro distopico in cui gli anziani vengono convinti a servire l’esercito nazionale in preparazione alla guerra. Sebbene ipotetico, parla della realtà di guerra e terrore che sono presenti e minacciosi per tutti noi. L’artista mette in primo piano il dilemma di chi sacrificare. La generazione più giovane o gli anziani? L’artista invita il pubblico a partecipare a una votazione per decidere se lasciare che gli anziani si sacrifichino può essere una soluzione al problema. Il cinismo dell’opera accentua la critica profonda dell’artista su questioni importanti della nostra società sempre più tecnocratizzata. Richiede riflessioni più approfondite su questioni come il modo in cui il corpo umano è disumanizzato e strumentalizzato, il processo decisionale e la struttura governativa e la promessa fallimentare della democrazia in cui il sistema binario ha continuato a funzionare presentando l’illusione di poter scegliere. Siamo anche impressionati dall’uso dell’artista di vari media e approcci interdisciplinari al lavoro. Il particolare senso dello humor dell’artista e la sua visione del linguaggio – come reinventare l’estetica e la sensibilità della propaganda – ci coinvolge, grazie ai suoi commenti taglienti.

Antonio Fascicolo - Anthony FloWish | Arte Laguna PrizeAnthony 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 PrizeMartine 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.

Marco Hemmerling | Arte Laguna PrizeMarco 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.

SUSTAINABILITY AND ART

COREVE
Milan, Italy

Andrea Papi | Arte Laguna PrizeAndrea 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 PrizeSoldani
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.
