Today, Saturday 9th of November 2013, is the opening day of the "<a href="http://www.museepapierpeint.ch/fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=72" target="_blank">Mur-Murs - tête-à-tête passé/présent</a>" exhibition, at <a href="http://www.museepapierpeint.ch/fr/" target="_blank">Musée du papier peint</a> in Mézières (Fribourg, Switzerland).<br />
The new temporary exhibition is taking place in all the rooms of the wonderful château de Mézières.<br />
All the artists involved have been asked to build a dialogue between tradition and modernity and to think over the future evolutions of painted paper and wallpapers, so we decided to build an installation that works as a time connection between man and nature, technology and life.<br />
<br />
We are glad to be part of this project with other 11 Swiss and international artists.<br />
<br />
The exhibition runs from 9th November 2013 to 24th May 2014.<br />
Public vernissage: Saturday 9th Nov at 5 pm.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our new "<b>Tin Can Phone Project</b>" is finally starting!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the period 21.06 to 21.07.2013, in the context of the Longlake festival of Lugano, the "sottopassaggio dei cigni" in Lugano has been transformed in a new place. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just ENTER, WATCH, GET INVOLVED, CHOOSE, INTERACT, TAKE PICTURES, SHARE, GET INVOLVED AGAIN </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The "<b>Tin Can Phone Project</b>" is a termporary interactive installation basically composed by a big surrounding blackboard and an automatic chalks vending machine. Everyone is free to interact in many different ways. It's possible to draw, to write, to decorate and to create, to answer to other people messages or just look and think. It's possible to photograph what you create or what you like and then share your picture to generate a bigger. We imagine that this project could generate a spontaneous and "real" communication and that could record the life of a place that is daily living without leaving any trace. We imagine to create a strong relation to the place, totally based and powered by the people and what people is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Visit, share, post, communicate on:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.tincanphoneproject.com/">tincanphoneproject.com</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Check the position of the underpass on <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/E0efi">the map</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This new variant of the "Funnel Project" (proposed at the competition for the tunnel Lugano-Besso) has been specifically re-designed for the "Cigni" underpass of Lugano (Riva Albertolli) and for the duration of Longlake Festival. It focuses more on the aspect of communication as interaction within the ordered chaos as a result of the differences and similarities that characterize each comparison and make it possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Passers-by will be able to participate and express themselves freely, encouraged throughout the duration of the event from targeted interventions and from the gradual layering of their own interactions within one or more temporary new "discussions". Using the webcite and social networks (such as Instagram and twitter) everyone will be able to share everything and connect outside the geographical place. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a month, 24 hours on 24, 7 days out of 7, "Tin Can Phone Project" will live independently of what it's made. </div>

Today, 6th of may 2013, is the opening day of <b>the "271 Meters" exhibition in Copenhagen</b> (Denmark) organized by <a href="http://artrebels.com/blog/" target="_blank">ArtRebels</a>. This exhibition is a selection of 12 projects (on 140) presented for the "<b>Ørestad Street Art Competition</b>", that intended to paint a 271 meters long wall (the winner is Hyuro, that will realize the painting in may).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are happy to be <b>in the 12 selected artists</b> and also honored that a part of <b>our project has been used for the graphics</b> related to the exhibition (as you can see in the flyer above).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 12 projects are presented in the exhibition that started today at 2:30 pm at the Ørestad Bibliotek (Arne Jacobsens Allé, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark).</div>

This is a painting we realized on commission in january 2013. It's an indoor painting made on <b>two different floors</b> connected by stairs. It's impossible to see it for entire without moving, because of the structure of the place, and so becomes suggestive the moment when someone walks upstairs or downstairs, perceiving <b>two different moods and two different situations</b>. Discovering step by step that the percentage of oxygen is changing, and that it ts proportionate to the volume of the notes of the song of the whales.</div>

"<b>Making triangles</b>" is the first sculpture of our recent series of works (that we use to call "<b>living-structures</b>"). It is an a<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11px; text-align: justify;">luminium sculpture of 70x70x30cm, realized in 2012.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 11px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first image appearing readable is an equilateral triangle from which, shortly after, becomes noticeable the speed control and a connection of twisted intertwined mechanisms. Approaching more appear more evident a pipes system and some elements that would suggest a living being: an eye, a mouth and two arms, but still remains a mechanism and, as such, seems to have a function and perhaps an operator. This "living structure" recalls the first creation, in a creative sense, in terms of production and construction; recalls the human potential for growth and creation. The large triangle made to generate something smaller, and it does thanks to the fluid passing through it. This fluid does not, however, come from the outside, but by the same mechanism, it is the lifeblood that flows in the pipes. The reality is self-powered, the man shape itself. It should be added that the equilateral triangle, moreover, is harmony and proportion, and in a sense we have an harmonic system as such and in its parts, with the ability to create. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It 'a long time that we do not publish something new here on our blog, and fortunately this is due to the fact that we are working and we have not much free time. However, we are preparing so much material and so many projects that we will realize soon. :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The painting you see in the big picture above is named "<b>Undercontrol"</b>, we realized it in august 2012 in a pedestrian underpass in Monte Carasso (CH), under the highway, in the context of a project proposed by the <a href="http://urbanova.ch/" target="_blank">Urbanova</a> association.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the same project were involved also <a href="http://www.bigtato.ch/" target="_blank">BigTato</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/plus-power/" target="_blank">PlusPower</a>, Panho, Zeta, Rysk and Irons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About this painting and its concept we can say that: Everyone moves, since he was born, on roads, means, thoughts and planets that feels as if they had always been here as they are now and as if they always belonged to him.</div>

The 20th Blue Balls Festival took place from 20 to 28 july 2012 at the <b>KKL Lucerne</b>, the Pavilion and the Schweizerhof Hotel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Our turn arrived friday <b>27th of july</b>, on a stage in the KKL plaza, and we had to realize a painting on a 1,90 x 1,90 meters canvas during <b>90 minutes of time</b>. We used acrylic paint and spray cans and we realized "<b>The Experienced Traveller</b>", now property of the Blue Balls organization.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We recently completed our latest painting: "<b>Magenta - The never-ending game between the Astronaut and the Plastiline Rabbit</b>", a
240 square meters outdoor painting realized at the elementary schools of Bozzoreda, Lugano (CH), on request of the DSU of Lugano (the public services department of Lugano). </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is mainly realized with spray cans paint, with some part in acrylic paint markers and lacks. It is composed by two big walls, one perpendicular to the other, and it shows an <b>evolving scenery</b>, a story (or more) that's taking life. The basis of this painting are the idea of creating, of creativity,
imagination, thought, discovery and memories; of the great abilities and
possibilities from which we naturally can tap into at any age.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
...You can hear strange noises coming from behind the little door: the rustle of paper is mixed with the roar of a fully active engine, a slight fluttering of wings seems to accompany the notes of a guitar, while something is moving in the water and seems to enjoy. The small key can reveal everything and involve the visitor in <b>the never-ending game between the astronaut and the plastiline rabbit</b>. </div>

"<b>The Funnel</b>" is the project that we proposed to <a href="http://www.arteurbana.ch/" target="_blank">Arte Urbana Lugano</a>, in the national competition for the temporary renewal of the Lugano-Besso (CH) pedestrian tunnel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A<b> 80 feet long blackboard</b> that runs through the tunnel, on one hand, a white wall with benches to observe, on the other one; <b>colored chalks in an automatic-vending machine</b>, the four cardinal points written with neon lights; messages which are randomly generated by a computer. This is "The Funnel", where the constant flow of travelers and passers-by brings messages, information, ideas and suggestions.<br />
The idea behind this project is very simple: give to people, who go through the tunnel that connects Besso to Lugano or that come from the railway station, a tool to express themselves and a place to leave their own messages. But the developments are full of potential. Who has never written a sentence of love, an insult, a thought on the blackboard at school? Who has never dreamed of doing it using all the available colors?<br />
A dream comes true to the nth power, with a 80 meters long blackboard placed on the south wall of the tunnel. Divided into <b>four colors regions</b> representing the four cardinal points that meet up int the tunnel, the blackboard will turn it into "Funnel," a funnel of information, news, messages, thoughts that come from the four corners of the world and from the two poles of the city : the Besso quarter and Lugano. Mixing visions and travels in a single, large collective fresco.<br />
<br />
To participate in this work, the distracted traveler or the rushing passer-by, will have at the disposal colored chalks, which can be found in an automatic-vending machine located at the junction of the North / South and East / West flows, at the underpass that leads to the train tracks. Each color is linked to one of the four cardinal points, and thus, perhaps, influence the choice of the message to leave and in which part of the long blackboard leave it.<br />
To inspire the passer-traveler-writer will be distributed, along with chalks, a phrase printed on a ticket. Dark, disturbing, maybe funny: it is <b>randomly generated</b> by a computer and, perhaps because it's random, it speaks us about our fate... or maybe not. After leaving his mark on the large blackboard, the traveler-passer will recover from his labors by sitting in front of the long black wall, on a simple bench at the foot of a luminous white and just as long wall (the north part). To view, read and think.<br />
"The Funnel" is this: a place where<b> the flow</b> of information, thoughts, desires, stops for a moment, on a long blackboard placed at the intersection of different worlds. In Lugano. A simple idea, full of potential developments: into "the Funnel" you can organize events, lectures, happenings, drawing contests, reading evenings of the messages that stranded on the blackboard. But "The Funnel" will become ath first something <b>alive</b>, a landing place for the flow, one that binds and unites the whole, an organism with a life of its own made of urban legends, love stories and oblique messages written in chalk.<br />
<br />
We planned to use about 80% of the maximum budget allowed for this project (CHF 100'000. -): 50% for the realization and 30% to <b>support events and activities</b> within it.<br />
<br />
The competition was won by Sophie Maffioli and Paola Tallarico, with the project "(S)Guarda Lugano", and it will be realized in june 2012 for <a href="http://www.arteurbana.ch/" target="_blank">Arte Urbana Lugano</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<b>Highlighting invasion</b>" is a mixed media planar living-structure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The basic concept of the work is the relationship between man and
nature, between mankind and its nature. The bio-mecha structure is at
the same time a symbol of scientific and creative potential, and
personification modern life chaos, confusing excess of information and
new media increasingly becoming part of our existence. The two sides of
the coin.
The flow of color, which originates from the "Space Invader" into the
big brain, makes everything readable and unified in its parts. It's life
and creativity, coming from everyone, from the streets, revealing new
ways and new systems and showing that problem and solution are strictly
connected in our decisions.
<br />
<br />
Of this living-structure we created also a smaller version, with reduced
proportions and scale of values, named "Highlighting Invasion: Life
Space Invasion".

<a href="http://www.nevercrew.com/index.php?cat=art_toys&group=ours&id=sluggypsuperfrosted" target="_blank">Sluggy P Superfrosted</a> is the hairy version of <b>Sluggy P</b> (our latest 4 inches designer toy), evolved for situations of considerable frost and frosting (outdoor or in the kitchen). As the "regular" Sluggy P, the <b>Superfrosted</b> lives in the cities and look at us from the top of the buildings; but he's more relaxed and also likes to visit mountains and nature, or to walk right on the streets. His new hairy
surface gives him the necessary protection from low temperatures
and bad weather (also between persons), and also more adherence on his
head to grab everything he needs. Needless to say, thanks to his white hairy-look he's frequently confused with a Yeti, but he's more common and not aggressive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the first series, we will produce 50 pieces with <b>white hair and pink donut</b> and 50 pieces with <b>white hair and blue donut</b>, both numbered and signed and buyable on <a href="http://www.nevercrew.com/store/" target="_blank">our store</a>. </div>

"<a href="http://www.nevercrew.com/index.php?cat=art_toys&group=ours&id=sluggyp" target="_blank"><b>Sluggy P</b></a>" is a character that we created for the upcoming movie "<b><a href="http://www.tuttigiu-film.ch/en/index.html" target="_blank">Tutti Giù</a></b>" by <a href="http://www.niccolocastelli.ch/2009/news.html" target="_blank">Niccolò Castelli</a> (<a href="http://www2.imagofilm.ch/template/index.php?id=1&lang=IT" target="_blank">ImagoFilm</a>), for wich we worked as art directors, that's going to be released in 2012.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sluggy-P is a pigeon like any other one, but probably not so easy going.
He doesn't like the chaotic life of the metropolis, also if he likes to
live there. He desires a better life for everyone (and for himself, of
course) with all the modern comforts and technologies, but without the
excess and disorder of bad informations and without pollution. He loves
colors, creativity and diversity, but can't stand confusion and
intolerance.
This stressful situation makes him very hungry and a bit depressed, and
he takes comfort from the sweetness of donuts, like an edible colored
lifebelt. </div>

In april 2011 we were invited by a crew of UK based journalists
(<b>Redwood</b> <b>Group</b>), from the Volvo's <b>LIV magazine</b>, to partecipate in theyr
"<b>European Art Movement</b>" project. The basic idea was a trip trough Europe
on their Volvo XC60 with three stops, one for every selected artist.
The stops were Bornholm in Denmark (Anne Sofie Meldgaard), Leipzig in
Germany (Metulczki) and Lugano in Switzerland (us).
We had to choose a place to realize a work and we decided to do that on
the top of the "Balestra" Carpark in the center of Lugano. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The work we
realized represents a kind of <b>exploration</b>: the astronaut is a person who
visits places that few humans can see, looking at things with wonder
and, of course, for the first time; he discover them. The car instead
explores the inside, lives the place in detail; it knows it and it's
part of it.
The article and the interview are published on <b>issue n°2 - 2011 of LIV
magazine</b> and also <b>as video documentary</b> on Volvo's website. </div>

It's out now on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/album/goodbye-donuts-hey-statue/id473041656" target="_blank">iTunes Store</a>, the latest album of the japanese band<b> Icon Girl Pistols</b>, for which we made the cover art and we created a new band logo: "<b>Goodbye Donuts (Hey, statue of Liberty)</b>".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We were contacted by the Icon Girl Pistols after using one
of their songs for our <a href="http://www.nevercrew.com/index.php?cat=video&group=ours&id=inspiratione" target="_blank">art-video "Lack of ispiratione</a>" (made with Andrea Todaro). They gave us 100% of freedom and we created something that in our minds could fit with
their music. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The big mechanical creature spread with pink paint a
heap-dump-city district floating on the water; he's probably dancing and
making a lot of noise while a new life arrives everywhere around him.

Our new t-shirt design is <a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/374221/The_Last_Tea" target="_blank">now on Threadless</a>, and for the next 7 days it will be there <b>to be voted</b>, shared and commented. If it will reach enough votes and if the Threadless team will like it, our design will be printed as t-shirt and sold from Threadless (and we will win a prize too!).<br />
<br />
"<b>The Last Tea</b>" is a vintage, black-humorous, elegant and sweet-flavoured design. Printed in 2 colors (on many possible t-shirt background colors), it will immediately refresh you and the atmosphere around you (or it will probably cool it… :-P).<br />
<br />
Look at it <a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/374221/The_Last_Tea" target="_blank">HERE</a> and if you like it, please vote it, share it, comment it, and check the "as Tee" box on the top right. :-) Thank you so much!!<br />

</a></div>The "<b>Unlucky Munnies</b>" is our new series of 4" munny customs (Kidrobot). Two of them were already part of the first projects for the Munnyworld Megacontest 2011, but due to time constraints we decided to make only the "<b>Vampirized</b>". Given its success (awarded "Best Minimalist Design"), we decided to make the remaining two and expand the series with other new ideas.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
So the series "<b>Unlucky Munnies. In the wrong place, at the wrong time</b>" is mainly made on 6 Munnies (Kidrobot) and then accompanied by other characters of the same group (Trikky, Bub, Foomi).<br />
These unfortunate DIY toys have found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, and therefore were "Vampirized", "Werewolfed", "Zombified", "Facehugged", "Assimilated" and choose the "Dark Side" of the Force.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The "<b>Vampirized</b>" is a twin of the winner one, maybe bitten during the night by the same vampire too.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">During this summer we had a lot of different things to do, and this is just one of them! During an event in june we were asked to create a painting on a "<b>Smart</b>" car in 2-3 hours. So now we edited a a short <b>video</b>, filmed by us and <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/todaro">Andrea Todaro</a>, which shows our performance. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">We finally made the making of video of the sculpture we realized for Costa Cruise's ship "<b>Costa Favolosa</b>", inaugurated in july 2011. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">"<b>The Daughter of the Sea</b>" is based on the theme "Ondine", the water nymph from the mythology. The sculpture, a little bit different from our usual style, was realized with different media, both for the shell and for the girl, and then casted in bronze and refined at the artistic foundry "Rimart" in Senago (MI, Italy).<br />
For the video we used pictures and videos from many different cameras, mobile phones and so on. The song is "At the Mall" by <a href="http://emeraldpark.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Emerald Park</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
