BlueBalls Festival 2012!

The Blue Balls Festival is a Swiss music and arts festival which every year transforms the lakeside of Lucerne for 9 days and attract more than 100,000 visitors. The Blue Balls Festival presents national and international stars, newcomers and young talents during 120 events of music, art, video, film and talk. The 20th Blue Balls Festival took place from 20 to 28  july 2012 at the KKL Lucerne, the Pavilion and the Schweizerhof Hotel.

Our turn arrived friday 27th of july, on a stage in the KKL plaza, and we had to realize a painting on a 1,90 x 1,90 meters canvas during 90 minutes of time. We used acrylic paint and spray cans and we realized "The Experienced Traveller", now property of the Blue Balls organization.

Magenta!

We recently completed our latest painting: "Magenta - The never-ending game between the Astronaut and the Plastiline Rabbit", 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). 

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 evolving scenery, 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.

...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 the never-ending game between the astronaut and the plastiline rabbit.

Live and Explore!

In april 2011 we were invited by a crew of UK based journalists (Redwood Group), from the Volvo's LIV magazine, to partecipate in theyr "European Art Movement" 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. 

The work we realized represents a kind of exploration: 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 issue n°2 - 2011 of LIV magazine and also as video documentary on Volvo's website.
