MATERIALMENTE #4 AL LIMITE DELLA FORMA
Livia Marin at La Triennale di Milano - 14 FEB - 4 MAR 2018
The sculptural research of Livia Marin is a complex work about the consistency of the form and its dissolution. It perfectly represents the tension that the cycle "Materialmente” wants to express, conceived as a path that connect handicraft to art. The Chilean artist plays to conceptually dissolve the image of mass-produced artifacts born, almost two centuries ago, from the encounter between the tradition of Chinese porcelain with the English industrial dimension at Victorian time.
Born in Chile in 1973, Livia Marin has moved to London from years, and today is a significant figure on the international scene, of that politically engaged art that does not give up on a more formal and playful dimension.
