A TRIBUTE TO THE LONG-TERM COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO ENTREPRENEURIAL REALITIES WITH AFFINITIES OF GEOGRAPHY AND VISION. THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN
VISIONNAIRE AND ANDREA ANASTASIO, CURATOR AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF BOTTEGA D’ARTE CERAMICA GATTI, HAS LED TO “SEDIMENTO,” PAYING HOMAGE TO
THE EXTRAORDINARY LEGACY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP FOUND IN THE ITALIAN TERRITORY, COMBINED WITH CREATIVITY AND REFLECTION WITH A CONTEMPORARY
VIEWPOINT. HISTORY, IN ITS SUCCESSION OF DATES AND EVENTS, IS A PARADE OF FORMS, CONTAINERS AND VASES THAT BEAR WITNESS TO THE PASSAGE OF FASHIONS,
CUSTOMS AND ACTIVITIES. THE ART OF CERAMICS IS A REPOSITORY OF THIS GIGANTIC ARCHIVE, AND THE WORKS CONTAINED IN “SEDIMENTO” ALLUDE TO THIS
HERITAGE, DELVING INTO ITS DEPTHS TO DISCOVER COMPOSITIONS AND NEW FORMS.
SINCE 2008, INSIDE THE MILAN FLAGSHIP STORE, THEY COEXIST IN A MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACE, A FURNITURE SHOWROOM, A BISTRO, A DESIGN GALLERY THAT WE CALL
WUNDERKAMMER. A LABORATORY OF IDEAS AS WELL AS AN EXHIBITION SPACE, CONCEIVED AS A PLACE OF THE WONDERFUL AND THE UNEXPECTED.
“OURS IS A CURATORIAL RESEARCH: WE PRESENT COLLECTIVE OR PERSONAL WORKS. KNOWING MANY ARTISTS ALSO ALLOWS US TO INSERT THEIR WORKS INTO
PARTICULAR PROJECTS, DEPENDING ON THE NEEDS OF THE MOMENT. WE HAVE ARTISTS WITH WHOM WE CULTIVATE RELATIONSHIPS IN EXCLUSIVE AND WITH WHICH
EVERY YEAR WE WORK ON A PROPOSAL THAT LIVES AND DEVELOPS ALONG WITH THE COLLECTION OF FURNITURE. WE COLLABORATE CONTINUOUSLY WITH ABOUT
THIRTY ARTISTS AND WE HAVE ALWAYS PUT IN DIALOGUE MORE WELL-KNOWN PERSONALITIES WITH OTHERS LESS KNOWN, BUT NOT LESS INTERESTING” SAYS MARCO
MORANDINI, WUNDERKAMMER CURATOR.
