Curating art, narrating reality.
A place where creativity and research meet.
Here are our projects:
Since March 21, 2023, Luogo Pazzesco has been hosting the site-specific installation Autoritratto (2022) by Matteo Messori. The artist works on a hybridization of pictorial and sculptural language, creating environmental installations in which the relationship between humans, nature, and art is explored and represented in its stages of materialization. Autoritratto fits within this practice, as painting and matter come together to define both the fragmentation and, at the same time, the unity of human identity. A series of tiles and ceramic pieces are arranged within the space, held together by a layer of blue paint that establishes a new connection between forms and materials, resulting in an organic and cohesive image.
By using discarded materials recovered from a construction site, Autoritratto expresses a spontaneous approach to space and to the very act of creation, building a relational network in which the artist’s identity interacts with reality. Messori’s research focuses on an anthropological perspective, bringing to light hidden identities belonging to an imaginary that is both personal and collective.
Matteo Messori (1993) lives and works between Milan and Reggio Emilia. After graduating in Visual Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Messori has pursued personal research centered on anthropology and the relationships between humans, art, and nature. Over the years, he has exhibited in several solo shows, including Boro, Spazio Miori Showroom, Milan (2022); Roof, Parmeggiani Gallery, Reggio Emilia (2021); Ritual Acts, Ramo Gallery, Como (2021); and Tributo, Vaku Project Space, Bergamo (2019).
