- Patrick Tuttofuoco
The inaugural guest artist is Patrick Tuttofuoco, who presents an expansive project that integrates the outdoor spaces with the “linea di produzione” areas. Curated by Giorgio Galotti, the exhibition, features a selection of his seminal works alongside a new neon installation titled “Shape Shifting,” conceived specifically for the surrounding landscape, endeavors to chart the artist’s evolution from the early 2000s to the present. The exhibition foregrounds works that explore the theme of time—a central motif in Tuttofuoco’s practice—reconstructed in relation to human experience and its cyclical nature. Here, arms and hands emerge as potent symbols of the landscape, populace, and territory, reflecting and amplifying the essence of Monferrato’s production, understood as the culmination of both physical and intellectual labor.
The exhibition is a project commissioned by Bosca S.p.A.
We would like to thank OPEN CARE for logistical support,

PATRICK TUTTOFUOCO was born in Milan in 1974. Lives and works in Milan. His practice is conceived as a dialogue between individuals and their ability to transform the environment they inhabit, by exploring notions of community and social integration in order to combine immediate sensorial allure with the power to trigger profound theoretical responses. Tuttofuoco in his practice presses figuration into abstraction, using man as the paradigm of existence, as the matrix and measuring unit of reality.
From this interpretative and cognitive process, infinite versions of man and the context of his existence are produced, from which shapes able to animate the sculptures are generated
