FDVLAB – FABBRICA DEL VAPORE LABS ASSOCIATION, IN COLLABORATION WITH OTTAGONO AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF MILAN HAS DEVOTED ITS FUORI SALONE TO ISSUES LIKE SUSTAINABILITY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND URBAN GREEN.
GIOVANNI LEVANTI curated by Beppe Finessi
Careof DOCVA Viafarini Documentation Center for Visual Arts
On the occasion of Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2010, Careof and Viafarini organizations for contemporary art are pleased to present Giovanni Levanti’s solo show, curated by Beppe Finessi, one year after the 2009 edition that presented the body of works of Paolo Ulian.
Several exhibitions in Italy and abroad have documented the collaboration with companies such as Campeggi, Cassina, Diamantini & Domeniconi, Domodinamica, Edra, Foscarini, Pallucco, Salviati, Twergi-Alessi, Serafino Zani.
Levanti's main purpose is not to astonish at all costs, but rather to follow an unexplored path through an ethical, patient and meticulous research, that is characterized by the multy functionality of objects. His creations are fantastic, polymorphic, varied and characterized by a multiplicity of functions, as well as by a refined and playful aesthetics. We refer for instance to the carpet-armchairs and rocking-horse armchairs.
Through the ultimate abolition of the formal obviousness, Levanti gives a new intended use to the objects, by extending their use beyond the main one.
Giovanni Levanti leads a silent battle against the traditional padded furniture. Focusing on the posture of individuals, he designs sofas and chairs that envelop the body, supporting it without compulsion.
According to Levanti the project must be sustainable and has also to avoid any aggression or redundancy; the process that leads to the definition of the project must start from a close relationship with the user, translating the informations and the experiences into their cultural connotations.
CAREOF and VIAFARINI are two of the labs associated with La Fabbrica del Vapore; they are founder members of the Cultural FDVLAB Association.
Since the beginning of the ’90 Careof and Viafarini, nonprofit contemporary art spaces, produce and present exhibitions, events and video-screenings; they organize a program of didactic activities, with workshops and conferences; they run DOCVA Documentation Center for Visual Arts that comprises the Portfolio Archive, the Video Archive, the specialized Library and the database ArtBox.
