Michele Pellegrino - Una parabola fotografica

July 19, 2018

/ exhibition design /

The photographic exhibition is about Michele Pellegrino's work and has the particularity of being introduced by Cesare Pavese quotes. These texts are focused on a symbolic vision of human existence, common theme in Pellegrino's work.
The graphic project focuses on this literary juxtapposition and takes visual inspiration from Italian editorial masterpieces: Bruno Munari squares (designed for Einaudi, Pavese’s publisher) and Simoncini Garamond are rearranged in a grid that seems both an editorial layout and a photographic frame.
The project highlights the thematic sections, giving visual relevance to the literary quotes that introduce the pictures.

/ art direction / exhibition identity / editorial design /

The three-year project Il cuNeo Gotico was created to claim a little known architectural supremacy in Cuneo: the presence of relevant neo-gothic and neo-medieval monuments. Artieri Fantastici is an exhibition dedicated to applied arts related to Cuneo, and with the Compagnons du Tour de France as representatives of a venerable and esoteric craftmanship tradition.

Exhibition curated by Enzo Biffi Gentili (MIAAO, Torino) and sponsored by Fondazione CRC.

Medieval gargoyles and a deep blue for Artieri fantastici, with its collection of artifacts, artistic objects and illustrations, with the manufacture as common theme.

The three exhibit sections (Hommage au Compagnonnage, Sette cappelle per sette sorelle and Quattro fantastici artieri del tratto) have been designed so to be easily recognized, thanks to colours and backgrounds used in the graphic panels.

Exhibition graphic system designed in collaboration with Francesca Infantino.
