Italiano di origine, Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) fu scultore, pittore e ceramista, nonché padre fondatore dello spazialismo, un movimento di arte moderna appartenente alla metà del secolo scorso che accostava la sperimentazione artistica con i principi e le teorie scientifiche. Dopo i primi passi a Milano, FontaOn the occasion of the 60th edition of La Biennale di Venezia, Are We The Aliens, is an immersive exhibition where diverse artistic mediums converge, fusing large-scale site-specific sculptures by the Belgian contemporary artist Arne Quinze saturated within an ethereal acoustic environment and soundscapes by the American music producer Swizz Beatz. It also presents for the first time Quinze's large-scale sculptures in glass and ceramic made in collaboration with master craftsmen Berengo Studio and Atelier Vierkant. The book features Quinze's new works including the installation Sonic Levitation (an aluminum sculpture forming a circle, a symbol of perfect harmony), the Impact Glass installation (with pieces handcrafted by internationally renowned glass manufacturer Berengo Studio in Murano), the video piece SIX Testimonials (contemplating humanity's state of alienation), Ceramorphia (a group of large-scale site-specific ceramic sculptures in collaboration with the Belgian studio Atelier Vierkant), the horizontal bronze sculpture Bronze mirroring nature's cycles and the divine harmony and the painting Murchison Garden that symbolizes not only the genesis of humanity but also the demise of the paradisiacal world that preceded our existence.
