Venice -
Island of San Giorgio Maggiore – Normadic Encounters. Swiss artist, nomad and explorer Not Vital
gave a talk Normadic Encounters at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini Onlus. Marking
his presentation of the monumental installation '700 Snowballs' at Le Stanze del Vetro, until September 29, concurrently with the Art Biennale 2013, Not
Vital talked about his experiences with craftsmen from all over the globe, the relationships
that developed over decades of travel and the works of art created as a result
of these collaborations.
Normadic
Encounters. Not Vital maintains a continuing interest in engaging with
indigenous makers of countries he visits: from the Tuareg silver craftsmen of
Niger to the marble carvers of Lucca and of course, the Venetian glass
craftsmen of Murano - with whom '700 Snowballs' was created.
