Curiosity is my philosophy
LFTDV - La Fabrika De Toda La Vida
During my spanish experience, I took part to The VIII meeting about Collective Architecture, held in an old cement factory in Estremadura, reactivated for a young artists's collective. The previous six days, we've been preparing installations to host the meeting (bar, shadow area, toilets, kitchen, services..). The next three days reunion has been used to create network and to keep proposing ways tomake these practices possible and sustainable.
981, DEAN ST. Brooklyn New York
My first job location was an old industry redesigned by Kellam Clark to become a house and atelier for artists and designers: in the industrial side of Brooklyn, the space is divided in 8 sleeping rooms, a shared kitchen, a metal and wood workshop and a big yard full with materials to be reused and trailers for the hospitality. A very international and creative hub.
An old industry redesigned to be an artistic and handcraft workshop.
A new way of painting, using a gun charged with a compressor and filled up with a potato first and paint then.
A yard full with materials to be reused in different design/art projects.
An open air accommodation for visitors
Spazio Culturale - spazio alle tue idee
After having looked for a space where to express my creativity and realize my projects, I found Spazio Lambrate: an ex gym owned by an artist who wanted to redesign the space into a cultural place. Together with the spanish artist Pilar Soto, I cooperated for the space reactivation and promotion: creation and preparation of exhibitions, event organization, web-marketing, public relations, contents conception. The last project Pilar and I woked on in this space, has been a crowdfunding campaign on Ulule platform: http://it.ulule.com/spaziolambrate-spazio/

Big Spaces
After few months, I've received a job offer in the empty spaces field, which need to be filled with contents. But in this occasion the location are not abandoned spaces, they're instead brand new buildings and skyscrapers in Garibaldi/Varesine area. I worked here as location manager assistant: in this business oriented start-up, I've been working on the production of temporary events, meetings, product launch.
BigSpaces, a start-up with solid bases, driven by Andrea Baccuini, reads over excellent locations and transforms them into contents amplifiers based on company's or private's needs.
