Scuola di Palazzo Te – Lino Reduzzi invited as a guest to the course “Fare Arte 2019”, from 25th June to 03rd July 2019 at Palazzo Te, Mantua

Among the projects supported by Fondazione Palazzo Te in Mantua (Italy), again this year Scuola di Palazzo Te organizes “Fare Arte“, a 9-days residential course open to young artists and led by a group of professors composed by researchers, artists and experts in different artistic and scientific disciplines.
This course aims to increase project management skills in the context of cultural production, focusing on the artistic experience as a practice of trainable faculties such as attention, listening, knowledge, design and action.

“Scuola di Palazzo Te – says the Director Stefano Baia Curioni – offers the experience of a practical and fruitful relationship with the cultural heritage and tradition. A relationship that comes from contemporaneity, from poetic and artistic practices and from the awareness that the best cultural design can’t help a live relationship with memory and cultural heritage.”
From this point of view, Palazzo Te, a Renaissance masterpiece by Giulio Romano, is a place in which culture does not deposit itself passively but it becomes living and contemporary, turning into a mutlidisciplinary space for learning and experimentation, a real workshop in which creative processes can arise.

It is precisely in this context, therefore, about the past and the future, the tradition, about Italian handcraft and artisanal skills and their application in contemporary projects, that Lino Reduzzi will speak as a guest of the course, telling and showing some projects realized by Studio Reduzzi that “so perfectly describe the “modernity of ancient”, reminding us of the silent forces and powers of antiquity embodied by the new.”

The realization process changes from work to work: the colored mouth-blown glass was differently treated (etched with acid, painted with glazes, silver salts and grisaille, fired and leaded) in order to permit the most accurate realization of the original drawings. The entire series was exhibited for the very first time in the show Enrico Della Torre. Stained-glasses realized in Lino Reduzzi’s workshop, held at the Romanesque Saint Peter’s church in Teglio (Italy) from 24th July to 12th September 2010.

STUDIOREDUZZI.COM is finally online!

We proudly announce the online publication of our official website: www.studioreduzzi.com, which can also be visited from www.reduzzi.it!

We are now working in order to organize and publish the most important art works that Studio Reduzzi and Lino Reduzzi have realized in these years of intense practice, working alongside contemporary artists and architects of international renown. Our main goal is to show a comprehensive overview of our skills, supported by rich photo galleries and detailed technical sheets for each work (stained-glass windows, mosaics, decorations and installations).

The site is actually under construction because of the large amount of material to be prepared: our commitment is to periodically update the portal, adding each time new art works and unreleased material.
