The web section “Installations” has been updated adding the art work Il seme / The seed by the Japanese artist Kyoji Nagatani.
It is a monument designed and modeled by the Japanese artist in 2012. Lino Reduzzi was proud to give his technical partnership during both the desing and execution phases and he also gilded a part of the internal surface with 24 karats genuine gold leafs.
This work is located within a rectangular stretch of water at the Scuola Edile in Seriate (Italy). It is equipped with an electrical mechanism that permits its automatic opening and closing movements. The making of this sculpture was made possible thanks to the partnership between Nagatani and Italcementi, leading company in the field of building materials, that designed a specific mix of white concrete TX Active® in order to satisfy all the artist’s requirements.
