Epilogue for Series 1
Epilogue: Series 1
Materially Speaking began with interviews from artists and artisans working near Pietrasanta in northern Italy, where generations of artists have come since Michelangelo first arrived over 500 years ago to source marble for his Pietà.
We are taking a break for the summer but we have already started recording new interviews and look forward to sharing more artists’ stories later this year. We will continue our conversations with artists who work, or have worked, around the area of Pietrasanta and will discover how the current pandemic has influenced them.
For now, we share with you some photographs of this summer’s show in Pietrasanta. The exhibition, Truly, by Fabio Viale continues until 4 October and comprises about 20 works, many of them outside in the Piazza Duomo, and others inside the church and cloister of Sant’Agostino.
Fabio Viale, Laocoonte, 2020
Fabio Viale, Torso Belvedere, 2020
As always, you can see photos that accompany our episodes over on our website materiallyspeaking.com or on Instagram.
Enjoy listening.
