Fondazione Sozzani presents Objet Trouvè. The project is the first solo exhibition of Sebastian A. de Ruffray, Chilean artist whose works unfolds around the notion of upcycling. Used garments are repurposed into an array of objects and installations borrowing their forms from different artistic landscapes. Sewn together and stretched on wooden frames, they become monochrome conceptual paintings; stitched and assembled on metallic structures, they turn into iconic pieces of design furniture. Hung on an excessively long steel rack, they become the upcycled canvases of raw, overly baroque, almost melting, embroideries.
Opening Party
Monday February 12th from 5:30PM to 9:30PM
by invitation
On show
February 2024, from Tuesday 13th to Saturday 24th, from 11:00AM to 7:00PM
Finissage
Saturday February 24th from 6:00PM to 9:30PM
