FRIDAY ART PICK
Paola Pivi
Paola Pivi, an Alaska-based Milanese born in 1971, has won international recognition for her ambitious, daring and thoughtful projects, which are often enormously complex to realize, grande in size and scope and employ a variety of media, ranging from sculpture and photography to live actions involving animals and people. Pivi's interest in the oddities in popular culture and human relationships is evident in every installation. Wow, we're tuckered out just thinking about it! If you just so happen to be in Switzerland next week, check out her new solo show at Kunstalle Basel (we'd certainly be there, but we're busy that night).
The artist's website is under construction (ah, to be a relaxed Italian! Oh wait, ours is under construction too!) but a quick Google search does the trick if you crave more information!

FRIDAY ART PICK
Paola Pivi
Paola Pivi, an Alaska-based Milanese born in 1971, has won international recognition for her ambitious, daring and thoughtful projects, which are often enormously complex to realize, grande in size and scope and employ a variety of media, ranging from sculpture and photography to live actions involving animals and people. Pivi's interest in the oddities in popular culture and human relationships is evident in every installation. Wow, we're tuckered out just thinking about it! If you just so happen to be in Switzerland next week, check out her new solo show at Kunstalle Basel (we'd certainly be there, but we're busy that night).
The artist's website is under construction (ah, to be a relaxed Italian! Oh wait, ours is under construction too!) but a quick Google search does the trick if you crave more information!
