An extremely interesting experiment took place today in the design studio of Andrea Salvetti at Saltocchio just outside Lucca.
There was very little publicity before the event but through word of mouth and wide spread contacts through out the area more than 500 people managed to get themselves onto the guest list before the event and gain entrance today to the sprawling design studios after passing some strict controls at the door.

Presentano
Incontri ravvicinati tra artisti, designer e cuochi nella studio-fucina di Andrea Salvetti. (his site is here)
Andrea Salvetti was born near Lucca on the 17th August 1967. He works in his sculpture and design studio at Saltocchio, just outside Lucca which opened in 1991, using a host of different materials and technologies, paying particular attention to fusion metals. Andrea not only designs but plays an active role in the creation of his artwork in his studio, believing in the testimony of his own work. His interests span across different themes and disciplines, from sculpture, design, architecture, performance and cookery. This eclecticism moves descriptions of Andrea’s work beyond straightforward definitions to a broader illustration of interconnected styles and disciplines. In the last few years, Andrea has produced a number of works in collaboration with art and design galleries both in Italy and abroad, such as Albero, Apparita, Mazzolin di fiori, with Dilmos, Nilufar and Moss. His pieces have been exhibited throughout the world in a variety of venues and contexts and have featured in numerous publications across a whole range of subjects. Electa published the “Terra Terra” monograph in 2007. He took part in the 48th Biennale d’arte di Venezia, exhibited works at the Focke Museum in Bremen and has held both solo and collective exhibitions and installations at Design Miami, Basle; PAD, Paris; Arte e fiera; ArtCurial and Sotheby’s.
Un live performance di un’intera giornata di creativita e sperimentazione, in cui l’arte diventa un momenta fruibile e godibile; il design diventa uno strumento al servizio del cibo;il cibo, da plasmare, da consumare, da condividere, diventa arte per il palato.
Una grande festa in cui nessuno e protagonista ma tutti si mettono in gioco, sperimentando e accettando anche gli errori.
Un banco di prova, un Live cooking performance Art, nato dalla volonta di scoprire nuove strade, distante dai percorsi istituzionali e dai discorsi estetici e decorativi su arte e cibo.
