IL PROCESSO
2010 — Carrara, ITA
Art Production — Biennale di Arte Carrara
Production of a series of steel-based artworks for artist Rossella Biscotti, presented at the Biennale di Arte Carrara. The project focused on translating graphic and textual content into material form through industrial fabrication processes.
Working closely with the artist, the pieces were developed using cold rolled steel sheets, with lettering physically embedded into the material. The process required a precise balance between industrial production techniques and the conceptual intent of the work, where text, surface, and materiality are intrinsically linked.
Production with: Kevin van Braak
Client: Rossella Biscotti
SPECIFICATIONS
Material
-
Cold rolled steel sheet
-
Selected for its uniform surface quality and suitability for precision processing
Process
-
Punching and cutting of lettering directly into steel sheets
-
Integration of typography as a structural and visual element
-
Controlled fabrication to ensure clean edges and consistent depth
Finish
-
Retention of the raw steel surface, allowing natural patination over time
Technical Considerations
-
Accuracy in letter punching and alignment
-
Managing deformation during processing to maintain flatness and readability
Application
-
Artworks exhibited at the Biennale di Arte Carrara, combining industrial material processes with conceptual art practice.
