Il Labirinto di Arnaldo Pomodoro

Immerse yourself in the artist's environmental artwork

Entering Arnaldo Pomodoro's Labyrinth we will immerse ourselves in a timeless work that evokes past worlds and disappeared civilizations and where the biographical and artistic stages of the sculptor re-emerge through an experience in which introspection and art go hand in hand. A journey into the artist's imagination, between reworkings of already known sculptures and forms still in progress.

In Fonderia

Enter the De Andreis Artistic Foundry where bronze sculptures by Arnaldo Pomodoro and many other artists come to life!

Lost wax casting is a technique with ancient roots; born in the Bronze Age, it reached its peak in the sixteenth century, as it was described by Benvenuto Cellini in the "Treatise on Sculpture". Like many other contemporary sculptors, Arnaldo Pomodoro still follows this procedure to create his works. We'll enter the Fonderia artistica De Andreis to understand what happens when bronze sculptures come to life.

La Milano di Pomodoro

A walk in and out of the downtown museums that house Pomodoro's works!

2 hours visit: 1 kilometer walk – 4 stops – 3 museums – 6 sculptures by Arnaldo Pomodoro and many other artists, collections and collectors. Following the path of Arnaldo Pomodoro's works present in Milan means being able to partly reconstruct a piece of the city's recent history. Supported by material selected from the Pomodoro archive (correspondence, catalogues, photos...) we will delve into the climate of Milanese art in the second half of the 20th century to understand the relationships between the artists and the connections between their works through the point of view of an exceptional protagonist, Arnaldo Pomodoro.

Where: Departure from Piazza Meda in front of the sculpture Grande Disco
Duration: 2 hours
Cost: For groups of up to 20 people: €350, including museum admissions, excluding audio equipment (€2 per person).

Il Foglio Come Scultura

Make a small run of signed and numbered dry prints!

We explore the technique of relief printing. We prepare a matrix by creating a composition of geometric shapes, inspired by a close look at the artworks present in the studio. The work is carried out using the dry embossing technique, without the use of inks, in order to impress raised forms into the paper. We dampen the printing paper, prepare a matrix, and create an intricate and complex composition. We then set up the registration and finally use the printing press to produce a small edition of our fine art print.

Purpose: introduction to art graphics, concept of print repeatability, reflection on the potential of paper as a sculpture material
Materials: paper and cardboard
Medium: Printing on a press
Method: each participant has their own workstation, creates their own matrix and, accompanied by the operator, prints their own graphics
Duration: 90 minutes
Language: Italian. On request: English
Where: Studio Arnaldo Pomodoro, via vigevano 3 (buzzer 61) / inner courtyard, Milan

Sculture in Scena

Let's explore how signs occupy space!

Let’s build a device capable of placing Pomodoro’s marks in a three-dimensional space and explore how sculptures interact with the places where they are set.

Purpose: indagare il rapporto tra segno e spazio e lavorare sulla composizione di elementi su più livelli
Materials: cartoncini, fogli, matite, pennarelli, pastelli, tempere
Method: ogni partecipante ha la su postazione di lavoro e realizza il proprio manufatto
Duration: 120 minuti
Lingua: italiano. Su richiesta: inglese

La Colata di Gesso

Make a plaster cast in Arnaldo Pomodoro's studio!

We enter Arnaldo Pomodoro's studio to experiment with the artist's distinctive 'negative' technique used to create his sculptures. We prepare a clay slab where we imprint abstract marks with various tools and instruments to bring a complex composition to life. We mix water and plaster, then pour the mixture into our clay mold. While waiting for the plaster to dry, we explore the characteristics of the materials used. Finally, we remove our plaster bas-relief from the mold.

Purpose: indagare e comprendere il concetto di positivo/negativo e pieno/vuoto
Materials: argilla, gesso, strumenti vari
Method: ogni partecipante ha la sua postazione di lavoro e realizza il proprio calco in gesso
Duration: 90 minutes

Un Sedicesimo

Let's build a hand-bound notebook with a needle and thread

We create a booklet, which is technically called "Sedicesimo" and consists of a series of assembled sheets and an elaborate cover. We bind and finally illustrate with stamps, matrices and other supports made available, taking inspiration from the works present in the studios.

Workshop by the art collective LIBRI FINTI CLANDESTINI
