"Suggello," the project proposed by Hardchitepture, presents itself as an amalgamation of pre-existing works created by the collective over the course of its activities. Hardchitepture's practice is characterized by a continuously evolving process, in which each piece undergoes constant mutations and reassemblies, embracing a concept of recycling and reuse that is also applied to contemporary art.
The collective's works have the potential to take on multiple forms of existence, evolving into new shapes and releasing new meanings in a continuous transformation. Hardchitepture seeks the ideal environment for this progressive and natural development to take place.
On the occasion of the opening on Thursday, November 7, at 6:00 pm, as part of the continuously evolving exhibition and editorial project “Cose collettive” at Platea Project (Via della Maddalena 3, Lodi), the collective Palazzo Bronzo is organizing a public roundtable titled "E BELLO DOPPO IL MORIRE VIVERE ANCHORA" ("It is beautiful after dying to live again"). Artists, curators, critics, and industry professionals will discuss the theme of endings as applied to the concept of collectives. This meeting aims to provide an open space for reflection and discussion, inviting all interested attendees to share their perspectives.
Hardchitepture is an artistic collective active since 2019, consisting of Lorenzo Conforti, Andrea Luzi, and Vittorio Zeppillo. Formed during their studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino, Hardchitepture’s exploration originates in graffiti writing and extends into diverse artistic practices, including environmental and scenographic installations made from reclaimed materials, site-specific sculptures crafted exclusively from organic materials, and collaborative experiences in theater and performance art.
The exhibition by HARDCHITEPTURE will be part of "FARE COLLETTIVO," the fourth exhibition schedule of Platea | Palazzo Galeano. Platea’s program aims to explore the phenomenon of artistic collectives, asking the invited artists about the reasons for forming collectives and the needs for cooperative spaces. Through four exhibitions, a publication, and a series of events, Platea configures itself as a place of investigation, involving the public and schools..
