手，头和心脏：在同性恋卓越的卓越之兴2022

Step by step, marvel after marvel: in the impressive ancient spaces of Fondazione Cini, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, the merciless, prosaic reality of the world seems to be calmed for a moment, giving way to the living enchantment of beauty. Homo Faber is a highly varied, imaginative event organised by the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship to celebrate talents of international and, above all, contemporary handcrafting. Now in its second edition (long-awaited after being repeatedly postponed due to Covid), Homo Faber 2022 focuses on ‘The Living Treasures of Europe and Japan’ and compares Japanese and European handcrafting culture on multiple levels. The fifteen exhibitions making up the event, located in various different parts of Fondazione Cini, all focus on different abilities and materials, from glass to paper, from porcelain to metal, and from fabric to fine mechanics built entirely by hand. The exhibition curators, coordinated by general curator Alberto Cavalli, form an outstanding and highly varied team from all over the world, including Naoto Fukasawa, Stefano Boeri, Judith Clarck, Michele De Lucchi, Bob Wilson, and Sebastian Herkner, to mention only a few.

许多展览在前本笃会修道院举办了与美丽山的空间建立了对话;例如，瓷器性能，例如，在龙汉图书馆，一个长长的大厅，在墙壁上施加巴洛克式核桃橱柜和大型钻石形的大理石板块。展览会策划了DavidCaméo和FrédéricBordet，展览会汇集了创新的瓷器创作，并重新诠释了所拥有物质的古代技术。展览用Bernardaud的Bernardaud兄弟们打开了两个板栗木橱柜，覆盖着瓷砖：第一个，Flora Brasilis，是粉红色和苍白的蓝色，有机设计，而第二个，动物群巴塞斯，特点是定期循环主题金色和黑色。

This is followed by the creations of artists and ceramists reinterpreting the sensual preciousness of porcelain, produced in collaboration with major European manufacturers, arranged on tables as in a橱柜decuriiteés。The eye is drawn to magnetic creations such as Ruth Gurvich’s delicate Lightscape Collection for the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory, composed of bowls, vases and jars with gently imperfect lines, or The Ultimate Metamorphosis of Thetis, a breath-taking sculpture made especially for the exhibition by French ceramist and sculptor Grégoire Scalabre: a big inclined crucible covered with 60,000 tiny porcelain vases, all hand-lathed by the artist and glazed in a colour chosen from the colour palette of the Sèvres manufactory, like an underwater swarm captured in motion in the waters of the lagoon.

Palladio’s Sala del Cenacolo is transformed into an almost sacred enclosure with an installation exhibiting the work of twelve living treasures (a term used to refer to great master craftspeople in Japan), entitled 12 Stone Garden and curated by Naoto Fukasawa AND Tokugo Uchida. In big bowls of porcelain or glazed terracotta, lacquered wooden dishes, silver vessels, woven bamboo baskets or precious kimono fabrics, we recognise the same minimalist, almost silent touch, concentrated entirely on the perfection of the details rather than the effect of colours and shapes.

据Naoto Fukasawa称：“设计师和艺术家分享了同样的心态和同样的目标：精神是相同的。但这种方法是不同的，尽管他们经常一起工作。必须保护工匠，因为他们带来了独特的知识，可以与他们一起消失。他们的作品是质量的凝聚力。“听着他，我认为如果在意大利的康复生活宝藏，那么这将是惊人的。不幸的是，这不是这种情况，至少还没有;但是Homo Faber向我们展示了我们的方式！
