Maglione 2008
Mauro Staccioli
An 11.5 m-high tower of powder-coated sheet metal, like a crane that from afar signals work in progress, simultaneously identifying Maglione’s museum as a construction site open to art and agricultural productivity (as can be deduced from the latticework composed of colorful inserts, vegetables, and fruit). These triangles spiral upward, reaffirming the dynamism of both artistic and agricultural work, constantly evolving and transforming. Staccioli intends to connect humanity to nature, questioning the place and respectfully inhabiting it with elements appropriate to the environment; he studies the behavior of form in real space.
