Bianco-Valente's 'L'amore è nell'aria' for Dynamo Camp
The Italian artist duo Bianco-Valente created four Carrara marble sculptures for Dynamo Camp, a foundation offering free Recreational Therapy programs to children with disabilities and their families. The works, titled 'L'amore è nell'aria,' emerged from workshops held in 2022 at the camp's facility in San Marcello Pistoiese. These workshops involved parents of disabled children, aiming to channel the unexpressed energy accumulated from daily bureaucratic and societal challenges. The sculptures crystallize these energies, transforming them from human emotion into stone. The project is part of ArtsLife's 'Un’opera a settimana' series, where artists select and discuss a piece from their own production, revealing its inspiration and creative process. The duo's contribution highlights the therapeutic and collective nature of their practice, turning personal struggle into tangible art.
