Bertozzi and Calvari Discuss Earth, Art, and Volcanoes on Artribune Podcast

In the Artribune Podcast series 'Contemporaneamente,' curated by Mariantonietta Firmani, artist Giampaolo Bertozzi (of Bertozzi&Casoni) and volcanologist Sonia Calvari engage in a multidisciplinary dialogue about earth. Bertozzi discusses how ceramics transform earth into art, exploring themes of peace, chance, and fortune in artistic creation. Calvari explains volcanic processes, noting magma can travel three kilometers vertically in one minute. The conversation touches on technique as a foundation for identity expression, technology's role in problem-solving, and the increasing complexity of data. Bertozzi&Casoni, founded in 1980 in Imola, are known for painted ceramics inspired by vanitas, with works at Tate Liverpool, Sperone Westwater New York, Venice Biennale, and Quadriennale Roma. Their museum opened in 2017 at Cavallerizza Ducale di Sassuolo. Calvari is a research director at INGV, Osservatorio Etneo in Catania, with a PhD from Lancaster University. She has contributed to National Geographic, Discovery Channel, CNN, BBC, and is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research.
