Matteo Vettorello: Process, Relationality, and the Limits of Sculpture
Born in Venice in 1986, Matteo Vettorello divides his time between Venice and Milan. He pursued visual arts at Università Iuav and Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, later delving into sculpture. Vettorello established ALTOlab and was a co-founder of LATOfragile. In a conversation with Davide Dal Sasso, he highlights the significance of process, failure, and relationality in his work. His latest solo exhibition, "Pressione simpatica," at Edicola Radetzky in Milan, curated by Irene Sofia Comi, examines the limits of museum objects and accessibility through interactive elements. Vettorello characterizes his work as "extra-aesthetic," focusing on context and ecological issues, while his practice revolves around "measurement," exploring human connections and suggesting alternative social pathways.
