Vedovamazzei Studio Visit: Video Interview with the Artists

Artribune visited the studio of Vedovamazzei, the artistic duo composed of Stella Scala and Simeone Crispino, among Italy's most important contemporary artists. In a video interview, they discuss the origins of their creative partnership and illustrate their work. The artists are highly eclectic, employing diverse media including painting, sculpture, and installation. Their research revisits the past and history, reinterpreting them from different, often disconcerting, dramatic, or ironic perspectives. Vedovamazzei are keen observers of society, focusing on the unsavory aspects and misplaced elements, questioning art, techniques, and iconographic models by contaminating them with ordinary reality and improbable elements. The interview is part of the 'Art one shot' series on YouTube. The article also promotes Artribune's newsletters: 'Incanti' on the art market, 'Render' on urban regeneration, and 'PAX' on cultural tourism. The text is by Alberto Mattia Martini, an art critic and curator who has organized numerous exhibitions in public and private spaces and currently teaches art history and methodology.
