luogoComune Exhibition

Posted in luogoComune, roundabout by npicola on December 30, 2010

The luogoComune Projects will be exhibiting at the Galleria Ex Pescheria, Via Pescheria, 23. Cesena (FC), Italy, from 29th December 2010 to 16th January 2011.

42 artists from Europe and America participated in the projects between 2006-2010, learning and sharing experiences through creative projects and ideas.

luogoComune#3 is focused on a collective reflection on the concept of the roundabout – on the cultural and aesthetical meaning of the town-planning scheme redefined by the appearance of roundabouts, and their radical transformation of one of the founding values of the western civility: the crossroad.

For luogoComune#3 I studied Newington Green,  a roundabout in North East London with a village green at its centre.  For more information click here.
