Art for Nature
Officinadïdue
Vera Bonaventura & Roberto Mainardi
- Aböut -
Officinadïdue is a project by Vera Bonaventura and Roberto Mainardi.
OD2 modus operandi draws inspiration from the natural world and at the same time gives it a new (aest-) ethic and attention supported by the languages of Land Art, Arte Povera and Minimalism reinterpreted throu the light of new environmental scenarios.
We work with commettes who want to develop artistic projects related to environment, climate, ecology, social issues.
Our language uses installs, sound-art, video-art, painting, sculpture, photography.
"Working with biology, observing natural life and the botanical aspects of species, often bring to unexpected answers and new compositional criterias. Nature is a very creative assistant. Everything is out there: we just need to sit and contemplate it. "
