Cartasia 2016 Biennale d'Arte - Lucca, Italy
http://www.cartasia.it/

Hello this is the last Cartasia 2016, a biennial art, design and sculpture festival of the paper art. 8th edition.
The creative group "Blender" (the same as the Evil Squirrel thread) has partecipated with a new project. All the outfits created by Blender are re production of historical italian fashion masterpieces of the last fifty years, made in paper. Hand made of course.
That's a show room of the outfits, of the pics of the outfits. and a photo set with Jerry Lee Ingram photographer, who had this idea in collaboration with Hylozoic*a management. Nobody has ever done it before. Not real paper outfits. A research has been made before investing in the idea.
All the other 40 artists or group of artists partecipating to Cartasia had 4 months to prepare their projects. Blender had only 10 days to organize the set.
Enjoy the set and please support italian art.

The big show room you see is an actic of Palazzo Ducale, Lucca (Blender's location, there were other 40 artists in the palace and other squares, gardens inside the city fort walls.

Ex Cavallerizza Lab in Lucca

 

this one is surreal

 

thank you for the likes

 

Che posto magnifico, e anche la fiera deve esserlo...

 

si e' stato un bell' evento, il posto e la citta' dentro le mura sono incantevoli.
Lucca e' proprio quel che ci si aspetta da un' antica citta' toscana. Adesso sono a Grosseto, stessa impressione, mura, castelletti dentro citta', chiese, teatrini di secoli fa'... secondo me un tour Firenze Pisa Lucca Grosseto e' il massimo per conoscere questa regione. clima e cibo... tanta roba...
ok ciao

 

Io vivo in Alta Langa, e consiglio un tour anche da queste parti...

 

non la conosco ma... ti prendo in parola lol
in Italia i posti belli non mancano
