Alessandro Anselmi - Vincenzo D'Alba duet

Alessandro Anselmi office, Rome, 06/07/2011. Vincenzo D’Alba has been invited, by A.A.M. Architettura Arte Moderna, to realize a series of “Duets/Duels. Chess games on drawing” grafically confronting himself with Architects and Artists belonging to different generations. The initiative, created by Francesco Moschini and Francesco Maggiore, consists in performing a duel between Architects and Artists involved, drawing on the same paper. Move after move, like in a duel, the result is a work constituted by complementary signs and their analogies. The aim is to induct to a reflection, almost anachronistic, on the extemporary construction of the forms and on their beauty born in design. After the first duet, between Vincenzo D’Alba and Alvaro Siza, more duels have been performed in which D’Alba duels with A. Anselmi, C. Aymonino, M. Beccu, M. Botta, G. Canella, A. Cecchetto, S. Cordeschi, A. Femia 5+1AA, D. Fo, M. Galantino, M. De Lucchi, N. Di Battista, R. Moneo, L. Ontani, A. Oreglia d’Isola, A. Ortiz, P. Portoghesi, F. Purini, F. Raimondo, R. Rizzi, L. Semerani, B. Servino, A. Siza, E. Sordini.
