Piero Gilardi

Born in Turin in 1942, he began his artistic activity in the ‘60s in the con-text of Post-Pop Art. He participated in the birth of the Arte Povera (Poor Art) Movement and in the ‘70s, was involved with the phenomena of collective and spontaneous creativity, working in various social contexts. In the ‘80s, he experimented with new technological languages and began to create a series of”virtual reality” art works. His works have been shown in major modern art museums all over the world. He has published two books: “Dall’arte alla vita, dalla vita all’arte” (“From art to life, from life to art”) (1981) and “Not for Sale” (2000). He has been working on the Park of Living Art of Turin project since 2002 and was formerly the PAV president, and currently, is a member of the Artistic Direction Committee.

NATURE CARPETS

The nature carpets were created in the post-pop period of the late ‘60s. These are horizontal segments of nature reproduced with foam rubber, allowing for a real tactile and bodily experiencing of the works. The illustrated work “Ura-gano” (Hurricane), made in 1989, evokes a tropical terrain – a banana grove – with the evidence of the aftermath of a storm. The nature of these “carpets” is therefore that of capturing the accidentalness and chaoticness of things, thus reminding us of the biological cycle of life/death.

INSTALLATIONS

Between 1988 and 2001, the artist addressed his research to the field of the new media art, initially creating interactive multimedia installations, followed by those of “Virtual Reality”. The characteristic that this cycle of works has in common is that of involving as many people as possible in the interactive technology, placing in evidence the relational component in the sharing of the virtual and digital dimension. The illustrated work “Connected Es” is charac-terized by the offer of bodily interfacing with devices for measuring one’s breathing and heart-beat, leading to an intense emotional attuning. “CONNECTED ES” Interactive Installation of Virtual Reality. Technical Collaborator: Ennio Bertrand. 5x5m space required .

IXIANA PROJECT

This is a project (not achieved) of an “artistic-technological park” de-veloped with a large group of artists and designers in the field of new me-dia art, during the second half of the ‘80s, for Parc de La Villette in Pa-ris. The project was centered around an enormous inhabitable sculpture, containing a virtual creative path de-dicated to the five senses, and repre-senting a “giant child” stretched out lying upon a grassy field. The illu-stration shows a segment of the sculp-ture with the various “stations” of the interior path culminating in the head, the quarters for the telematic network connections.

PARK OF LIVING ART

As of 2002, a space has been opened in Turin where it is possible to create an art park. The author, also based on experience accumulated in elaborating the IXIANA project, then developed a new idea coherent with the new goals of artistic research, with particular reference to Life Science Art. Befo-re the successive elaboration on be-half of the current Planning Group, the proposal of the Eco Park of Art was presented on two levels: a hi-gher open-air level, with a path of artistic installations on the grassy grounds and an underground level, with a series of rooms and laboratories for free expression.
