AtemporaryStudio supports Arcipèlago — the ephemeral creative space founded by Charlotte Ménard and Artemio Croatto within the Designwork graphic design studio — in the promotion and targeted press office activities for the exhibition projects that animate the cultural life of the space. Strictly without time constraints or thematic strands.
Founded by Artemio Croatto and Charlotte Ménard in May 2021, Arcipèlago is a creative space housed within the Designwork graphic design studio in Udine, but it is also the realisation of a story. A spontaneous tale of journeys and encounters, of insights and fairy tales, of light, wood and clay, of different knowledge and common strengths.
Like an underwater current, Arcipèlago has offered a series of exhibition projects, each one a journey adrift among ideas, artists and disciplines, discovering unique perspectives and rare talents.
From Arcipèlago, the inaugural project of the same name that brought together a constellation of 25 creative friends to celebrate eclecticism and poetry with naturalness, to the work of the graphic collective Cabaret Typographie and their highly personal use of typography, colour and the fascinating technique of letterpress. From Lost&Found, which gave a second life to a selection of anonymous and orphaned photographs taken between the 1940s and 1960s, now part of Cristian Malisan’s archive at 2.190° Fahrenheit on the edge of volcanoes, dedicated to the wild beauty of nature and volcanoes and the colossal flow of energy that lives beneath our feet, with the participation of Clive Oppenheimer, professor of volcanology at the Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge and co-author with Werner Herzog of the documentary “Into the Inferno”.
And then there is Cosa rimane del giorno (What remains of the day) with collages between current events and imagination, contemporary life and the past by Giona Maiarelli and Vanda Gemino; Tutto inizia da un filo (Everything starts with a thread), a solo exhibition of art quilts by textile artist Fabia Delise accompanied by photographs and macro details by Massimo Gardone; and The Golden Age, a journey through images in Fabio Cussigh’s bold and impulsive personal photographic archive, organised to coincide with the publication of the book he co-authored with Charlotte Ménard.
