book launch: Davide Cascio, Mendrisio Art Museum
Chaosmos

Davide Cascio is an artist from Ticino whose research generally starts from a careful analysis of sources from the past in order to develop modernist projects deeply connected to the concept of metamorphosis and conversion. His installations, with an architectural matrix, operate as a mental journey that, following the logic of unpredictability, cultivate utopian ideals. The main feature of his works is the geometric rigour that recalls both the constructivist and supremacist avant-garde movements of the early 20th century and the Bauhaus school and radical architecture.

The artists were selected from the 25 years of monographs published by Phaidon in their Contemporary Artists Series.

This is the first solo museum exhibition of work by the artist in the Western United States.

The Economist Plaza, London

Test Flights are a series of sculptures created for the Economist Plaza with an intriguing twist on site-specificity. Each form makes visible the forces of gravity and the power of free fall - for it is as if they have been dropped from each tower. The deformation of the sculptures charts the different heights of the buildings, varying from moderate compression of the original sphere to nearly complete flattening.
Test Flights has been funded by Arts Council England, and is being produced as part of an artist residency at the European Ceramic Work Centre, Amsterdam.
