Ho passato quasi 5 ore tra una mostra e l’altra, le opere esposte sono di altissima qualità. Vi rimando ai siti ufficiali se volete maggiori informazioni, io ero interessata soprattutto all’opera di Mandy Geer, segnalatami da una gentile blogger (non ricordo purtroppo chi fosse).
I went visiting the present exhibitions in Palazzo Strozzi: ‘Americani a Firenze’ and ‘American Dreamers’.
I spent nearly 5 hours between the 2 exhibitions, the works on show are of a very high quality. Have a look at the official websites for more information, I was mostly interested in Mandy Geer, whose work was pointed out to me by a kind blogger (who was she unfortunately I do not remember).
Inutile dirlo, vero? Questa signora è una ‘fiber artist’ che usa soprattutto fibre nelle sue opere. Uncinetto, trecce, perline, tessuto, cuciture: tutto viene armoniosamente utilizzato per queste installazioni fantastiche che sembrano provenire da un mondo mitologico ed irreale.
Guess what: this lady is a fiber artist who mostly uses fibers in her artwork. Crochet, braids, beads, fabric, stitches: everything is harmoniously employed for these fantastic installations that seem to come from a mythological and dreamy world.

Consiglio una visita su Google Immagini, vedrete anche splendidi vestiti ed acconciature originali, un tripudio di colori, fantasia e manualità.
I recommend a visit to Google Images where you will be able to admire some wearable art, gorgeous dresses and brilliant hairdressings, a blaze of colour, imagination and skill.
Mostra davvero particolare, peccato che io sia un pò troppo lontana da Palazzo Strozzi!! Un abbraccio e buonissima serata
RispondiEliminahow large are those installations? I would hate to have to dust them. and - I really like the purple.
RispondiEliminaMagnifico!?
RispondiEliminai'm so glad you went!!! Mandy is a lovely generous person, very humble and soft spoken- and her creations are so big and beautiful! And she often includes the community in the creatng. We're lucky to have her here in Seattle.
RispondiEliminacosi opulenti!
RispondiEliminaLooks amazing!
RispondiEliminaThey're incredible! So much work and so many techniques, I can see how you spent so long there enjoying the view. The second one reminds me of a chandelier with golden cobwebs. Very clever!
