“A small town like any other, it’s Christmas time, at the beginning of the main street, the usual Christmas illuminations.
Christmas is always the same, like every year… A little happy, a little boring. But something has changed and the writing seems to have undergone a metamorphosis.
Merry Christmas has become Merry Greenmass, mingling with the infamous Green Pass.
The daily hammering on the news and the debates about vaccines, covid 19 test and NHS COVID Pass have not spared the Holy Christmas, confusing even the manufacturers of illuminations who, who knows how, have mistakenly composed the writing.” Davide Mancini Zanchi

The FEC is taking part in the opening event of Fabriano’s ZONA CONCE, the new cultural centre born out of the requalification of the former tannery buildings that, on 3 July, will host artists, exhibitions, workshops and guests from all over Italy for an opening event that will also enable people to meet and interact.

HUNGRY FOR WIND. FABRIZIO CRISÀ DESIGNER

This volume recounts the story of a company seen through the eyes of Fabrizio Crisà, the designer who, through his work, was able to interpret the vision of his admiral, setting unexplored routes in a constant search for the wind of innovation and change.

Matteo Fato, Cosa Naturale, 2020 (approx.)

The mind is in the likeness of a pine cone, which we carry as a representation of our pineal gland. Drawing a pine cone is a cerebral self-portrait, with the scales of all memories and all notions. It is our intimate, fatal compatibility with Nature.

The artist Matteo Fato lets us enter in his studio telling us about the portrait through his works. The video was made for the GENTILE COME UN PORTRAIT project – curated by Marcello Smarrelli – conceived as part of the 50th anniversary of Elica, which starts from the presumed self-portrait of Gentile da Fabriano in the altarpiece of the Adorazione dei Magi (1423) to recompose , thanks to the mark left on the canvas by each participant, a new, metaphorical portrait, a collective image of the company.

GENTILE COME UN RITRATTO is the project by artist Matteo Fato, curated by Marcello Smarrelli, conceived for the E-STRAORDINARIO – FEC training programme with contemporary art, as part of Elica’s 50th anniversary.

Desirescope was born from the North Star, which has always been a point of reference for travelers on Earth. It is an ideal telescope created to find our deepest wishes lost in the meanders of everyday life: who knows if looking through it will helps us to not lose ourselves anymore.
