No matter how beautiful or complex it may be, no matter how hard it is to create, or how artistic its effect can be, the Mandala, like these shoes and my installation, like the Sioux family, is meant to proudly fade away. Sebastiano Mauri
Sebastiano Mauri (Milan, 1972) with an Italian/Argentine background. He has lived and worked extensively in Italy, New Yotk and Buenos Aires.
He graduated from New York University film school where his short films won both the Warner Brothers Award and the Martin Scorsese Post-Production Award.
Sebastiano's artworks have been shown worldwide at prestigious exhibitions and events in the Museo d'Arte Contemporanea of Trento and Rovereto (MART), Museum National of Contemporary Arta of Bucarest (MNAC), Center Cultural de España de Buenos Aires (CCEBA), VIA FARINI (Milano), Center of Contemporary Art, Chisnau (KSA:K), Fundacion de Arte Contemporanea, Mentevideo (FAC), Centro Cultural Recoleta, Buenos Aires (CCR), Espacio Casa de la Cultura (Buenos Aires), Palazzo delle Papesse (Siena), MAN (Nuoro), Triennale of Milan and the Havana Biennal in 2009
The installation of Sebastiano Mauri has roots in his previous works, in which shapes merge together in order to express a harmonic spirituality that is the union of unusual senses and icons of faith.
The vision behind this project to undertake a deeper research into the lives of people that reside in our minds, in this case the Native Americans who are inviting us to enter inside a tent for a reciprocal exchange.
