FOUNDATION CINI : TO REMETAPHYSIZE ART

I am most delighted to be invited to the Foundation Cini in Venice.  For the third year in a row, as an artist, I will be joining the distinguished Alpine Fellowship.  I am honored and humbled to be part of this cloister of extraordinary minds.To bring back philosophers and artists together is one of the most important task for our civilization today. Philosophy and Art together will remetaphysize art and that is exactly what is needed and it is what I am trying to do in sculpture since 20 years.Did I say art ? No I meant Art this activity that use to be civilization-defining since 7000 years. I can't wait to see you my friends...
