The Project

The most recent works realised by Garutti in public spaces share the feature of being projects which try to meet the demands, the hopes and the desires of those who inhabit those places. Garutti has thought of this occasion as a chance to deepen the meaning of this choice. After having "lived" in this city for a while, having talked the local people and listened to their needs and expectations, he has decided to intervene in restoring one of the buildings of the city, by the people judged as one of the most symbolic and important ones for the community, even though unutilised since a long time. The Italian artist's attitude clearly weakens the role of the figure of the creating artist, who through his works decides which is the right standard of beauty and of taste of an age. Garutti sees his role as progressively transformed into that of interpreter and mediator of the collective understanding of a community which since ever has occupied a central role. In occasion of the opening of the work the choral will perform a concert in the Duomo.
