The others 2015
Remain pure, true, true to oneself and one’s ideals, whole in body, steadfast in spirit, always in motion, sensitive to what is happening around. Being free, unconventional, subversive towards homologations or stereotypes. Try to be happy, positive, creative, that is, to feel good, with oneself and with others, with the world. There is a way to say it all, an expression that is a mood, a project, a choice. staygold is the suggestion of The Others 2015, to be shared with all who will be part of it.

FULVIA MENDINI
The secular nature and the liturgy of Marian faces in an earthly fusion, inside the cell of a former prison, to dream of an exquisite and golden garden.
BEFORE TIME
FLOWERS AND MADONNAS
Painting Madonnas is an intimate spiritual need of mine.
The face of Mary is a soothing icon that gives joy and well-being.
I would like these images to communicate sweetness, love and beauty.
The flowers represent my sense of space.
They are microcosms in which I express desires and forms, colored organisms that pulsate with enchanting vitality. A botanical constellation, the vocabulary of which belongs to nature, art history, and decoration history.
The secular nature and the liturgy of Marian faces in an earthly fusion, inside a cell of a former prison, to dream of an exquisite and golden garden.

SERGIO CASCAVILLA
The machine that transforms objects into GOLD
GOLD TRANSFORMER
THE WORLD IS YOURS
The “Gold Transformer” machine is part of a much larger and more complex project entitled: “THE WORLD IS YOURS,” consisting of various installations with which the public can interact. The project focuses on the contrasts of today’s world, from “politics,” “power,” “fear,” “ethics,” “consumerism,” and, with the machine part, on “the utopia of happiness” and “economics.”
The machine that turns everything into GOLD is the object of desire that everyone would like, to turn anything into GOLD, to have everything, therefore power. Unknowingly at the same time GOLD would be devalued by the large amount available, losing its initial value, and its economic potential, consequently power.
Because happiness is not in the objects, but it is within us.
OPERATION
The lever is lowered, the machine starts up;
lights, buttons, and screens start flashing;
you start to hear noises of machine movement;
you place an object on top of the conveyor roller, which slowly brings in the object to be transformed;
through a combination of secret codes you press the buttons that interact with each other, creating alchemical combinations within it, according to the result you want to obtain;
suddenly the machine starts to smoke, this is the signal that everything is going perfectly;
after 23 hours and 57 minutes you get the desired effect, the object appears at the top of the transparent dome transformed into GOLD !!!
The “Gold Transformer” machine is 2 meters high and 120 cm wide, and is modular in 3 main parts,
is composed internally of electrical and mechanical parts and partly of highly secret elements, the installation is composed of various contour elements, such as specially designed carpet with gold flash, gold ceramic objects, and many other elements that give the installation a strong emotional impact.
