AUTHOR BOX: M. LOVI
Born in Lucca, he still works there today. He began his artistic activity in the ’70s with solo and group painting exhibitions. At the same time, alongside his architectural studies, he developed his first experimental readings of urban physical space through performances and installations. Then, in 1985, he took part in the Third International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale with Adolfo Natalini. During that period, he also created Uscita dell’Emiciclo and other objects for Megalopoli Milano.
From 1986 onward, he began his professional activity as an architect, focusing on the space between art, architecture, and design. In this context, Lovi designs interiors, private residences, shops, and installations, integrating memory, architecture, and art. At the same time, he collaborates with Italian companies in the design of objects and furniture, and he made his debut with Giovannetti through Amata in 1992. Over the years, he has taken part in exhibitions and events dedicated to design and art.
In 2005, he created La casa nella scatola, with an introduction by Philippe Daverio, for Comieco, Milan. With this book, he won the 2005 edition of the National Gianfranco Fedrigoni Prize for fine editions. In addition, Anime dove passa meglio il vento, a solo exhibition, was held at DiART in Trapani. Then, in 2006, came Naiadi and Tu aravi la terra io l’aria, a bronze fountain in Andria, as well as Oltremare, a sculptural group in Savelletri, Brindisi.
Later, in 2009, came Arte del quotidiano and M. Lovi tra arte e design 1970–2000. Subsequently, in 2010, came Signifying Infinity. Then, in 2011, came Otto luogo dell’arte, Radura, the 54th Venice Biennale, and Oh! Nirica. Finally, in 2012, came Il sogno della passione and Tabula rasa.
