Ellard & Johnstone's FVU commission 'Everything Made Bronze' (2013) is a study of the ways in which light burnishes objects and magnifies form. The work alternates between two contrasting but related locations: Carlo Scarpa’s famous Gipsoteca plaster-cast gallery in the Museo Canova in Possagno, northern Italy, and the Venice-based plaster workshops of Eugenio de Luigi, one of Scarpa’s most important collaborators.
On Wednesday 22 April, Graham Ellard & Stephen Johnstone will be giving a lecture entitled 'Space. Mass. Light. Transparency: The display design of Carolo Scarpa's Gipsoteca Canoviana, Possagno'. The event runs alongside the 'Carol Bove/Carlo Scarpa' exhibition which is showing at the Henry Moore Institute until 12 July.
