About the Item

Ugo La Pietra, " Genius Loci' " Acrylic on Canvas, 2009 Signed and Dated by Artist on front and rear. Coded and Archived by Ugo La Pietra Archives. Certificate of Authenticity available on purchase. Ugo La Pietra (1938 Bussi sul Tirino) lives and works in Milan. An architect by training, he is an artist, filmmaker, editor, musician, cartoonist and teacher. He has been defining himself as a researcher in communication systems and in visual arts since 1960, moving simultaneously in the worlds of art and design. From the early 1960s he was interested in the experiments of the Viennese architects (Hollein, Pichler…) and worked to break down the separations between forms and disciplines through drawing, painting and architecture by exploring the theme of the “synesthesia of the arts.” In 1967, Ugo La Pietra became more radical in his critic of functionalism, which, according to him, asphyxiated the individual. He developed an “unbalancing system,” which, through the use of objects, audiovisual environments and immersions, aimed to broaden the field of human perception and to make the viewer an active participant. In the 1970s, urban zones became the focus of his attention. Equipped with “deciphering tools,” he surveyed the city down to its tiniest interstices in a quest for “degrees of liberty.” The artist methodically reappropriates and reinterprets urban space utilizing photography, film, drawing and photomontage. For him, we weave the city through our behaviors and our choices: “Inhabiting the city means being at home everywhere.” A tireless experimenter, he has crossed different currents (from Informalism and Conceptual Art to Narrative Art and artist’s cinema) and used multiple mediums, conducting research that were embodied in the theory of the “Disequilibrating System” – autonomous expression within Radical Design – and in important sociological themes such as “The Telematic Home” (MoMA, New York, 1972 – Fiera di Milano, 1983), “Real Space / Virtual Space” (Triennale di Milano 1979, 1992), “The eclectic Home” (Abitare il Tempo, 1990), “Beach Culture” (Centro Culturale Cattolica, 1985/95). He has transmitted his work through numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad, and he has curated several exhibitions at the Triennale di Milano, the Venice Biennale, the Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon, the FRAC Centre in Orléans, the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, the Fondazione Ragghianti in Lucca, the Fondazione Mudima in Milano and the Museo MA*GA in Gallarate. He has always critically maintained the humanistic, significant and territorial components of design through his works and objects, as well as his work in teaching, theory and publishing.
