The Ermanno Casoli Award has become international

18.05.2015
The Ermanno Casoli award has become international. The XV edition of the award was won by the Chinese artist Yang Zhenzhong with the project Disguise, curated by Marcello Smarrelli. Yang Zhenzhong worked in this project in the Elica plant of Shengzhou for over two months, also involving dozens of employees; an approach that is in line with the previous editions of the Award, which represents a real task assigned by the Ermanno Casoli Foundation to an artist, aimed at creating a work for a company that envisages the active participation of the staff working there.

The title, Disguise, immediately takes us into a typical theatre atmosphere, which is emphasized by a series of masques reproducing the facial features of the staff involved, which were made thanks to the use of a technologically advanced technique, like the 3D scanning. The masks were then worn by the employees during a performance that was carried out in the company, that provided some material to film a video. The project was shown in the Elica Show Room in Shanghai on Saturday May 9th, in the presence of Mr. Francesco Casoli, President of Elica Group and Mrs. Viviana Cattelan, Vice President of Ermanno Casoli Foundation; Mr. Roberto Di Fiore, CEO of Elica China; Deborah Carè, General Manager of Ermanno Casoli Foundation, Mr. Marcello Smarrelli, Artistic Director of Ermanno Casoli Foundation, among others.
