THE ARTIST AND THE STONE

Continue

The Artist and the Stone is an on-going process-based artwork that speaks of mobility, citizenship, desire and constraint by negotiating the twofold movement of a subject (a performance artist) and an object (a 22-tonne block of stone) from the same area of PalestineĀ to Spain.

First conceived by Matteo Guidi and Giuliana Racco in January 2014, The Artist and the Stone is a continuation of the two artistsā€™ investigation into the ways people bypass restrictions and limitations in their daily lives, moving through systems imposed on them.

From its very conception, The Artist and the Stone has catalysed exhibitions, workshops, round tables and pedagogical activities.
