The exhibition involves 15 illustrators, each representing different research approaches within the Italian scene. Each artist has tackled the theme of repetition, creating their own interpretation of a loop in a square silkscreen print.
LOOP started as a traveling project, taking on different characteristics each time, depending on the nature of the location.

The project

The word “loop” refers to the infinite repetition of the same module, as seen in electronic music sampling, where each individual sample, when extracted and combined with others, breaks its cycle and becomes part of a composite whole.
The project, founded on the idea of exchange, invited the participating artists to reinterpret the concept of repetition in a personal way, understanding it as the routine of daily life. The theme of the loop, freely interpreted, has resulted in a collection where each piece maintains its own personality while contributing to the construction of a collective journey.
Each print was produced in a square format (48×48), using two colors, by the Le Raclet studio in Milan, employing the silkscreen technique, in a limited edition of 30 copies.
