Cuore dedicato ad Alessandro Mendini
By Massimo Caiazzo
Located in Milano, IT
Il cuore dedicato ad Alessandro è Mendini è l'ultimo di una serie di 7 pezzi realizzati in plexiglas curvato a caldo con un procedimento artigianale. La superficie interna del cuore è stampata con una interpretazione originale di Massimo Caiazzo del pattern di "Proust" di Alessandro Mendini. Il cuore nasce come oggetto celebrativo dedicato ad Alessandro Mendini artista e designer tra i più apprezzati del novecento, grande maestro di Policromia del quale Caiazzo è stato collaboratore per sedici anni. Il Cuore dedicato Sandro Mendini è stato esposto al "Festival dell'Amore“ presso la Triennale di Milano (2019) e alla mostra personale di Massimo Caiazzo dal titolo “Policromia" tenutasi al palazzo Reale di Santo Domingo (2019). Massimo Caiazzo (Napoli 1966) è un esperto di progettazione cromatica, che affianca all'esperienza accademica la progettazione “sensibile” della luce e del colore nei settori dell’architettura, del design, della moda e della comunicazione. Presidente di IACC Italia, sede di International Association of Colour Consultant, fondata nel 1957 a Hilversum e citata dalla Fondazione Munsell tra le quattro migliori scuole di colore del mondo. Docente a tempo indeterminato di Cromatologia presso l'Accademia di Verona dal 2003 al 2015, tiene corsi sul colore nella progettazione presso alla SPD (Scuola Politecnica di Design Milano), alla Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) e alla Domus Academy di Milano. La sua formazione sul colore è iniziata all'Atelier Mendini di Milano (1990-2006), dove ha fatto parte del team guidato dal designer e artista Alessandro Mendini, maestro della policromia. Allievo di Frank Mahnke e di Narciso Silvestrini, ha seguito i loro insegnamenti sulla natura interdisciplinare del colore e sull'importanza di condividerne la cultura per renderla una risorsa per la riabilitazione del nostro ambiente costruito. Nel 2021 è stato nominato testimonial del Design Italiano nel modo ed è stato scelto come oratore principale di Color Impact, all’Università di Yale, la più importante conferenza internazionale sul colore dedicata all’ambiente costruito. Ha pubblicato con Silvia Botti il best seller “Abitare i colori” per Vallardi Editore.
