They both graduated in Sculpture from the Academies of Fine Arts in Florence and Rome, then continued their studies at the Universidad del País Vasco in Bilbao. They took part in artistic residencies in Greece, Israel, England, Finland and the United States. The relationship with the other and its possibilities of investigation and transformation are the guidelines of their research.
MARIA POSITANO
Manifattura Tessile DINOLE®
Maria Positano (1995) is a visual artist living between Italy and London. She completed her education in London, graduating from the City and Guilds of London Art School in 2018 and the Royal College of Art in 2023. Inspired by her experience of growing up among cultures other than her native one, she has developed a hybrid, cross-cultural identity. Maria develops her work from a sense of belonging, a nomadic lifestyle and a practice that is often on the move. Her polymorphic work invites new interpretations of protective and defensive devices, re-reading ancient stories in a transformative and speculative key.
LORENZO ZERBINI
Xerjoff
Lorenzo Zerbini (2000) lives and works between Vienna and Venice; he studied at the Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien and graduated at the IUAV University of Venice. In 2024 he worked as a researcher at the research centre Institute for Postnatural Studies in Madrid. In his research, he investigates the ecological and cultural complexity of relations between the human and his non-human othernesses. His practice, mainly sculptural in nature, incorporates a variety of materials, including: soap, wax, pesticides, seeds, copper, bioplastics and organic elements.
