Numeroventi was pleased to announce Material Myths, the solo show of Ali Gallefoss. First shown at Numeroventi in Florence, the exhibition was later presented at Capsule Plaza in Milan.
Material Myths was the result of a two-month residency of the Oslo-based artist Ali Gallefoss, which led to a series of sculptural furniture, extruded interiors, and ceramic vases. The pieces, sitting on the threshold between art and design, emerged from Gallefoss’ research on the traditional manufacturing techniques that characterized the region of Florence. The focus and relationship with materials—in this case aluminium and ceramic—were two leading elements of Ali Gallefoss’ practice. Infused by an initial vision or idea, matter was addressed as a living entity, suggesting the relationship between an artist and their muse.
The realisation of Material Myths featured a collaboration with a family-run foundry located in Pistoia working with lost-wax casti
