<strong>FILIPPO</strong> <strong>MINELLI</strong> (IT)<br />
Silence Shapes (December 7th, 2012 - January 20th, 2013)<br />
Italian artist Filippo Minelli studied art and even gradu<strong>at</strong>ed cum laude. But it was his childhood th<strong>at</strong><br />
shaped his sense for the visual: his aunt, who helped raised him, was deaf. Looking back <strong>at</strong> th<strong>at</strong><br />
experience, Minelli explains how it “trained him to look for the most simple way to express concepts<br />
in the presence and absence of speech.”<br />
Minelli has been cre<strong>at</strong>ing art for public spaces since the l<strong>at</strong>e 1990s. Traces of his work can be found<br />
all over the world, from European capitals and Southeast Asian cities, to more rural environments<br />
like the Italian countryside, the Mongolian steppe, or African deserts.<br />
While Minelli is interested in geopolitics, he says he does not follow the daily news. He says it prevents<br />
him deciphering and portraying reality, or considering different directions.<br />
Minelli’s exhibition, Silence Shapes, <strong>at</strong> Ruttkowski;68, is his first solo show in Germany. It fe<strong>at</strong>ures a<br />
series of images showing artificial, colored smoke violently erupting in pristine, n<strong>at</strong>ural landscapes.<br />
The contrast shows th<strong>at</strong> beauty can be found in clashing visions.<br />
