Experimentelle Kunstwerke, inspiriert von natürlichen Formen aus der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt, produziert mit CNC-Technologie
Die Marmomac hat ihr ehemaliges „Italian Stone Theatre“ in „Plus Theatre“ umbenannt und ist damit von Halle 1 in Halle 10 umgezogen. Die Schau ist nach wie vor der Ort für innovative Ideen, was in Produktdesign, Architektur und Kunst aus Marmor, Granit & Co gemacht werden kann. Wir veröffentlichen die Pressetexte zu 4 der Präsentationen:
VISIONARY STONE (Kurator und Autor: Industriedesigner Raffaello Galiotto) ist eine Ausstellung von Kunstwerken aus Naturstein, die mit parametrischer Software entworfen und komplett mit CNC-Maschinen bearbeitet wurden. Die Ausstellung umfasst 9 Steinskulpturen, die von den natürlichen Formen des Tier- und Pflanzenreichs inspiriert sind. Sie orientieren sich an kompositorischen Logiken wie Symmetrie und Phylloktaxis – bildlich gesprochen liegen sie auf halbem Weg zwischen einem fossilen Fund und den gestrandeten Exoskeletten von Meerestieren.
Die visionäre Kollektion will eine Debatte zwischen natürlich und künstlich anregen, indem Naturstein auf die digitale Welt trifft, ausgelebt im Kontrast zwischen Materialität und Immaterialität beziehungsweise Mensch und Roboter.
Der so bearbeitete Stein, mit wahrnehmungsfähigen, visuellen und taktilen Fräsungen von höchster Präzision, lädt den Betrachter zu einer neuartigen Erfahrung ein. Die zunächst rein technische Übung lässt so etwas ästhetisch ganz Neues entstehen.
Die Werke sind in der Ausstellung auf 3 Inseln, ebenfalls aus Stein, angeordnet.
Die Ausstellung wurde in Kooperation mit Unternehmen entwickelt, die sich auf die Verarbeitung und den Bau von Maschinen für die Natursteinbranche spezialisiert haben.

CAULA: The upper surface of this ‘abyssal creature’ is characterized by an opposing symmetrical shape and is divided into adjacent areas obtained by brushing the marble with a disc. The laminated part underneath is visible right up to the walls of the rounded edges and is engraved with radial milling paths.
Production: Etna Stone & Design
Machinery: Emmedue
Tools: Nicolai Diamant
Software: DDX
Material: Bianco Carrara
Measurements: 122 x 103 x 28 cm
PORA is halfway between the marine inspiration of mollusc exoskeletons and the woody conformations of plant seeds. A lithic interpretation of fascinating natural forms translated into numerical paths and computerized marble processing.
Production: Generelli
Material: Marmo di Arzo
Measurements: 74.5 x 95,5 x 15 cm
PROTO I: The work is conceived as a computer-drawn primary element from which other forms can be generated. Distinguished by the book matched Rosewood marble, the sculpture evokes the seascape and internal structures of an unknown being. The natural material, with its unrepeatable textures, gives uniqueness to the potentially replicable form.
Production: Scuola Tecnica del Marmo – Settore Arte e Automazione – Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella
Machinery: Gmm
Software: DDX
Bonding chemicals: Tenax
Material: Palissandro Reale by Gruppo Tosco Marmi O.M.G.
Measurements: 61 x 132.5 x 1.5 cm
PROTO II: According to natural evolutionary logic, in this work, the parameters of the initial computer algorithm (Proto I) that generated the form were varied, extending, amplifying or reducing its parts, to give rise to a ‘new species’. The work’s small, delicate protuberances denote the subtlety and fragility of superb numerical workmanship.
Production: Gmm
Software: Alphacam by Licom Systems
Material: Palissandro Reale by Gruppo Tosco Marmi O.M.G.
Measurements: 118 x 113 x 20 cm
PROTO III: The original lithic form (Proto I, Proto II) becomes more complex, it ripples, takes on body and expands, extending its wings perhaps to leave the liquid world to soar into the gaseous one. The eyelet openings are produced by the intersection of the milling paths of the surfaces, front and back, and emphasise the precision of the symmetrical workmanship and the compactness of the material.
Production: Generelli
Material: Palissandro Oniciato by Gruppo Tosco Marmi O.M.G.
Measurements: 147.5 x 83.5 x 20 cm
STELLATA: Just as an internal structure of a body is molded by the surrounding limbs, so the marble work is worked by sinuous paths set against discs in brushing. The fascinating similarity stimulates reflection on the incidence of working methods (methodology, precision, marks, surface quality) in relation to creative intent and correspondence with the designed form.
Production: Odone Angelo
Material: Rosa Norvegia by Nikolaus Bagnara
Measurements: 109.5 x 71 x 11.5 cm
TESTUDO: Like the carapace of an animal, the hard but permeable shell seems to protect the hypothetical soft limbs that once, perhaps, pulsed beneath. Sensations evoked by the Rosa Norvegia marble that enhances the elongated organic form thanks to the white, crystalline tongues included in its pinkish background.
Production: Odone Angelo
Material: Rosa Norvegia by Nikolaus Bagnara
Measurements: 118 x 48 x 14 cm
TRUNCUS I: The essentiality of the disc milling paths contrasts with the strong visceral organicity of the form. The especially selected Rosa Peralba marble changes the perceptive sensation of the material from mineral to animal.
Production: Margraf
Material: Rosa Peralba by Margraf
Measurements: 115.5 x 84.5 x 39.5 cm
TRUNCUS II: The apparent fragility of the lithic skeleton conceals skilful computerized structural design and precise numerical processing. Digital immateriality and lithic materiality merge in this large thoracic structure as a kind of unknown remnant of an imaginary world.
Production: Margraf
Material: Rosa Peralba by Margraf
Measurements: 157 x 70 x 34 cm
PARAMETRIC STONE LANDSCAPE is the name for the 3 exhibit islands on which the works are presented. Each island measures 2.5 x 9 m; the Pietra Leccese in slabs was processed with numerically controlled machines capable of precisely producing all the components required to create the shape. The final, hollow relief is composed of the dry superimposition of all the elements produced. The project aims to restore a hilly trend of strong three-dimensionality while minimising the use of material.
Production: Bianco Cave by Fato Stone
Material: Pietra Leccese by Fato Stone
Measurements: 230 x 900 cm
