Blue and Joy - Biografia Blue and Joy

Blue and Joy ‐ Biografia "Blue and Joy" sono i protagonisti di un prolifico progetto di arte contemporanea iniziato da Fabio La Fauci (Milano 1977) e Daniele Sigalot (Roma 1976) alla fine del 2005. Il progetto ruota intorno a due pupazzi, Blue e Joy appunto, e le loro scoraggianti avventure, e si sviluppa attraverso media distinti, che vanno dalla pittura, alla fotografia, alla scultura, fino ai mosaici, per poi estendersi al mondo dell'editoria e a quello del digitale. Il progetto "Blue and Joy" è nato nel 2005 con la prima esposizione a Barcellona ed il lancio parallelo del libro comic intitolato "Out of Wishes", pubblicato in inglese ed in italiano, e da lì si è sviluppato esponenzialmente attraverso diverse esposizioni in giro per l'Europa (Milano, Roma, Ibiza, Parigi, Londra, Firenze e Berlino) e recentemente anche l’Asia (la prima Biennale di Nanchino) Fabio La Fauci e Daniele Sigalot hanno lavorato in pubblicità a Milano, Barcellona e Londra, dove nel 2007 si sono dimessi dall'agenzia Saatchi&Saatchi per dedicarsi a tempo pieno a Blue and Joy. Nel 2008 si sono trasferiti a Berlino dove vivono e hanno aperto il loro studio “La Pizzeria” Kevin Roberts, Worldwide CEO Saatchi&Saatchi e autore di "Lovemarks" dice di loro: " Blue and Joy sono sognatori. Creano sorrisi ovunque arrivi il loro lavoro. Sui muri, sui libri, nei quadri, nei sogni. Le idee sono ciò che conta nel mondo di oggi, e Blue and Joy incarnano questo motto con la loro creatività che brilla ovunque indipendentemente dal mezzo scelto. Il loro spettacolo è senza paura." Blue and Joy ‐ Biography Blue and Joy is a prolific contemporary artistic project invented by Fabio La Fauci (Milan 1977) and Daniele Sigalot (Rome 1976) at the end of 2005. The project develops around two characters, Blue and Joy, and their discouraging adventures, and works both on fine arts media, such as paintings, pictures, sculptures and mosaics, as well as digital and publishing media. The Blue and Joy project began in 2005 with the first exhibition in Barcelona and with the launch of the comic book entitled "Out of wishes", it then carried on with a snowball effect that quickly led to several different exhibitions through out Europe (Milan, Rome, Ibiza, Paris, London, Florence and Berlin) and recently also Asia (the first Nanjing Biennale). Fabio La Fauci and Daniele Sigalot, who worked for advertising companies in Milan, Barcelona and London until 2007, when they left Saatchi&Saatchi London and moved to Berlin in 2008, where they work fulltime in their studio “La Pizzeria” Kevin Roberts, Worldwide CEO Saatchi&Saatchi and author of “Lovemarks” says about them: “Blue and Joy are dreamers. They create smiles wherever their work lives. On walls, in books, in pictures, in dreams. Ideas are what matters in today’s world and Blue and Joy encompass that completely with their creativity shiningthrough regardless of the medium. Their show’s fearlsess.”
