r o m i n a b a s s u nasce nel 1982 a Roma, vive e lavora tra Roma e Siviglia. Studia
all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma e presso la Facultad de Bellas Artes di Sevilla. Nel
2004 inizia la sua collaborazione come assistente nello studio di Alberto di Fabio e in
quello di Cristiano Pintaldi. Dopo alcuni anni si sposta a Londra dove inizia la serie "I'm
stressed out" che si conclude a Berlino con una personale. Trasferitasi in Spagna dà
inizio al progetto "Archivo anonimo", che parte da una minuziosa ricerca di foto
antiche che evocano il passato. Con i suoi lavori l'artista cerca di rendere il senso del
tempo che scorre sugli esseri umani cancellandoli e trasformandoli in figure
nostalgiche. In questa prospettiva crea una "mitologia individuale" nella quale tutti
possono riconoscersi.
r o m i n a b a s s u born in 1982 in Rome, she lives and works between Rome and
Seville. She studied between the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome and the Faculty of
Fine Arts of Seville. In 2004 she started a collaboration as assistant for Alberto di Fabio
and Cristiano Pintaldi. Some years later Romina Bassu moves to London where she
began the series "I'm stressed out" which ends in Berlin with a personal show. She
moved to Spain and she begins the project "Anonymous Archive", which involves the
collection of photographs from the past. Through her works, the artist tries to evoke
the sense of time passing on humans being deleting them and turning them into
nostalgic figures. In this perspective she creates an "individual mythology" in which we
can all recognise ourselves.

p a o l o p o l l o n i a t o nasce a Nove (Vicenza) nel 1979, vive e lavora tra
Bruxelles e Nove. Proviene da una storica famiglia di Maestri Artigiani legati da due
secoli alla produzione della ceramica di Nove, uno dei centri più importanti in Italia.
Concluso il corso di decorazione all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, la ceramica
contemporanea diventa il suo settore di ricerca principale. Attraverso l'indagine e la
manipolazione di stampi delle varie manifatture storiche del suo luogo di origine,
l'artista crea sculture e installazioni concettuali in cui la storia si rapporta con il
presente generando nuovi scenari. Nel maggio 2012 viene invitato a Vallauris per
tenere un work shop e per una residenza d'artista in cui ha realizzato delle opere
utilizzando gli stampi storici del centro di produzione ceramica francese.
p a o l o p o l l o n i a t o was born in Nove (Vicenza, Italy) in 1979, he currently lives
and works between Bruxelles and Nove. He descends from a family of Master
Craftsmen with a bicentennial history in ceramic production, Nove being one of the
most important centres of ceramic manufacture in Italy. After he specialised in
Decoration at the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice, contemporary ceramics became
his main area of research. Through the study and manipulation of moulds from the
historical manufactories of his birthplace, the artist creates sculptures and conceptual
installations in which tradition mixes with present and generates new scenarios. In
May 2012, he was invited in Vallauris, well-known for its pottery tradition, to hold a
workshop and for an artist-in-residence program where he created some works using
the traditional local moulds.
