Laboratory as invited lecturers. Ratti cooperates with the Foundation at the ARF Artist Limited Edition Series workshop for emerging artists.
For the 2016 workshop Tacita Dean created eight silk pouches printed with Giotto frescoes.
Exhibitions are also very important, and are
often born out of cooperation with the Antonio Ratti Foundation. In the exhibition: Arabesque
– Antonio Ratti: ll tessuto come Arte (fabric as art), which is a part of a programme which started in 2017 at Palazzo Te in Mantova, Ratti continues to seek to narrate the passion for beauty of a refined and multifaceted person who, investing
in the creation and enhancement of fabric as art, has learned over decades to give prominence to
the art of printing. The exhibition highlights the experimentation and the creativity of Antonio Ratti, investigating not only the poetry of his passion but also the connection between business culture and humanistic culture.
The story that derives from this entrepreneurial experience overlaps with the narration of a story of fabric, ironing out the creases and allowing the close link between fashion and art to emerge.
Once again Ratti has chosen to remain close to the world of art because, as on this occasion,
the narrative via fabric focuses the gaze of the visitor towards the elements that have enveloped the life of this patron, accompanying him along an introspective and fascinating journey around creativity and talent.
Enhancing history and trends in the world
of art by promoting initiatives, study and research with the goal of disseminating a culture of beauty as the primary source of creativity.
