Alchemy Foundation by Adriana and Alessandro
Warrior (1976): to create an autonomous production of furniture not
Industrial and to propose quesc ogge to the public to, across a range of
allescmenc
For the Alchemy group today it is important to a, or to "draw". Drawing, or eme, ere signs, is not "design"
And it is not "proge, or": it is instead a free and concisen movement of thought when it is expressed visually. A
Motion "waded".
For Alchemy his task of drawing a group is to give the others a testament to
"Sencmental thought". The mo of work innovation lies not in its efficiency pra ca, the "beauty" dell'ogge, or
https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_f 20/28

Consists in the love and magic with which it is proposed, in the soul that it addresses.
For Alchemy, man and woman today live in a state of turbulence and imbalance, but above, or dear, is eroded
Of their life is that of "de, garlic": frammenc organizzacvi, human, industrial, policci, cultural .... This time
Of transition sees them immersed in indefinite fear due to the disappearance of mole considerac values as sought.
You need to find yourself again, Alchimia works on considerac negacvi values, weakness, void, absence
And the deep, now understood as side-by-side reflections, or to what is external, full and violent, as things from
remove.
If the labors of times do not pass, and that there are obie, you find, if philosophy seems closed to the future, if it is
Impossible to think of general and rational transformations, the Alchemy group focuses on itself, seeks
But, to think within, with the sole intention of signaling his poetic vocation. It does its a, or
Introversion, his minimal crematory arbitrariness, beyond any judgment.
This is the "new morality" of Alchemy.
For Alchemy, disciplines do not affect when they are considered within their rules. Indeed, it is
It is important to investigate in the great free spaces existing between being.
Page 29
For Alchimia you never know whether you are doing sculpture, archery, ura, applied art, theater or
even more. The prose, or acts ambiguously outside the prose, or himself, in a state of waste, of indifference
Disciplinary, dimensional and conceal, the proge, or is just a gymnast of the design.
Alchemy's memory and tradition are important. But the new design is independent of any failure
Rhetorical, which Alchimia shakes and decays in a formal form and kaleidoscopic scal.
For Alchemy is well-specialization, namely the assumption that they should live conception methods and
"Confused" production, where they can mix brickwork, industry, information, techniques and materials to, and
ina, hich.
For Alchemy worth the conce or "variation". Given the insufficiency of design to face the world, the design
https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_f 21/28
2017/8/22 Untitled
It becomes a concise work without beginning, endless, and without jumble. Language and language games
Behavior interweaves, combine and repeat infinitely in the two-dimensional image and
Three-dimensional of the orge, or drawn, into a system of orderly disorder, valid only "within itself". The beaters, or
Visual wins on the cultural root and on the plowing, it is worth the purified image, cooled and "detached" from the weight
Anthropological and ritual of the arcsta. The indefinite mistake of fantasy gives rise to the construction of a
A mechanism which represents, in the eternal knowledge of man, which Alchemy does own, to redesign
Incessantly the image of the world and its ornamental matrices.
For Alchemy, the objects must be "normal" and "abnormal" together. Their component of any kind
It brings together in quo give, in the real and in need of appia chin, their exception component removing them from the
Custom and connects them to the need for the unexpected, the accident, the difference, the transgression.
For Alchemy the design is a cycle: you, or what will happen, has already happened, and the individual fantasy, the basis of
The world's survival, can travel through you to every culture and place, as long as you work in a loving way.
For Alchemy, the prose, or it is delicate, does not impose, but it gently accompanies and accompanies the course of life and
Of the death of the people to whom that story, or likes.
