Invited for the Swiss Art Awards, Studiolo [It.: ‘little study’] was an artistic research on material, form and a classic room typology through furan sand. The material, typically used as a molding agent for casting, was donated by the Kunstgiesserei St Gallen, giving the opportunity to research the applications of this material outside its normal function in the way of: creasing, shaving, smearing, tearing, chipping, splitting, cutting, dropping, removing, simplifying, splash, curving, inlaying, impressing, spreading, hanging, collecting, layering, heaping, gathering, scattering, arranging, covering, wrapping, binding, joining, bonding and marking. With these actions, 13T of furan sand was co-opted to play out the formal limits of a new Studiolo typology.
