LABORATORIO by Fausto Gilberti
Fausto Gilberti and the young artists from the Silvaplana School
The exhibition features works by children from Silvaplana that were created during workshops with the Italian artist Fausto Gilberti at the local school. Drawing on his illustrated books and inspired by his artistic visual language, the children developed their own works. In the exhibition, these works engage in a lively dialogue with selected original works by the artist.
