Here is Edoardo Tresoldi's latest work: the colonnade on the Reggio Calabria waterfront

Opera, the new installation by Edoardo Tresoldi (Cambiago, 1987), the artist famous for his metal mesh creations, was inaugurated yesterday. Opera is a colonnade composed of 46 metal wire columns reaching eight meters in height and was installed on the Falcomatà waterfront in Reggio Calabria: it was commissioned by the Municipality and the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria. During the inauguration, the work was narrated by a sound installation by musician and composer Teho Teardo and poetic forays by poet and writer Franco Arminio, with poems by Lara Chiellino, a performance by Daniel Cundari with Jo Di Nardo and Francesco Speciale, and live performances by Guido Maria Grillo with Francesco Loccisano and Fabio Macagnino and Livio and Manfredi.

Opera, the artist’s staff let us know, was created to celebrate the contemplative relationship between place and human being through classical architectural language and the transparency of Absent Matter, expressed through wire mesh. The open architecture (the 46 columns are located within a 2,500-square-meter park) will offer, reads a note, “a new monument that can be traversed and is fully usable by citizens and visitors. The installation fits within one of Europe’s largest public spaces and is proposed as a new landmark of the area.”
