sorry but art is no brown, brown is no art

someone (v.b.) said to me that I am hard core (for my star on my skin)!

today my hard task was to describe a boy from the prospective of a little girl

a meaningful precedent in the history – significante precedente storico

special tx to P. for for having opened the door with love

today, we can Play…t o g e t h e r

today Ludiko meets  Valerio Berruti at his holy place

The universe of Valerio Berruti fascinated and chained  us…the  “children” who appear in their essential fragility lacking  any  protective  furnishing as could be the one of a toy as well……..leads you to  imagine  for  each of them a desirable playful object, the power of desire, of  possession,  of playing…elements that facilitate playful-relational patterns  and  relieve them from their solitudo… just as we recognized  it  and  as  it  came  upagain with “I can Fly, I can Play, t o g e t h e r”

il suo universo ci ha incantato ed incatenato…”bambini” che appaiono nella loro essenziale fragilità privi di ogni suppellettile protettiva quale anche un giocattolo potrebbe essere……..ti induce ad immaginare per ognuno di loro un oggetto ludico desiderabile, il potere del desiderio, del possesso, del gioco…elementi che agevolano dinamiche ludico relazionali a alleggeriscono la loro solitudo..proprio come poi ho abbiamo ritrovato e riproposto in “I can Fly, I can Play, t o g e t h e r”

While I am reading Blue by  Michel Pastoureau you can read here the updated Ludiko ID

“New things do not come  from the the use of intellect, new things come from the playin’ instict that belongs to our inner need. A creative mind plays with the things that loves.“

Playhouse project: I giocattoli non sono mai tutti neri, le case non sono mai tutte nere, la mia casa giocattolo è tutta nera…e viene in giro con me

Playhouse project: Toys are never all black, houses are never all black, my playhouse is all black…and she is moving with me.

I’m a washing glove. My name is Marley. I’m LOST in this new big space with a lot of strange things. There is a boy that is singing a song alone and a little girl that is speaking to me, but I don’t give confidence to strangers! What can I wash here? everything is so dirty!!!

we can Fly , we can Play, t o g e t h e r

next S.Valentine day Ludiko will meet  Valerio Berruti at his holy place..we can’t wait to fly and play t o g e t h e r

Abbiamo ammirato il suo lavoro, gli abbiamo scritto, credevamo non ci avesse mai risposto…poi incontriamo l’amica in comune Paola…e scopriamo che lui la risposta ce l’aveva prontamente inviata, ma noi non l’abbiamo mai ricevuta..e lui era stupito per la nostra mancata risposta  …chiarito l’equivoco telematico non ci resta che incontrarci..ma prima non abbiamo potuto trattenerci dal fare un instantaneo ludiko workshop a lui dedicato (vd noi foto sopra).

We had admired his works, we wrote to him, we had no reply….few days ago we met Paola, a mutual friend… we get to know that actually he promptly replied to us but as a matter of fact we had never receveid his reply..and he was even amazed we did not reply to him…. after the e-misunderstanding it’s time to meet each other….but before we could not resist from running a InstantLudikoWorkshop inspired to his work (see us in the photo above)

caro stefano come fai a non notare chi ti guarda ?? – dear stefano how can not you see who is watching at you?

Walking around in Nuremberg Toy Fair with the new P.T.P (Pinocchi Toys Prototype) we discovered strange attitudes and behaviours we previously ignored: Lumpwick, for example, is always trying to commit suicide but he always fails.

Portando a passeggio i nuovi prototipi dei Pinocchi, abbiamo scoperto delle loro caratteristiche che ignoravamo: Lucignolo, ad esempio, cerca sempre di suicidarsi, senza mai riuscirci.

What a noise inside me!!! I need absolutely detoxification!!

Non capisco perchè nel “fantastico mondo del giocattolo” le persone sono così orribili? tanto da cacciare una bimba che vuole solo dare un’ occhiata…non dovrebbero essere dolci e colorate e semplicemente fantastiche? la risposta è ovviamente NO. (business dicono)

How people of the toys world can be so horrible with a little girl like me? I just want to take a look ..They should be nice, friendly and playful  as I do… but business is not

I Said to him : “take your pinocchi & go around”

This should be a very basic mission …but actually he has not idea of what to do around with his Pinocchi…maybe tomorrow
