Liturgical objects
The European scenario of the production
The exhibition displays a unique panorama of liturgical objects, selected between the european production, with the objective of highlighting the influence of postcolonial tendencies among the current artistic work of different countries.
Koiné shows Liturgical Objects that seek for a dialogue with modernity, with its multiple incentives, its many languages and means of expression, throughout an original aesthetic research.
Together with artists and studios, some producers that distinguish themselves for research, innovation (in materials and in shapes) and harmony with the Council’s precepts - Nobility, Simplicity and Beauty - are displaying their works.
EUCARISTICAL PLIERS
Considering the particular historical moment we’re living, in which we have to keep the distance even during the celebrations and especially during the Eucharist, we believed really important to insert an additional announcement of selection for Eucaristical Pliers.

Today he collaborates with the studio Ceron&Ceron in Castelfranco Veneto, where he’s always had the opportunity to confront important projects, starting from the concept, through project management activities, to the final creation of the architectural work or of the design object.
He’s always been passionate about freehand drawing, art and nature and in his freetime he re-elaborates his passions with personality, getting new sparks for new forms of expression, always free from any stylistic requirement.
