Massimo Biagi (Marliana, 1949 – )
Massimo Biagi, known as Miradario, applies the signs of his “graphicism” to paper, ceramics, and wood, all of which are represented in the Gori Collection, starting with the work Meteorite from 1979. He is also active as a promoter of exploratory meetings into themes dealing with making art today, a topic he shares with multiple generations of the Gori family. His events often cross into the realm of performance. Some years ago, in collaboration with the Pistoia-based photographer Carlo Chiavacci, he designed an original chair for the project The Collector’s Armchair, which he used to create portraits of a selected group of collectors, including Giuliano Gori. This friend of Celle was also present in 2010 for the Convivio, the symposium banquet held at the first Vannucci Gallery in Pistoia where the dining table was completely laid with Miradario art pieces; the topic that evening was to discuss art “as a bridge between cultural motifs and the needs of society.”
