The decoration of these reception spaces for groups and students has been designed by Leonardo Sonnoli with Irene Bacchi.
In the year 2009 Jean-Jacques Aillagon, the president of the Château de Versailles, got started the project to renovate the rooms of the two, so called, Ailes des Ministres (north and south). The new spaces were designed as reception of the visitors (the south wing) and of the groups and students (the north wing).
Leonardo Sonnoli was asked to design a visual entertainment. Now, after two years and three different projects, the work made with Irene Bacchi is arrived at the end.
The installation tells the history of the castle through the interpretation of its icons:
the kings’ portraits, from Louis XIII to Louis Philippe, the queens, the typography -the famous Roman du Roi and its dveloping- and the symbols of the power, the costumes of court and the paintings collected by Louis XIV.
The work is painted on the wall or put on with wallpapers: both are quotations of the frescos and wallpapers decorating the famous rooms of the Versailles palace.
Here few pictures of the south wing. In a next post the pictures of the north wing.
From the 18th od November 2011, at the Biblioteca Gambalunga in Rimini, three artist show an installation as dialogue between their works and the antique books of the library. The venue is the library’s antique rooms. Leonardo Sonnoli with Irene Bacchi designed an extremely low budget catalogue collecting in a numbered (300 copies) black box all the 60 unbounded pages with textes and pictures of the exhibition. The old archive style box is filled with an interpretation of the fragility of our digital library by Sonnoli and Bacchi: a glued 3.5″ floppy disk on the back of its xerox portrait. The boxes walls installed in the rooms is designed to be removed by the visitors.
