PIPERIC TIMELINE
Founded on the model of the Piper Club in Rome, the Piper Pluriclub in Turin required the development of a program of coordinated image and communication that would be original and different. This art direction project was assigned to Clino Castelli in 1965.
The Piperic Timeline, an installation that extends across a wall with a length of over seven meters and a height of almost three, subdivided into two parallel bands split into three years, is composed for the most part by ephemera and artworks created by Castelli, as well as works by other artists like Piero Gilardi and Anne-Marie Sauzeau, with photographs by Gianni Berengo-Gardin and Toni Nicolini.
The items in the upper band represent artistic and performative events that took place at the Piper Pluriclub disco in Turin, while the lower band features different settings that document other emerging phenomena that took place in Italy in the same period, such as the rise of Italian design and the birth of fashion design.
