Radici Pietro Industries & Brands S.p.A. is a partner of the new exhibition That Person’s Heaven by Matt Mullican, on view from 14 November 2025 to 18 January 2026 at Palazzo della Ragione in Bergamo. Curated by Stefano Raimondi and produced by The Blank Contemporary Art, the exhibition marks the return to Italy of one of the most important international contemporary artists and opens the 15th edition of the ArtDate Festival.
Radici and Bloom Back for “That Person’s Heaven” by Matt Mullican: when art and industry meet in the name of sustainability
Through a language made of symbols, colours, and visual codes, Mullican gives shape to a universe where mind and matter intertwine, creating a system of signs that interprets every aspect of human experience.
The work, conceived specifically for the spaces of Palazzo della Ragione, unfolds as a monumental 16×16-metre grid composed of thirty-two works of equal size — half painted in black and white, half in red — transforming the environment into an immersive perceptual field.
Silence plays a central role in Mullican’s artistic practice: not as absence, but as a presence capable of amplifying the inner dimension of experience and fostering a deeper listening to oneself and the work. Within this suspended space, images, symbols, and unconscious memories emerge, composing a mental landscape in constant evolution.
The installation is created in collaboration with Aquafil S.p.A. and Radici Pietro Industries & Brands S.p.A., two Italian excellences united by a shared vision of innovation and sustainability.
In this context, Radici brings its expertise in sustainable textile flooring to the world of art, guided by a philosophy centred on circularity and the value of materials.
An expression of this approach is Bloom Back, the single-component carpet made of regenerated and regenerable polyamide 6, a symbol of design that merges aesthetics, technology, and environmental responsibility.
The collaboration with Mullican embodies a true dialogue between art and industry, thought and matter, where the artist’s symbolic vision meets Radici’s commitment to turning sustainability into a shared language.
Deeply rooted in the Bergamo area and the textile culture of the Seriana Valley, Radici reaffirms its commitment to promoting projects that celebrate cross-disciplinary exchange, responsible innovation, and beauty as a form of knowledge and awareness.
