Hi Ryan,

I think that your note on Gilardi's retrospective at the Castello di Rivoli (which I found in your Sandbox) was worth keeping. Would you consider including it in the current page on the artist? My only comment is to edit Turin Museum of Contemporary Art (the show was held at the Castello di Rivoli, to be precise) and include a reference. This could be a handy one http://www.huffingtonpost.com/simona-lodi/piero-gilardi-_b_1518393.html

I am interested in your edit on Gilardi's participation on what he called "Civil Charity". You might develop. You need to include a reference.

"Gilardi eventually returned to the art scene in the early 1980’s to prepare for a retrospectives at Galleria Toselli in Milan and the Palazzo dei Diamanti, Ferrara where he exhibited new Nature Carpet works along with new interactive instillations that examined virtual reality along with what has been termed “early relational” work." I find this great, but you need to include a citation.

Other students did create a page for Gilardi and have been editing it. You could insert some of your text (without being redundant) in the existing page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PollonApollo (talk • contribs) 15:20, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Ryan, here are some comments/questions based on your sandbox on Gilardi. Overall, you include a lot of valuable information and I think it was a good idea to focus particularly on his Nature Carpets. However, there are a couple of minor grammatical errors and though this sandbox page is extremely informative and factual, I think it lacks some of your interpretation and as I mention below, a very brief contextualization of the artist's work and ideologies within the larger context of Arte Povera but also Italy in the 1960s and 1970s:

BIO (1) "Among these, work from the series Nature Carpets, brought him a large amount of attention within the commercial art world in the mid 60’s" - This is a bit nitpicky but 60's should be written out as 1960's (2) When you refer to the Italian art movement Arte Povera, it would be helpful to have even a general date bracket for when the movement was largely occurring

WORK (1) "Nature Carpets were to appeal to the everyday consumer by democratizing the status of art"- Can you bridge this intention to the formal qualities of the work? In other words, how did Gilardi try to express this concept through the rugs? (2) It is great that you chose to include information about what Gilardi did during the hiatus from his artistic career, which you appropriately connect to the way these activities influence his theories and art later on. You might how some of these ideas might have come into contact with or contributed to political and theoretical talk at the time. Also, add some specific information such as where these activities took place or what kind of predominant and overall ideas he was developing at the time.
