CV & studio detailsBenedetta Pompili is a social designer interested in the cultural and political meanings behind the craftsmanship of ceramics. By composing each clay body or glaze from scratch, each project aims at delineating ways of coping with tradition and its ecosystem. 

Urban and industrial remnants costantly recur in the work. Their incorporation becomes a tool to investigate on their ambiguous status, circulation and alternative possibilities to diminish the impact of the industry.

At the core of her practice lies an interest in daily repeated gestures and in process as a form of knowledge. This extends beyond objects into the design of shared workspaces. They are intendend as environments that support exchange and collaboration

              FU Review Berlin (DE) is an independent literary journal. As with each issue of the journal, a main theme is assigned, representing the core of inspiration for the selected artists.

                 The new editorial design of the journal has been curated in collaboration with Eleonora Toniolo and with the support of the editors in chief since 2019. The design was thought to smoothen out the readers’ experience of the journal, that had been abruptly changed multiple times in the previous issues.

              The typographic choices and the grid are designed for a pleasurable and airy reading with a sensitivity to detail. Each issue is unique, as the design is lightly adapted to the temporary main theme and the practice of the visual artist, changing as well for each edition.
