CRUDOSTUDIO is a duo formed by Italian artists Alice Palamenghi and Giuliano Tarlao

CRUDO or crudo: cru|do / ‘krudo / IPA: [ˈkruːdo] in Italian ~ raw (common sense), uncooked; kryos ~ frost, too cold for the fire. It’s related to a state of matter: crudo ~ raw as something has not been processed. Raw likewise is something uncooked, or insufficiently subjected to the action of fire to change its state.

crudo may be understood also as raw material. ∼ cruːdo’studjio ~ cruːdo’stùdio, refers to the action, to the labour on a mass, on a raw entity not yet processed. CRUDOSTUDIO thinks about the limits and the possibilities of the technologies.

Ⓐ crudostudio is a vision and a project between graphic design and art-practices research; Ⓑ crudostudio is about the contemporary scenario of which we are inhabitants; Ⓒ crudostudio is about the digital and non-digital matter; Ⓓ crudostudio is about the virtual non-virtual environment and the space in between; Ⓔ crudostudio is about the inframince ~ infra-thin / infra-slim;

Ⓕ crudostudio is the consequent work on that mass-matter-material.
