Guidi has said that Facciata or Facade refers to both the front of a building and the “face” of a sheet of paper, it is also the title of a series of photographs taken by him in the early 1970s of buildings, houses, small precarious constructions on the Romagna coast.

About

"Everything has a face. Everything has eyes. Everything takes a shape. Everything acts as a frame. Everything is a window. Everything shows you the world. Everything shows you itself. Everything reveals something.” (an extract of Ali Smith's writing for 'Facciate/Facades') 
 
Guido Guidi was born in Cesena, in 1941, and studied architecture in Venice at the beginning of the sixties. Influenced by Neorealist film and Conceptual art, he began exploring how people have altered the natural landscape of Italy. His work has been shown at the Venice Biennale, Centre Georges Pompidou, Guggenheim Museum, MAXXI Rome and most recently at the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris. 
 
This is Guido Guidi's second exhibition at Large Glass.
