<div>hallo I'm Stefano Pilato – Livorno 1965</div><div>I live and work in Tuscany in the field of visual arts. Since 1987 I have been working freelance in the advertising profession, creating projects for public and private commissions. Since 1993 I have developed the Fresh Fish artistic production. Collecting everything anywhere especially wood found on the beaches while on a stroll. I seek with self-denial and irony full of graphic-pictorial experiences, to give life to work that often portrays marine creatures. My assemblages are filled with objects that have already lived that are regaining lost dignity after their primary use, exalting in their hidden aesthetics by enhancing it in the assembling of a deep-sea fish or a white whale. Always with the same principle of recycling, I also create installations, sculptures, lamps, mirrors, objects and more. For some years, as well as participating in the activities of various local art associations,&nbsp; I have collaborated with artists in the implementation of urban-scale installations that are assemblies of discarded objects. My work is made of research, intuition where sometimes instinctiveness prevails and sometimes the rationality inherent to my designer experience. Everything, however, evolves into the pleasure of manual work, rich in extemporaneous solutions but also of the acquired method, constantly seeking new stimuli from the point view of an exhibition: art galleries, museums, bookstores, restaurants and sometimes unlikely locations, but always feeling the importance of all the environments contaminated by my works. Professional experiences are basically moments of contact and exchange for me, with the people I care about more than anything else. From this point of view, I have been collaborating, in various forms, with the Department of Mental Health of the Local Healthcare Authority in Livorno, more specifically with the Blue Camel Social Cooperative for which I have conducted, among other things, a visual communication laboratory for psychiatric patients, promoting events, internships and training workshops on marginal art.</div>

<div>Uovo alla Pop is a cultural space of contemporary art focused on street-art. Container of exhibitions, start-ups of experiential tours, street art festivals, training and social workshops. Despite the pandemic situation, 2020 was a year full of events, tourism, wall paintings, benefit auctions, social projects, virtual exhibitions including big names of the arts background. Uovo alla Pop has been founded in 2017 after the winning of an announcement proposed by Region Tuscany, supported by the town council with the social aim of valorizing Piazza Garibaldi,&nbsp; a local square center of hot issues. Uovo alla pop was born thanks to the idea of a collective of four women&nbsp; always active in the art sector: Valeria Aretusi, Viola Barbara, Libera Capezzone, Giulia Bernini, they chose the egg as en elected symbol. The gallery also hosts an architecture, design, art co-working space&nbsp; and a trendy gadget shop. Uovo alla Pop focuses its attention on Livorno, a city that has recently opened its eyes to street art: an impactful, social, welcoming and generous art that transforms the streets and the way to live and look at them. In Livorno its career has just started hopefully passing all boundaries and moving around the world.</div>
