ROBOCOOP
ROBOCOOP is an experimental and research art duo led by Luca Pozzati and Lorenzo Zandri with a background in architecture based between Rome and London. Specializing in urban art, they create fictional and urban scenarios through collages, installations, engravings, drawings, and photomontages.
Since 2012, ROBOCOOP has participated in various art events, festivals, and residencies, and has collaborated with MAXXI, IED, Outdoor Festival, BoCS Art, Open House Rome, and LUISS University. In 2017, they held their first solo exhibition, ‘INNESTI / Graftings’, later showcased at Milano Design Week/Fuorisalone. In 2018, TWF recognized them as one of Italy's top emerging creatives, and they participated in the “Unfolding Pavilion 2018” at the Biennale di Venezia.
In 2020, they completed the ‘Loggia Aldobrandini’ installation with support from Roma Capitale, and presented ‘Quadrature’ at Divario, inspired by the 16th-century Quadraturis genre. In 2022, they led a workshop at IED, resulting in a site-specific installation at MAXXI titled ‘Roma Tropicale.’ Between 2021 and 2023, ROBOCOOP completed two large-scale installations for the Sovrintendenza Speciale di Roma: ‘Scenografia di Frammenti’ and ‘BassoRilievo’, both 1:1 scale artworks on the scaffoldings of construction sites at Piazza Cavalieri di Malta and Palazzo Mattei.
Their works have been frequently published in architectural and art magazines such as Dezeen, Divisare, Artribune, and TIME, and have been successfully exhibited throughout Europe, both in the streets and in galleries. / @_robocoop
