Description:
This project series documents Pettena's installation entitled "Grazia & Giustizia", named after the Ministry of Justice in Italy. This project is the third of a series of three installations created in 1968 which consisted of large three-dimensional letters, forming words, and made purposely of perishable materials. The "Grazia & Giustizia" was created and constructed in the context of the 6th Festival of Avant-Garde Music in Palermo, in 1968. Unlike the first two installations in this series, this one was destroyed intentionally and was more of a performance as each cardboard letter was taken and thrown in the sea after a funeral procession accompanied by music played by the group MEV (Musica Elettronica Viva). The installation was re-created in 2012, this time in Civitella del Tronto, at "a great fort dating from the 16th century, which was not only the dominant architectural feature in that context but in particular the place where 'justice' used to be dispensed (or not)." [1] The project series contains photographs of the procession and of the letters once in the sea, and two drawings, including one showing the letters floating in the water. The project series also contains photographs showing the installation at the fort of Civitella del Tronto in 2012 and project descriptions in English and Italian.

Description:
This project series documents the "Babele" Tavolo, a table design by Pettena in 1967 and produced in 1968 by Gufram, an Italian seat and furniture manufacturer based in Barolo. "A sculpture that has become a stand for objects: it consists of a tree (with a marble base and metal trunk) whose leaf-shelves in lacquered wood can be placed in any position." [1] The table was designed in the context of designing furnishings for Pettena's studio-home in Florence. The project series contains a sketch showing different configurations of the table and its components, drawings, photographs and project descriptions in Italian and in English.
