ABOUT

Maschi Fontana is an artistic duo consisting of Tom Mùller and Jean-Thomas Vannotti. Its name derives from the artists' grandmothers' maiden names - (Laura) Maschi and (Daisy) Fontana. Mùller who now lives in Perth, Australia and Vannotti in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, studied together in the early nineties and with Lionel Wyss formed the graffiti collective known as 296 (1990-96). Maschi Fontana is an optimistic strategy intended to facilitate a fuller participation in the flow of global ideas and opportunities by two artists who live away from major art centres.

Locating their practice within a neo-mystic futurist platform, Maschi Fontana aims to push the boundaries of their cross-hemisphere collaboration into obscure and uncharted terrain.
