Why ‘Socle du Monde‘?

— The Socle du Monde Art Festival is in large part a tribute to the seminal and revolutionary modern conceptual artist, Piero Manzoni, who during his time inspired both wonder and scorn with his abstract and at times shocking works. As one of the more well defined and inspiring artists within the Arte Povera art movement who truly encompasses the concept of socle du monde as a celebration of the world and its multifariousness, Manzoni now stands as a figurehead for the Socle du Monde Art Festival, aptly named after one of his most iconic works.
