The name Flu-on contains fluorescence, influence and impulse. Fluorescent colours are those of the paintings, being influenced by other people's creative paths is the wish, the attempt is to switch on new creative paths, to induce curiosity.
Flu-on is the place where Andy works and creates, a completely renovated and recontextualized part of a former textile factory in Monza.
The revitalized suburban area is linked to the life paths in which the creative mechanisms can evolve. It's Andy's base camp, a real core where he can develop his work, where all external stimulations come together and from which he eventually exports. It's a transit place where people find their space and are allowed to develop their creativity and put it into practice.
This workshop is always in progress and it changes depending on different needs.
Andy and Faber, a necessary multitasking character of Flu-on, have the clear intention to make it remain a work in progress, always changing, never finished.
Flu-on is constituted by a welcome area, a music room where soundtracks, records and musical selections come to life, a storehouse and a spacious workroom that can become a workshop, a painting zone or an exhibition space.
A large area, inspired by Lodolandia, Marco Lodola's studio in Pavia, amplifies creativity and encourages experimentation. Giving people a big space means giving them the possibility to realize a creative mechanism that would otherwise remain unexpressed. Flu-on is based on collaboration, the other influences, it amplifies, it completes.
Creation is a poetic moment, it leaves objects you can play with. Andy loves to play and the play is everywhere, playing means trying, testing oneself, walking different paths, having fun.
