Altai nasce dalla passione e dalla ricerca di Raffaele ed Elisa Carrieri. Nel 1997 inaugurano la prima galleria a Milano e mostrano agli occhi increduli dei milanesi, tra cui Ettore Sottsass, Maddalena De Padova e Vico Magistretti, i primi tappeti sahariani mai visti in Europa, seguiti da feltri centro asiatici e kilim curdi.

L’occhio esperto dei Carrieri riconosce con grande anticipo pezzi unici e primordiali, umili e raffinatissimi: capolavori calpestati e tramandati per millenni, gli ultimi. Trame uniche, a terra o sospese, che definiscono gli spazi e conquistano architetti, designer, collezionisti d’arte.

Altai oggi ospita venti collezioni uniche al mondo. Tessili essenziali, astratti e intrisi di umanità, di storia e di cultura. Stuoie che separano cielo e terra. Arazzi, kilim e tappeti che narrano incontri antichi di secoli, sole e feste solenni. E sono tutti qui. Solo qui. Altai è punto di riferimento per l’arte tessile primitiva.

Frutto di un esame attento e intransigente, le collezioni Altai sono le uniche e le ultime collezioni al mondo di tappeti primitivi di origine nomadica, un’eredità umana di enorme importanza custodita, protetta e diffusa dalla passione di Raffaele ed Elisa.

PRIX - PRIX (Random Records)

Continuing in their efforts to present the work of the late Brian Tennessee Claflin, the Brian Tennessee Claflin Foundation, in conjunction with Random Records, is proud to present the first release from Brian’s musical alter ego, PRIX. Brian Tennessee Claflin was a radical and fiery figure who worked on the intersecting fringes of Berlin’s art and nightlife scenes since he moved there in 2006 up until his tragic death in 2014 at the age of 33. He ran the notorious Sunday soirée PORK at Ficken3000, and left behind a small but very powerful body of art. Working inter-disciplinarily in the fields of performance, video, photography, DJ’ing, painting, and writing, Claflin was himself a living work of art who managed to develop a cult following of friends, family, and fans in a brief but intense period of frenetic activity. Between 2009 and 2013, Brian and his friend, the American-cum-Berlin musician and producer Snax, produced music and sound collages. All these productions met somewhere at the intersection of dance, voodoo, bitchiness, and punk and several were used for Brian’s performance pieces. The Brian Tennessee Claflin Foundation and Snax’s Random Records are very proud to finally release two tracks from these sessions, as well as remixes, digitally and as a vinyl EP in a limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies. The first track showcased on the PRIX EP, entitled “Don’t Get All Upset”, addresses the politics and hypocrisy Brian constantly confronted working in the world of nightlife. Taken directly from his experiences as promoter of the notorious PORK party at Ficken3000, Prix lambastes anyone who dares to challenge her while Snax supports it all with a tense and strutting funk. B-side “Spritz It” is nothing less than an electro monster from the underground. Just how much damage, pleasurable and otherwise, can one inflict on the erogenous zones? Prix’s gender fluid party anthem shows one the way. Remixes come courtesy of artists who knew and loved Brian personally: Janus party stalwart Lotic brings his unique sound of vogue horror to “Don’t Get All Upset”. Lotic highlights the vitriolic lyrical delivery, punctuating it with terror house, and redefining the word “slay”. Filmmaker Bruce LaBruce takes another turn as remixer, teaming up with international duo MADLICK (who had their live debut at PORK). Together they turn the beat around on “Spritz It”, offering up disco fever and another shade of ecstasy. For DJs, an instrumental version of “Upset” is featured, as well as the “Spritzapella”, which must be heard to believed. The limited edition vinyl release is pressed on translucent yellow vinyl and is enclosed in hand-numbered covers designed by Brian’s friend and collaborator Mario Dzurila. The first 200 covers are hand painted and every copy comes with free download codes for digital. All sale proceeds go to the Brian Tennessee Claflin Foundation, which aims to maintain and promote Brian’s artistic legacy. The vinyl release was launched in Berlin at a special exhibition on the eve of Brian’s birthday, 1 December, at Monster Ronson’s Ichiban Karaoke. DJ sets came courtesy of Bruce LaBruce, Madlick, Snax plus a live performance by Crystal D. Brian Tennessee Claflin was born in Boise, Idaho, in the United States of America, in 1980. He studied photography, studio art, and art history at Hunter College (City University of New York) and BTK in Berlin, where he resided from 2006 until his death in 2014. He collaborated with multimedia artist Christophe Chemin, photographer & designer Mario Dzurila, musician Snax, painter Pietro Spirito, and art/porn filmmaker Bruce LaBruce, among others. His work has been performed and exhibited at HAU Theater, STYX Projects, Lucas Carrieri Gallery, and the Black Mold Gallery in Chicago. For seven years, Claflin curated the weekly avant-garde Sunday night performance and dance party PORK, as well as the transgressive poetry and spoken word anti-art salon and performance/installation night SLUM, both of which he initiated along with writer Travis Jeppesen. Snax, aka Paul Bonomo, is an American born musician, performer and DJ. Through his long and varied career, he founded queer art punk band Fagbash and disco pop group Captain Comatose. He has released several solo albums and singles and collaborated with artists such as Jamie Lidell, Peaches, and Scissor Sisters. The PRIX EP is released on his label, Random Records.

Fierceness!” Dickey Doo (Get Up Recordings) – “Cute!” Hard Ton (Toy Tonics) – “”Great EP, Spritz it got me shaking my ass.

Romeo Gigli per Altai

Otto tappeti in seta selvaggia disegnati da Romeo Gigli per Altai in edizione limitata firmati e numerati .  

Eight wild silk rugs designed by Romeo Gigli for Altai - Limited editions signed and numbered

Per la prima volta, con l’eccezione dei meravigliosi kilim disegnati per Christopher Farr a Londra nel ’92 (oggi ricercatissimi dai collezionisti), Romeo Gigli firma 8 tappeti maestosi, fino a 500 x 400 cm, in tiratura limitatissima, eseguiti nel celeberrimo Atelier Altai in Uzbekistan secondo tecniche millenarie di annodatura a mano.   

 “Tutti sanno che Romeo è genio, quello vero. Io l’ho sempre saputo. Ed ho giocato d’azzardo quando gli ho chiesto di disegnare 8 grandi tappeti in seta selvaggia: la materia assoluta, con il maestro dei maestri.Solo lui poteva avvicinare colori di una intensità straordinaria, senza che questi potessero mai dirsi azzardati. Creare tappeti che sono quanto di più contemporaneo si possa pensare, ma nel contempo eterni.” 

Così Raffaele Carrieri, l’anima di Altai, descrive la genesi di questo progetto, Una chicca: per evitare falsificazioni verrà inserito, fra i 1.260.000 nodi presenti in media su ogni tappeto, un nodo in platino la cui posizione sarà resa nota solo agli acquirenti, e depositata presso notaio. Una precauzione forse inutile, visti l’incredibile difficoltà tecnica della realizzazione, e la rarità della seta selvaggia uzbeca, da 2.000 anni considerata la migliore al mondo, ormai reperibile solo nelle vallate più remote della regione centro- asiatica.Solo Altai, infatti, ha accesso a queste arcaiche manualità e materie, grazie alla ventennale frequentazione di quelle regioni alla ricerca degli ultimi tappeti nomadici antichi. Ricerche grazie alle quali può vantare le 16 maggiori collezioni, di tappeti primitivi inusuali, presenti oggi al mondo.

Altai è uno spazio che racconta storie eterne di viaggi, di spostamenti, di spazi aperti, di culture in moto che si scaldano, dormono, si decorano e si proteggono con questi tessuti. Primitivi e contemporanei, essenziali ed astratti, intrisi di umanità, di storia e di cultura. Altai è una galleria d’arte.

Altai is a space that tells endless stories of journeys, migrations, open spaces and people in movements who are warmed, cradled, dressed up and protected by these textiles. At once primitive and contemporary, essential and abstract, they are drenched in humanity, history and culture. Altai is an art gallery
