PalazzoCollicola visual arts – opening of the winter exhibitions
Saturday, December 13 at h 14, opening of the winter exhibitions at Palazzo Collicola Visual Arts. Three new paths through contemporary art curated by director Gianluca Marziani. These are Croce Taravella with “Biologie”, Claudio Malacarne with “i sensi liquidi” and “Baculus” curated by Studio A’87. The exhibitions will continue until Sunday, March 1, 2015.
Claudio Malacarne and the liquid senses. The winter of Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive opens a “hot” window beyond the seasonal cold. An unexpected, Mediterranean look, son of the great Italian painting, catapults us into the sensation of the transparent sea, the clear and attractive water, floating between shades of green and blue. A visual digression that concerns an anomalous, rigorous path, unique for themes and narrative impetus, a winning countertrend that elaborates the complex nature of well-being, of optimism, of the gaze that chooses light instead of darkness.
Croce Taravella brings an exhibition of recent works to Spoleto and confirms the museum’s special attention to contemporary Italian painting. An exhibiting investigation wanted by director Marziani, that goes beyond the confines of media conformism and presents authors of strong aesthetic autonomy, children of beautiful personal stories that tell the Italian talent, the atavistic strength of the places of origin, the density of content with high social lymph.
A collective project that across a long Spoletan history of artistic interventions, managed with curatorial intuition by Franco Troiani, an artist who made of the shared project an ambitious work, probably his most paradigmatic and universal one. BACULUS is inspired by the sticks of the “Orti del Sole”, the Social Centre for the elderly, part of the Monumental Complex of San Carlo Borromeo in Spoleto. In these open places, in the former church of S. Carlo and at the Madonna del Pozzo di Porta Monterone, Spring and Summer were celebrated with the feasts and events of the Studio A ’87, almost thirty years of shared art.
