F. Manara, C. Marini, Opera Celibe # and “Spoleto Contemporanea”, collective exhibition on artists living in Spoleto. Opening: Sat 7 Nov 2015, h 12.00
The Palazzo Collicola Visual Arts Winter Exhibitions open on Saturday 7 November at 12. The exhibitions will end on Sunday 22 May 2016.
Artistic director Gianluca Marziani chose Fausto Manara‘s “Sincronie”, Claudio Marini‘s “Fratelli di Sale”, the interactive audio installation “Deep Carpet” by Vincenzo Core at the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo and above all a collective exhibition titled “Spoleto contemporanea. Lo sapevate che la città è ricca di energie, idee e visioni?” (Did you know the city is so rich in energies, ideas and visions?) that aims at taking stock of present-day Spoleto, a look to the present to define the coordinates of what has been done in the last years by young and veteran artists, men and women, among those who have remained and those who have returned, including those from abroad who chose Spoleto to live in: American, European and also Italian artists, who came here for a while, for a long stay or forever. The Spoleto Contemporanea exhibition will be followed, on Friday 11th December at 17 in Palazzo Mauri, by a study day titled “CONTEMPORARY SPOLETO. Hypotheses for a Convention. Theses for a Dialogue” coordinated by Andrea Tomasini.
The other exhibitions include the artistic journey of psychiatrist Fausto Manara, author of a complex project between photography and electronic language. Through some forty works, you access his flooring digital universe, a parallel world in which technology becomes painting and confirms the conceptual value of technological tools. What hits you soon is the precious epidermic weaving of the works, and the classical originality of the aesthetic plant, an uncommon vision that mixes the key to the future with the archetypes of ancient memories.
“Fratelli di sale” by Claudio Marini “starts – clarifies Marziani – where you formulate the dimension of private grief in the visual epicentre in which Claudio remembers his late brother Giancarlo: the loss as the light tracing maps in tar black. The luminous areas look like sails or lungs, two forms that both need air, to inflate and live on. Wishing to share the weight of memory, the artist has put in leaflets with numbers related to personal matters, private moments that weld the collective brotherhood with a silent frequency of the Leopardian Infinite”.
At the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, composer Vincenzo Core has created an intereactive audio installation titled “Deep Carpet”. “Deep Carpet” is the second step of the cycle “Opera Celibe” freely adapted from the Duchampian concept of “macchina celibe” (unmarried machine), a cycle that aims at developing, among the frescoes at the former church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo, a research on sound and memory through a series of digital art installations, with contemporary tools and experimentations discussing with the history of the place.

Collettivo Cinetico – 10miniballetti

assistance: Carmine Pariseco
co-production: Le Vie dei Festival, CollettivO CineticO
resident company: Teatro Comunale di Ferrara
An anthology of dances balancing between geometry and swirl where the aerial element is the paradigm for a reflection on the boundaries of control.
Currents and storms, air fans and drones, birds and gran-jets become allegories of the relationship between choreography and dance in an investigation that bounces from the repetition to improvisation, from writing to interpretation.Among contortions and asphyxiating efforts it is triggered a respiratory exchange that mixes the volumes between body and space, audience and stage in a suspended and floating geography.

Dispensa Barzotti – Homologia
Special nomination: Premio Scenario 2015
by: Rocco Manfredi, Riccardo Reina, Alessandra Ventrella
with: Rocco Manfredi e Riccardo Reina
direction: Alessandra Ventrella
light design: Emiliano Curà
music and sound: Dario Andreoli
An eternal silence punctuated by habit. An old man, alone, in the vacuum, in constant drowsiness.
Something comes down from the attic and awakens this numb body.
Welcome to Homologia.
Homologia is both a «studio of man» and a «studio of what is identical».
A telescopic vision applied to human in the effort to produce careful analysis.
A big illusion.
An impossible birthday party animated by hundreds of abortive attempts.
March 6 @ 5.30 pm (CET, Central European time)
INC InNprogressCollective – toPRAY
choraography: Afshin Varjavandi
dancers: Luca Calderini, Mattia Maiotti, Jenny Mattaioli, Elia Pangaro.
sound design: Angelo Benedetti
light design: Fabio Galeotti
Project: La MaMa Umbria International
For everyone there is a moment in life when we learn to search within ourselves. toPRAY is a long and narrow passage to the human soul. We move through the symbols we have ascribed to what we cannot see, to give life a different value. They say that ‘we have a soul’. But what does it mean to ‘pray’? Perhaps our very doing is an act of worship: the contemporary man acts on the body to draw a worship. What about if the most sacred thing we possess is our imagination that allows us in the course of our life to discover our soul?
