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.
The 2nd “Città di Spoleto” International Chess Tournament will take place at the San Nicolò Monumental Complex and the 1st FIDEACADEMY tournament (round robin valid for Grandmaster norm)
On the 2nd and 3rd of January, Palazzo Mauri will house the FIDE TRAINER seminar.

“Mezz’ora dopo la chiusura” returns on Friday 19 February 2016 at 18.00 with a meeting on Spoleto Contemporanea, the exhibition that showcases local talents and ideas.
The theme of the meeting in Palazzo Collicola will be Maps and Traces – visual itineraries inside and outside the Palace.
The maps show routes in unexplored territories. Each map is a travelogue overlapping other trips, highlighting departures, arrivals and possible losses.
The map is the paper that you unfold when you stop; the question “where am I” coincides with the break and the resumption. Each time such question is spoken, you’re asking yourself about the contemporary.
The exhibition “Spoleto Contemporanea” is PALAZZO COLLICOLA ARTI VISIVE taking stock of the situation on contemporary Spoleto, disclosing a city sometimes hidden, yet rich in talents and ideas, of people that make projects and travel.
Curated by Gianluca Marziani, Aurora Roscini Vitali and Davide Silvioli, the exhibition has been extended till 22 May.
The evening continues at the Caffè Collicola with a tasting of typical products. The event is in collaboration with Con Spoleto – Consorzio Albergatori di Spoleto.
Partecipation fee: Free
Tasting € 5,00

Reservation is recommended within 13:00 of Friday 19 Feb.
