Thayaht. Un Futurista Eccentrico

Sculture, Progetti, Memorie

testi critici di Daniela Fonti, Carla Cerutti ed un contributo di Elisabetta Seeber

Manfredi Edizioni,  Cesena 2017; cartonato, pp. 216, ill. b/n e col.

Roma, Galleria Russo, 9 febbraio - 2 marzo 2017.

euro 30,00

Thayat, al secolo Ernesto Michahelles, è stato un artista eclettico ed innovatore, uno sperimentatore antesignano di nuove sensibilità artistiche. La mostra dal titolo “Thayaht, un futurista eccentrico. Sculture, progetti, memorie”, ospitata alla Galleria Russo di Roma, è un omaggio a questo importante esponente del movimento futurista.

Presentata in anteprima ad ArteFiera Bologna dal 27 al 30 gennaio 2017, l’esposizione testimonia la ricchezza poliedrica dell’itinerario creativo di questo “artista globale”, che si muove tra gusto Decó e avanguardia futurista, grazie alla presenza di circa duecento opere tra sculture, disegni e dipinti che vanno dal 1913 al 1940.

In particolare sarà possibile ammirare in mostra il disegno a inchiostro e acquerello su carta che riproduce la “tuta”, inventata da Thayaht nel 1919 insieme al fratello Ruggero Alfredo Michahelles, in arte Ram, ispirandosi ai concetti di funzionalità espressi da Balla. La tuta, ideata come modello a T, a linee rette, in canapa colorata o cotone grezzo, era concepita come abito universale tout-court, destinata a tutti senza distinzioni sociali ed è l’emblema del percorso artistico di Thayaht improntato a collegare sempre estetica e funzione, eleganza ed economia.

L’esposizione ospita anche alcune delle sue più celebri sculture, come la Bautta, il Violinista, la Sentinella, il Flautista, il Tennista, i Pesci, insieme allo scenografico Tuffo, realizzato per la Biennale di Venezia del 1932.

La mostra, che nella varietà di opere esposte ricostruisce la personalità eccentrica e complessa di Thayaht, è corredata da un catalogo a colori edito da Manfredi Edizioni (Cesena) con testi critici di Daniela Fonti, Carla Cerutti ed un contributo di Elisabetta Seeber.

Louise Nevelson I collage

a cura di Bruno Corà

Skira , Milano 2016,  104 pagine , 94 Illustrazioni a colori

Fondazione Marconi, Milano 12 maggio – 22 luglio 2016

euro 28,00

Tornare a riflettere sull’opera di Louise Nevelson significa impegnare il pensiero su diversi fronti; l’artista infatti è di quelle che consentono di prendere lentamente coscienza di aspetti relativi al destino individuale, al caso, alla tenacia delle ambizioni, all’imprevedibile fluire degli eventi, alle scelte difficili, all’amore per un’idea non separabile dall’amore per sé, alla condizione femminile di oggi e di ieri, alla salute fisica, e psichica, agli affetti personali, agli incontri determinanti per quanto imprevisti, alle tradizioni proprie e altrui, all’arte di saper governare tutto ciò e ancora più tra molte avversità e ancor prima della superficie di una tela, del volume di pochi oggetti recuperati dall’abbandono o dell’impiego di un colore.

Non si esaurisce infatti, anzi cresce con la frequentazione delle sue opere, l’interesse per questa artista che mentre non si fa scrupolo di dichiarare la sua condizione di donna, sottoposta a tutte le difficoltà e i disagi attraversati e prevedibili, ne rivendica lo stato di sensibilità e di diversità in senso identitario e di potenzialità artistica. Un’osservazione dell’attività della Nevelson, dedicata in particolare alla tecnica del collage, rivela e sottolinea i principi seguiti nel regolare l’impaginazione degli elementi depositati sui supporti e l’attitudine congeniale ma anche fortemente esercitata dell’“aver cura” dei rapporti morfologici, cromatici e poetici, già conquistati nel lungo tirocinio con la scultura e ora portati al grado della felicità spontanea del gesto compositivo nel collage. Bruno Corà

A distanza di 43 anni dalla prima esposizione di Louise Nevelson a Milano, questa monografia che accompagna la mostra alla Fondazione Marconi presenta una selezione di collage realizzati dell’artista a partire dal 1955 fino agli ultimi anni Ottanta. Protagonista del rinnovamento della scultura nel XX secolo e delle sue trasformazioni, Louise Nevelson diceva parlando di sé e del suo lavoro: “Adoro mettere insieme le cose”. Figura emblematica dell’arte nel Novecento, Louise Nevelson, si è distinta nel panorama artistico internazionale per la sua ricerca di un linguaggio universale.

euro 70,00

The "Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye" collection evokes a city, region or country through the eye of a fashion photographer.

Unfolding

Contemporary Indian Textiles

Maggie Baxter

Niyogi Books, New Delhi 2015, 

euro 85,50

'Unfolding' is a timely and vital examination of how the rich and diverse textile craft traditions of India have been adopted/adapted in the 21st century. The author looks at 'new interpretations made within the current cultural landscape by designers who dare to take steps into the unknown'. Traditional techniques and motifs are reworked in atypical, up-to-date ways, creating a fresh new visual language that is still identifiably Indian.

Separate chapters examine the work of 23 designers and artists in terms of craft revival, surface treatment, texture, minimalism and narrative. Raw Mango, for example, glories in the drenched colour of the cones of pure colour pigments found in Indian markets creating saris of extreme colour that are both minimalist and overpoweringly intense, while bai lou reposition the delicate motifs of Bengali jamdani, scaling them up into bold, oversized, geometric shapes. In Kutch, architect and designer Kirit Dave deconstructed the rigidly arithmetic system of ikat into deliberate fracture and dissonance, whereas for Ravage disharmony is achieved by piercing, fraying and embellishing fabrics to make highly theatrical garments that simultaneously allude to bazaar kitsch and Punk subculture. Popular culture is celebrated with Play Clan's madcap digital prints and hand embroideries and Goodearth's unashamedly romantic delving into Bollywood, history and legends.

The last chapter looks at the small but growing number of Indian artists such as Mithu Sen, Manisha Parekh and Parul Thacker for whom fibre and fabric are an integral part of their studio and gallery practice.

Roma Rotunda Jakob Straub

Text(s) by Mark Gisbourne, graphic design by Jakob Straub

Hatje Cantz Verlag , 2015, 172pages,  deutsch / english, Leporello (18 Meter)

euro 60,00

Roman dome architecture at the interface between art and design

For many years now, Jakob Straub (*1975 in Berlin) has been taking photographs of the interiors of domes in churches and profane buildings in Rome using an analog medium-format camera. In this long-term project, the graphic designer and photographer is not concerned with an exhaustive documentation of, for instance, the numerous churches in the city. Rather, what he is interested in is the original idea behind the design of the structures—and thus by means of a specially developed photographic technique he reduces the architecture to its basic form and brings it back to the drawing board, so to speak. In his selection of motifs, because he does not focus on their art-historical relevance his paths often lead him to structures off the beaten track that are not listed in any travel guide. The publication presents thirty-six sacred rotundas, symbols of perfection and impermanence, on an eighteen-meter-long accordion fold.
