Il mito dell’Italian Style prese corpo negli anni Cinquanta quando l’Italia, reduce dalle ferite della guerra, scelse di aggredire il futuro. Il volume racconta quel momento storico alla luce di due specifiche componenti: la moda e il design, comprendendo in quest’ultimo anche la tradizione delle arti applicate, punto di forza della produzione italiana, evoluzione della tradizione artigianale delle epoche passate. Si dipana, quindi, un itinerario tra le eccellenze più significative del periodo: dai mobili alle lampade, dalle ceramiche ai vetri, dai metalli alle stoffe d’arredamento.

Gli anni Cinquanta rappresentano anche per la moda un decennio di fondamentale importanza: con la prima sfilata fiorentina del febbraio 1951 nasce ufficialmente la moda italiana. Il volume dà conto di questa emozionante traiettoria: i più celebri modelli del periodo, abiti e accessori, firmati da talenti creativi destinati a grandi successi. Nella promozione della nascente moda italiana sul piano internazionale si miscelano sapientemente ingredienti unici, come il patrimonio culturale italiano, un’artigianalità di altissimo livello e la vetrina offerta dalle produzioni cinematografiche, dal momento che le migliori firme italiane annoverano tra la propria clientela le stelle del cinema hollywoodiano. Nasce così l’Italian Style, all’insegna dell’entusiasmo e della gioia ritrovata.

Milestone Monday, Part 2

On this day, February 27 in 1901, Italian sculptor, painter, and printmaker Marino Marini was born in Tuscany, Italy. Besides his long professional career as an artist, Marini was a professor of art at the Scuola d’Arte di Villa Reale in Monza, near Milan, from 1929 to1940 and then a sculpture professor at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera (now Brera Academy) in Milan from 1940 to 1970. Marini developed several themes in his work, including equestrian, nudes, portraits, and circus figures. He was deeply influenced by ancient Etruscan sculpture and according to museum curator Lucy Flint, “by interpreting classical themes in light of modern concerns and with modern techniques, he sought to contribute a mythic image that would be applicable in a contemporary context.”

The first five images shown here are from Homage to Marino Marini, edited by G. di San Lazzaro and translated by Wade Stevenson, with the first image being an original lithograph. It was published in New York by Tudor Publishing Company in 1975. 

The last five images are from Marino Marini: A Suite of Sixty-three Re-creations of Drawings and Sketches in Many Mediums, with an introductory text by Werner Haftmann, and published in New York by Harry N. Abrams in 1968 in a limited edition of 2000 copies, of which ours is one of 500 specially numbered copies. The images were produced by the Günter Dietz Workshop in Lengmoos, Germany using a unique reproduction system that combines the silkscreen printing process with photochemical color separation.

Edina Altara

Edina Altara, poliedrica artista sarda del ventesimo secolo, è stata pittrice, ceramista, creatrice di moda, designer e pubblicitaria.

Ha illustrato una trentina di libri per l’infanzia e collaborato con numerose riviste e periodici.

La sua ricerca si inserisce in quel movimento di modernizzazione del primo Novecento in cui l’arte ha incontrato la produzione industriale e l’espressività popolare. 

A diciassette anni aveva già ideato una serie di balocchi di cartoncino e non ne aveva ancora venti quando il re Vittorio Emanuele III acquistò la sua opera Nella terra degli intrepidi sardi. Il collage, noto anche col titolo Jesus salvadelu è oggi esposto al Quirinale.

Nata a Sassari, il 9 luglio 1898 in una famiglia agiata, fin da bambina aveva mostrato una notevole propensione per il disegno, i colori e l’uso della carta.

Amava sperimentare e, in modo autonomo e da autodidatta, sviluppò presto un notevole senso estetico e una manualità allenata al ritaglio prima ancora che al disegno.

Si interessava di antiquariato, ma anche delle nuove tecniche produttive, esercitandosi in mille piccole attività, dal ripristino di oggetti antichi alla creazione di complementi d’arredo, alla decorazione, alla pittura. Utilizzava tessuti, carte colorate e frammenti di vetro con cui componeva scene e figure.

Il suo debutto avvenne nel 1917 con la mostra Società degli amici dell’Arte di Torino, dove il suo collage venne notato e comprato dal re.

Trasferitasi a Casale Monferrato, collaborava con diverse riviste quando, nel 1922 conobbe e sposò Vittorio Accornero de Testa, affermato scrittore, disegnatore e scenografo. Firmandosi Edina e Max Ninon, insieme, diedero vita a illustrazioni, cartoline, calendari, prodotti pubblicitari e lavori dal gusto Decò. Lei realizzava i personaggi e lui gli ambienti.

Il suo talento spaziava dal disegno alla moda. Dopo la separazione dal marito nel 1934, aveva aperto un atelier nella sua casa di Milano, dove fioccarono le richieste per lavori artistico di ogni sorta.

Si era anche dedicata con grande successo alla decorazione di maioliche prodotte da alcune ditte faentine e torinesi; progettava ciò che altri avrebbero poi riprodotto.

Durante la guerra, insieme alle sorelle, aveva creato una società di decorazione e progettazione di oggetti in ceramica che è stato un importante esempio di imprenditoria femminile, capace di consentire proventi sicuri in un periodo difficile come quello bellico.

Edina Altara ha disegnato per tutte le più importanti pubblicazioni femminili italiane. Il suo stile colto e informato, spaziava dalle curve flessuose del Liberty alla geometrie del Decò, fino a riferimenti più arcaici al mondo delle tradizioni sarde e alle figure ieratiche di Massimo Campigli, reinterpretate in un’opera emblematica come Penelope, un olio su masonite databile agli Anni Cinquanta.

Ha collaborato con tutte le più importanti riviste, tra cui  Grazia e Bellezza, diretta da Gio Ponti, con cui ha lavorato a lungo, soprattutto nel design, aiutandolo nei progetti di arredamento. Tra questi spiccano gli allestimenti di cinque grandi transatlantici italiani tra i quali l’Andrea Doria e il Conte Grande, per la sala ristorante di quest’ultimo hanno dipinto, a quattro mani, il pannello su vetro Allegoria del viaggiare (1950).

Quando il dibattito generale riprese a considerare secondarie le arti applicate, la sua poliedrica attività venne declassata a mera produzione decorativa.

Negli ultimi anni riceveva spesso commissioni per soggetti molto convenzionali, ai quali si adattava suo malgrado, pur di lavorare.

Si è spenta nella sua amata Sardegna, a Lanusei, l’11 aprile 1983.

Dopo la sua morte il suo nome era sparito dalla memoria collettiva, di recente, però, grazie al lavoro del pronipote, il giornalista Federico Spano, titolare dell’Archivio Altara, le sono state dedicate diverse retrospettive, che hanno saputo mettere l’accento sulla sua esperienza di imprenditorialità creativa e le utili ripercussioni per le nuove generazioni.

📚Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, known simply as Niccolò Machiavelli, was an Italian writer, philosopher, historian, playwright, politician and diplomat, secretary of the second chancellery of the Florentine Republic from 1498 to 1512.

What is Machiavelli famous for?

Machiavelli is the founder of modern political science.

He delimits the field of this science by distinguishing it from that of other sciences, such as ethics.

Political theory in the Middle Ages was subordinated to ethics, the prince who acted according to ethics was judged positively (e.g. specula principalis).

📚 He was a far-sighted man and in his study of human history, he was able to classify and indicate the behaviors of the dominant classes that would influence the future of all humanity.

In fact, in his book "The Prince" he exposed the methods followed for centuries by famous statesmen, and his main maxims are so current that they seem written today.

📚The term comes from Machiavelli

"Machiavellian", which refers

to the behaviors and strategies of those who do not shy away from using deception and violence to obtain political advantages, and is more generally used to connote cunning and devious ways of thinking and acting, or unscrupulous people.

(E.g. politics m.; arts m.; a plan m.; a plot m.; a Machiavellian mind).

World War I" where Machiavelli's 7 main maxims are reported.

📚Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, noto semplicemente come Niccolò Machiavelli, è stato uno scrittore, filosofo, storico, drammaturgo, politico e diplomatico italiano, segretario della seconda cancelleria della Repubblica Fiorentina dal 1498 al 1512.

Per cosa è famoso Machiavelli?

Machiavelli è il fondatore della moderna scienza politica. Egli delimita il campo di tale scienza distinguendolo da quello di altre scienze, come l'etica. La teoria politica nel medioevo era subordinata all'etica, era giudicato positivamente il principe che agiva secondo l'etica (es. specula principis).

📚Fu un uomo lungimirante e nel suo studio della storia umana, seppe classificare e indicare i comportamenti delle classi dominanti che avrebbero influito sul futuro dell'intera umanità.

Infatti nel suo libro "Il Principe" espose i metodi seguìti per secoli da famosi statisti, e le sue principali massime, sono talmente attuali che sembrano scritte oggi.

📚Da Machiavelli deriva il termine

"machiavellico", che si riferisce

ai comportamenti e alle strategie di chi non rifugge dall'usare l'inganno e la violenza per ottenere vantaggi politici, ed è più in generale usato per connotare modi di pensare e di agire astuti e subdoli, o persone prive di scrupoli.

(Es.politica m.; arti m.; un piano m.; un complotto m.; una mente machiavellica).

A Catania prende il via "Dreamaturgy Zone" di Retablo

A Catania prende il via "Dreamaturgy Zone" di Retablo. Prende il via martedì 12 settembre a Catania "Dreamaturgy Zone: D.e-Mo 2023 (Democracy & Electronic Movement) - Esperienze Immersive di Civiltà Aumentata", il progetto artistico-culturale ideato dalla compagnia Retablo, che promuove la ricerca di forme avanzate di partecipazione democratica attraverso l'utilizzo creativo delle tecnologie digitali e delle arti performative. Questo innovativo progetto, che rientra nella programmazione di "Palcoscenico Catania. La Bellezza senza confini" del Comune di Catania, si concluderà il 1 ottobre. Sono previsti, nel complesso, tre laboratori (partecipazione gratuita previa iscrizione obbligatoria retablo.comunicazione@gmail.com) e quattro spettacoli teatrali, che riassumono un palinsesto multidisciplinare che utilizza il linguaggio delle arti performative dei media digitali per ripensare e riattivare spazi di comunità. Turi Zinna, regista, autore e attore, che è fra i fondatori di Retablo, presenta così Dreamaturgy Zone:"Questo è il secondo step di un progetto che ha preso il via nel 2022, finanziato dal Comune di Catania e dal Ministero della Cultura, destinato alle periferie delle Città Metropolitane italiane. Con la nostra compagnia da due decenni affrontiamo la prospettiva delle tecnologie applicate alle arti sceniche, nell'ottica di quanto queste abbiano un'influenza anche nel contesto sociale. È sotto gli occhi di tutti quanto la crisi di rappresentanza che sta attraversando la dinamica democratica nel mondo sia collegata con la frammentazione dei blocchi sociali tradizionali di riferimento novecentesco e quanto sia interrelata con le comunità che si formano attraverso la socialità digitale. L'universo delle rappresentazioni non può non essere travolto da questa evoluzione radicale. Rappresentanza e rappresentazione, in questo passaggio d'epoca, sono investite da un analogo turbamento. D.e-Mo 2023, quest'anno, sarà realizzato nei quartieri catanesi Librino, Antico Corso, Tondicello della Plaja. Il palinsesto che andiamo a presentare ospita oltre alle nostre produzioni, quelle del Teatro dell'Argine e Chrones.: compagnie e artisti che più stanno sperimentando in Italia forme di drammaturgia ibrida, fisica e digitale". Il progetto sarà inaugurato martedì 12 settembre a partire dalle ore 16:00 a Villa Fazio, nel quartiere Librino, con il laboratorio Hyper Dreamedy - Teatro tecnologico for dummies(Compagnia Retablo) condotto da Turi Zinna, Un laboratorio di teatro digitale nel cuore di Librino, dove immaginazione e tecnologia si incontrano per generare bellezza. Dove sperimentare tecnologie avanzate per creare esperienze interattive e immersive. Dove il digitale è bene comune, linfa di creatività condivisa, accessibile a tutti. Una preziosa opportunità in cui tessere reti neurali collaborative tra città ancora separate. Un luogo in cui le idee prendono forma attraverso la collaborazione e il mutuo apprendimento. I successivi appuntamenti in programma sono il 13, 16, 19, 20 e 23 settembre. Da giovedì 14 settembre alle ore 14.30 prenderà il via a Villa Fazio, Speakers' Corners, un laboratorio a cura della Compagnia Teatro dell'Argine che nasce dal più ampio progetto Politico Poetico che si è aggiudicato numerosi premi, fra i quali l'UBU nel 2021. Questo workshop, condotto da Micaela Casalboni e Andrea Paolucci, coinvolgerà ragazzi e ragazze dai 13 ai 20 anni per immaginare soluzioni e proporre azioni per rendere il proprio territorio più inclusivo, equo, sicuro e giusto, a partire dai 17 obiettivi dell'Agenda 2030. Saranno realizzati cinque tavoli tematici (Ambiente, Lavoro, Disuguaglianze, Comunità, Giustizia), con una domanda: "Cosa posso fare io, oggi, nella mia città, nella mia scuola, nel mio quotidiano per costruire un futuro più sostenibile?". Chiederemo a giovani cittadini e cittadine catanesi di individuare nel proprio quotidiano situazioni di disagio, spreco, inefficienza o degrado e di elaborare piccoli e grandi progetti per raggiungere, sia a livello locale che individuale, gli obiettivi globali dell'agenda. Per fare tutto ciò useremo esercizi teatrali e metodi di facilitazione quali il world café, il debate e il Jigsaw, modalità coinvolgenti e partecipate per stimolare la riflessione e la partecipazione di tutti e tutte. Tutte le idee e i progetti diventeranno piccoli monologhi che i partecipanti presenteranno alla cittadinanza durante il flash mob Speakers' Corners. I partecipanti saliranno su delle cassette di legno, piccoli podi improvvisati, come a Hyde Park a Londra, pronti a spiegarci il loro punto di vista sul mondo e per raccontare agli spettatori la loro idea di domani. I successivi appuntamenti, della durata di 3 ore ciascuno, saranno nei seguenti giorni: 15, 21, 22 e 29 settembre. Questo laboratorio di cittadinanza attiva si concluderà il 30 settembre con un evento finale a Piazza Duomo per immaginare una Catania migliore. L'ultimo laboratorio di Dreamaturgy Zone, che è a cura di Chrones., è in programma lunedì 25 settembre dalle 16.00 al Bastione degli Infetti, nel quartiere Antico Corso: SEPHIROT® è un sistema di creazione di performance interattive in cui pubblico e performer cambiano il corso della storia in tempo reale. Il laboratorio consiste nella possibilità di assistere alle prove aperte e al dietro le quinte dell'allestimento di Sephirot Marino, prima vera performance digitale ibrida di Chrones. Lo spettacolo si avvale della tecnologia "visual recognition", un sistema di intelligenza artificiale specializzato nel riconoscimento dei volti, fornita dal software per le performance interattive "DoPPioGioco" sviluppato dal CIRMA (UniTo) e adattato da Alessandro Anglani alla forma iperdrammaturgica. La seconda parte del progetto è riservata agli spettacoli: Il Labirinto (Compagnia Teatro dell'Argine) dal 26 al 29 settembre dalle ore 9:00 a Librino (Istituto Omnicomprensivo Angelo Musco); SEPHIROT - Marino (Compagnia Chrones.) il 26 e 27 settembre alle ore 19:30 al Bastione degli Infetti (Antico Corso); Speakers' Corners (Compagnia Teatro dell'Argine) il 30 settembre - a piazza Duomo; Tifeo.

Trash Heap Souvenir No. 8

Borders, Love & Rock & Roll

“Don’t judge a book by its cover”.

My ass, don’t judge a book by its cover. I ordered tons of albums from Columbia House just because of their cover. Pere Ubu’s MODERN DANCE? Because of the cover. Bauhaus SINGLES? Because of its cover. Pulp? Because the DIFFERENT CLASS cover looked so damn rad.

There was no way of sampling this stuff. And as history proved, if a band cared enough about its visual representation then chances are it matched their sound. And sometimes a great album cover enhances the music. It affected everything. This whole package. And Pulp. Looked. Rad. As. Fuck.

As soon as I got the CD I flipped through its booklet. The sets the band mates posed in were in color, the members themselves were in black and white. And wore sharp suits. Well, not Candida Doyle. She was pale with dark hair and wore a skirt and a long-sleeved top. I played the thing a thousand times. Jarvis Cocker was so fucking cool, man. And all his songs were about boning. And as a performer he acted out his lyrics with his hands. Not corny but slick. I wanted to be that guy. Move aside, Brodie Bruce.

But Candida Doyle. What came to my attention was this: I definitely had a type. Don’t ask me where this came from; I don’t know. Maybe because of Snow White. The Wicked Queen? Disguised as an old hag? My goodness. I’m kidding. No, the Wicked Queen as is. Kill. Me. I later read that for Martin Scorsese, growing up in an Italian dominant neighborhood meant that blondes were incredibly exotic. Well, pale girls with big light eyes and dark hair were my Achille’s heel. And none were ever interested in my dorky ass. These gals I never could build the courage to talk, turned out, also loved Pulp. They were arty, well-read, had impeccable style, liked foreign cinema, and duh, had great taste in tunes.

Wasn’t always that way. I liked blondes as a kid. One of my biggest crushes that would send my pre-adolescent heart fluttering was a dirty blonde. She lived right across the street from my brother’s house. We’d play wrestle on his yard and I’d spend all night replaying our encounters in my head. By thirteen I had a Nicole Kidman poster on my wall. Even a Jenny McCarthy one where she’s naked, sprawled on a pink silk sheet. I’m not attracted to any of these women now but back in junior high? Mama mia. My mom hated the McCarthy poster. She’d ask me to take it down. I wouldn’t. One afternoon I come home from school and it’s gone. “What happened to my poster?”

“You’re too young to have that on your wall!”

The next day I come in. The poster is back up. I furrow my brows. I walk into the entertainment room and there’s my brother Luis Osvaldo. He glances at me with a smirk, nodding his head and then winks.

Back to Pulp.

So on the AOL chat boards hoping I would meet the love of my life I would search for local gals who dug that band. I became online friends with them. And a couple I met in real life. Shared very brief platonic friendships and they introduced me to more music and enlightened me with finer points: “Did you know that Pulp was originally a goth band?”

Jumping back in the timeline:

I’m hanging out with Chris and Deez in the Crystal Court branch of the South Coast Plaza Mall… the part of the mall that sucked ‘cause there was nothing fun there. We notice a new bookstore. A two-story bookstore. It’s called Borders. I see that they’re hiring. I was working as a telemarketer with Chris and Deez and it was so mind-numbing. We had to get people to do these surveys and they’d cuss you out, slam the phone on you, flirt with you, ignore you, blast the radio in your ear. It was a drag. I wanted out. Here was a chance. I filled out the application. Turned it in. And then I got a call.

I was over it. Over basic schooling. I did one year at Middle College High, learned that I could do independent studies and continue taking my college classes. By the middle of my Junior year I will have graduated. But with this program I could work in the mornings and continue my courses at night. Independent studies gave me so much freedom. I went from a very “brilliant but lazy” student nabbing C plusses and B minuses to getting straight As. Independent studies let me be inventive. And I actually learned shit. And retained it. I continued making short films on my camcorder, cutting them via equipment on the college campus. I was taking introduction TV/media classes while devouring whatever my film history professor tossed my way: THE ROARING TWENTIES, BONNIE AND CLYDE, DO THE RIGHT THING, etc. etc. Ahhh! What a breath of fresh air!

My first day of class he showed us a doc with a narrator going over the birth of cinema. I had never paid attention to a silent film before. And then the footage comes on: this guy, very gothic-looking, resembling the vampires that starred in the plethora of stolen vampire books I’d lug around as a Freshman, is still with his eyes closed. And his make-up is stunning. A showrunner, Caligari, is spouting words depicted on a title card. The gothic man is Cesare. And he’s a somnambulist. He’s opening his peepers for the first time in X amount of years. Slowly, slowly he peels his lids open to reveal big, wide maddening eyes. My own eyes were in a trance. What is this? Movies can do this?? It just clicked. It clicked for me. It reflected all the shit I was into at the time. I learned all about German Expressionism, I jotted a list of titles to seek, and then we watched THE GOLD RUSH, my first Chaplin. Film was never the same for me. It was right there and then that I went: I am going to make movies for a living.

Ha! Have fun with that shit, pal.

I needed money. And I wanted to save up. But I also wanted to move out of my parents’ house because I had had it. I was tired of fighting with my dad and being called a loser all the time and a waste of space, to put it nicely. Man, I just wanted to be left alone. It was like school, what do people want from me? Leave me the fuck alone. I don’t bother you, don’t bother me. But my dad consistently bullied me. I can now see why he handled things the way he did but me in my late-teens couldn’t. Borders seemed like a good opportunity to not only have access at a discounted rate to a world of books that could really teach me something, but I could start saving up to move out.

The first job I ever had was as a cashier for Luis Osvaldo at his car alarm & radio shop. But I didn’t want to be working for my brother. I wanted independence from my family.  

To contradict, the other gig I had for a very long while was as an unorthodox server, if you will. My mom, fed up with my dad’s gambling plights, lashed at him. As a treaty my dad started hosting bookmaking nights for his acquaintances out of the garage. And these excursions were just like the ones Tony Soprano was involved in on THE SOPRANOS: they’d last all weekend, into all hours of the clock. And these men would get hungry. We didn’t have any of those online door delivery food services like everyone has now. My dad would buy an ass-load of groceries, my mom would cook all weekend, and we’d feed these derelict men, charging each by the plate. Un cafecito? I would walk from the kitchen through the backyard with a tray full of mini coffee shots into this smoke-filled, booze drenched den. And the gamblers would tip me. Outrageous money for a thirteen-year-old. By the time I was seventeen I had about five-thousand-dollars stored in my savings account. Eventually my mom had enough and was tired of casseroling over a hot stove all weekend and the dominos at Cuenca’s came to an end. I wrote this into SCENES FROM OBLIVION as the lead character’s (Misha’s) source of income.

I go to Borders for my job interview. I luck out. Matt, one of the managers, is a musician. He interviews me and the interview shifts into us talking about punk bands (his favorite is X). Another time punk rock abetted my life.

“So, Mike, what instrument do you play?”

“Uhhh… bass.” And this is something I used to say all the time without realizing what I was saying, “But I don’t know how to play chords.”

This was always met with a puzzled look. You don’t need to know chords to play bass. You just need to know the notes. Ask Joe Strummer. He showed Paul Simonon how to play bass by taping the notes on his fretboard.

Matt just laughed and went, “I play bass! Why’d you pick it?”

Because I loved Crass and Joy Division and the bass made those bands, that’s why. “It sounds cool!”

“Right! It’s the instrument that always stood out for me. It just spoke to me, you know?” Hey, he said what I was thinking.

Matt hired me. And when I went into this job interview, as Yvonne Trinh will verify, I was dressed as one would for a chance at employment. But on my first day at Borders? I came in with liberty spiked hair and a torn-up blue shirt held together by safety pins and band patches. And this was my truck-to-floor/inventory gig.

Yvonne was one of the booksellers at Borders. She was into rockabilly. And the color green. Sweet and very friendly. Maybe trying to insinuate a conversation she politely tells me that the books I’m about to stock on a shelf aren’t books that belong on said shelf. I snap at her, “I know!” and she backed away. Little could we foretell that we’d become very close and she’d be one of my longest, dearest and best friends.

Pictured: me and Yvonne in 2001 or 2002. In the background that Fakes/Fuzz Guns poster I put up at Geez Louise plus the metallic blue bass I got at of Out of Vogue.

First day on the job I’m filling paperwork next to the other new hire who’s about a decade or so older. Dave “The Mod” Durling was from Boston. Hilarious like a Seinfeld character. But subtle. Not cartoonish. We became immediate friends. Just one of those people you click with in a second. Dave’s one of the best people I’ve ever met and someone who’s knowledge of films and music I greatly admired.

Check out Dave’s story: he gets a call that his mother has passed, he packs, leaves the lights on and everything at his Boston apartment as is, flies out here for the funeral, ends up reacquainting with Liz, one of his sister’s friends who he had met the prior year while she was visiting Boston, they go home together, a month later and they had gotten married because why not? Now he’s here in Orange County, broke, married, with his electric bill running amuck at his apartment back home. This is 2000. It’s 2022 and Liz and Dave are still married.

But, man, did we get along. And we initially bonded over our love of Kevin Smith movies, particularly CLERKS. Day in, day out, Dave and I would communicate in CLERKS and Tarantino movie quotes. Dave had been an aspiring filmmaker and musician and things just didn’t pan out.

Dave gave me a list of his favorite movies. Or maybe movies I should watch. I checked out every single one of those. Movies that are my all-timers now. Movies I watched repeatedly like TREES LOUNGE and DIRTY HARRY, just to name two. He also gifted me a stack of filmmaking books and director bios including REBEL WITH A CREW, Robert Rodriguez’s story on how he made EL MARIACHI for nada. Dave was a huge Beatles fan. Huge Britpop fan. Former suited Mod. Hence, Dave the Mod. We both loved Blur and The Who (particularly the first three albums) and when I’d mention some ‘80s band I really dug he’d turn to me and go, “Kid, how the hell do you know about all this?”

I was a nerd! A vampire (lmao) preying on any overlooked tune, comic, or movie.

My schoolmate Kat comes over. First time over to my parents’ house. She takes a look at my room and all my stuff and she goes sourly, “Must be nice to be rich.” That’s always stuck with me. Rich? We weren’t rich. Sure, the furniture in my room was bought by my dad but all my media shit I bought with my own savings or damn right stole from Columbia House. Rich? Are you kidding me? But Kat came from a large Mexican family all sharing rooms in a small house. I told myself I would never take any handouts from that point on. Well, save for the times I was flat broke and had to crawl on my hands and knees.

Through Kat I met Luis Navejas at Santa Ana College. Luis was friends with Kat’s sister. Dude. Was. Cool. Luis had shaggy hair and thick sideburns and wore ‘70s style shirts and bell-bottom like pants and Wranglers. A little hunched over, always with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, eyes hidden behind aviator shades. He was a musician and in a band with the rest of his brothers and they were called Enjambre. Enjambre means swarm in Spanish and avejas means bees and their last name is Navejas. Get it?

Luis loved the shit out of FIGHT CLUB. And Brad Pitt. That was his idol. And he emulated him a bit. And I in turn saw Luis as my role model and emulated him. Gone was my black attire replaced by colorful vintage tees (the ones I could find to fit me, I was lanky and short and hadn’t hit my growth spurt) and tracked down Wrangler polyester pants in all shades. Wore ‘em for years.

Luis was taking film courses too and he had just moved from Mexico. We’d toss movie ideas back and forth. One came to me while I was stuck in traffic, I told Luis and we expanded upon it. That’s one of my many dream projects I have never tackled because it needs a budget. But there was this other script I had written and I gave it to him. I wanted Luis to play the lead because I dunno. And he drew a character sketch.

I had horrible acne. Always have had bad acne until fairly recently but goddamn, it was horrible. Chunks of puss-filled dangling flesh. I couldn’t bear to look at myself in the mirror. I just couldn’t. Bad self-esteem. I started writing a story about a man, a very lonely man who walked around with a mysterious briefcase and just observed people from a distance, the bottom of his face wrapped in scarves. This man was the narrator and watched several one-setting scenarios on his route to work, seven total, each one very loosely based off one of the deadly sins. Through them you got to learn a little about him. What I revealed at the end, in a very Cesare the Somnambulist unwrapping, is that he is horribly scarred underneath. And he had to go around smiling like nothing was wrong, as his questionable profession called for. I worked intensely on the script for a long while and it’s the first script I ever completed. This was the movie I wanted to make. My first feature film.

At Borders I had now made friends with Dave and Yvonne and was friendly with Peter K (of the future Aaron/Lloyd/me crew). And then I saw her… Roseanna.

Now this kid here, me? Always had crushes on girls. Huge crushes. But I was too shy. In second grade two gals complimented my eyes and I nervously cussed them out because I didn’t know what to say. It’s taken me years to feel comfortable accepting a compliment. So when I saw Roseanna and she told me she dug one of my band pins my heart did sixty-eight cartwheels. I got lunch with her once at the Del Taco nearby. I was trembling. She then mentioned her creepy, annoying boyfriend who wouldn’t leave her alone. My heart sank. But then my spirits were lifted when she brought me burned CDs of artists I had never heard of.

“Oh, you love Pulp? Well, I love Pulp. And if you love Pulp you’re gonna love these.”

I was way into Britpop at this juncture.*

*The scenesters at this point tend to eschew people who don’t stick to one subculture. I fucking loved/love it all. But isn’t that what punk’s all about? Acceptance and growth? You would think. So who’s the poseur, I used to say. Or as I wrote on a chalkboard at Borders: Who watches The Watchmen?

If THE CROW soundtrack got me into the Mary Chain and The Cure, and the RUSHMORE soundtrack got me into The Creation and the Kinks, well, the TRAINSPOTTING one made me a full-fledged Britpop fan. Not only was Pulp on the soundtrack, but Blur too. And I became a massive devotee. TRAINSPOTTING was a huge influence on me. I started dressing like Marc Renton and his crew and paid a shit ton of money to import from the UK the exact same purple with yellow stripe sambas Renton wore. I even started using heroin. I’m kidding. No heroin. I was also big into Radiohead. THE BENDS and OK COMPUTER were on constant rotation in my room. I used to wear a green-sleeved baseball tee with the words “Fake Plastic Trees” scribbled with a sharpie on its chest that got a ton of approval from Borders folks older than me.*

But for some reason I had never heard of Suede (known in the states as The London Suede). Suede aside, not sure if I see the correlation between Pulp and the other bands Roseanna introduced me to. But she burned me Suede’s HEAD MUSIC. “Everybody hates this album and they say only girls like it but those people are stupid. They’re just mad Bernard Butler’s no longer in the band. But it’s great!”  HEAD MUSIC along with Modest Mouse’s THE MOON AND ANTARTICA and LONESOME CROWDED WEST, The Birthday Party HITS and Bikini Kill SINGLES.

I couldn’t believe this girl I had a crush on was introducing me to all this rad music. I later did a CD swap with Yvonne. I lent her Bikini Kill SINGLES and she lent me a burned CD of X’s first two albums, LOS ANGELES and WILD GIFT, which were super tough to get a hold of at the time. And that’s how Yvonne and I started to bond. I used to confide to her all my girl problems (as depicted in next week’s stunning chapter) and she used to tell me all about this skinhead/Mod dude she was seeing who was starting to grow cold.

Nothing ever transpired between Roseanna and I and she ended up quitting, or getting fired, and taking off with her sometimes stalker boyfriend who wouldn’t leave the store. But she set a precedent for the sort of girls I would be interested in: women with awesome taste in music who wanted nothing to do with me romantically. And you knew they were into cool music because of how they dressed. It all went hand-in-hand. This is all before alt-culture appropriation, of course, a topic I let the protagonists in BOYS ABOUT TOWN do a deep-dive on. Why was that important to me? I didn’t relate to my Cuban culture, it didn’t accept me, and had found my own.

But Pulp. Pulp. Pulp. All roads lead to Pulp.

I tell Dave that I’m going to form a band. Because you wanna know what I had just learned? I read somewhere (or maybe misread) that Jarvis Cocker had initially formed Pulp in order to become famous enough to be a director. That was his passion. And I took inspiration. I didn’t want be in a band to be a rock star to hook up with people like everyone else. I wanted to garner enough attention in order to be able to pursue what I really wanted to pursue: making movies.  

I started writing songs. They would just come out of nowhere. I didn’t put much thought into them. Once I learned how to play and sing simultaneously, and boy, that took a minute, I would just mumble a melody as I played whatever on my bass and the melody would guide whatever note I’d move to on the fretboard. It’s still how I write music. A made a whole demo tape. Ten, twelve songs. A demo tape I don’t have any more and would love to give a listen to. Guitarist Monica and Luis’s brother Rafa and I would try to play them as we auditioned random drummers off Craig’s List. It never went anywhere. And I gave up on all that.

But in true me fashion one thought lead to another. The next time I see Dave I go, “Wait. Forget the Jarvis Cocker route. I got it. I know what I’m going to do.” I had been going to so many music festivals, why don’t I host my own? And I’ll use the benefits from the festival to fund my movie! I’ve read REBEL WITHOUT A CREW! I can do this! I can do it!

“You can do it? How are you going to do that? You’re seventeen!”

Roseanna was gone now. And the doomsday clock at Borders continued to chime. Eventually they, meaning upper management, had to separate Dave and I. He was the best friend I could have at that age and we spent our Monday through Friday shifts yapping and laughing our asses off relentlessly via a horde of inside jokes. Dave kept his position. And I was moved to the registers. I hated it. I’d close my eyes at night and all I would see was the cash register opening and shutting. I was stuck behind the counter. And I wasn’t allowed to read. The shifts were slow as hell and you’re telling me I’m at a bookstore with my thumbs up my ass and I can’t read? I mean, I did anyway. Underneath the camera. Couple pages at a time before I’d get caught. Penny Rimbaud’s remembrance books. An Andy Warhol book. THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO. Bob Dylan’s TARANTULA. An outlaw poetry book. I felt so motivated.

Soon Dave quit because he and Liz were moving back to Boston (“Gotta take care of that electricity bill now”). I was so bummed. Just wasn’t the same. I too quit Borders and wound up hired at the corporate 100 Virgin Megastore.

But I was focused. That festival. It’s gonna happen.

The people who I admire, who I personally believe in, who I see so much potential in, I’ve always wanted them to succeed along with me. I got Alex Guillen to say yes to being on the bill. I got the neighbor down the street in a band to say yes to being on the bill. And I nearly got Weezer and Green Day to be on the bill. “Your band will get all this recognition,” I told Alex and my neighbor. I was on the phone at all hours of the day talking to agents and managers and venue owners. This kid. This kid who could only stutter every time he got on the phone. I tried to get Placebo, no dice. I went to their show at the Palladium, somehow got backstage and I’m seeing Eric Erlandson and Sofia Coppola around me and I’m going holy shit and there’s Brian Molko and I go up to him and vomit all the information about my benefit festival and he tells me to shut up and like a diva, walks away. We crept into UCLA with Jacob for this Hank Williams tribute concert to try and talk to Beck. Security caught me in the wings and when I tried to escape I flew back against Elvis Costello, spilling his drink. DUDE, ELVIS COSTELLO!

Jacob was in that last minute One Minute Rice band that Alex Guillen and I threw together for that one birthday party. And Jacob was Jackie’s brother.

March 5th, 2000. I’d never been up to LA before. Not on my own. I didn’t have a car quite yet. Guitarist Monica and I are given a lift by her dad and we’re dropped outside the Virgin Megastore that was over by Fairfax and Sunset. A line is starting to form. It’s very early in the day. The Smashing Pumpkins are playing a free show in support of their new MACHINA album. I’m not entirely into it although I kinda dig some tracks. There’s no promise we’ll get in. And have no idea how we’re going to get back to Santa Ana. We get in. We watch the show from the third floor. A clear view. They play in the outdoor plaza. On our way out, I see these kids that I know for a fact go to our school district. They can squeeze us into their car. One of them is Jackie, this girl I’d gone to elementary school with. These kids are Pumpkin-heads and I’m just thrilled to meet folks who are the into the same band! Monica aside, I didn’t know any Pumpkins fans.

Jackie loved My Bloody Valentine and Catherine Wheel and PJ Harvey and Jacob disliked female singers and was really into Fugazi. Through Jackie I met Alex Guillen and his brother Gio. Alex and Gio were currently in a band and would later form Deathday. I was really into Jackie. Mainly because of how she dressed and her taste in music. I wanted her Pumpkin-head friends to adopt me as one of their own. But they were a very tight group. Months later Jackie and I very-very briefly casually dated. She got me into shoegaze and more into Sonic Youth (my original intro had been the JUDGEMENT NIGHT soundtrack like a ton of folks my age). But I did treat our fling like a therapy session in which I recounted my dark days at Saddleback high as I have here. This was a bad pattern of mine for years in relationships. And because I could only hang out with her at night, this guy right here, stupidest thing I could have done at that point in my life, dropped out of my evening college courses. All for a girl. All for a fling. Dropped out and never went back.

Jackie and I wound up having a falling out. I flipped out on her one day when I was working at Virgin. Well, I treated her callously when ringing her up. We hadn’t seen each other in a long minute and, I’m not here to call people out, but someone who fancied me didn’t want me seeing her, got jealous, and started spreading rumors that she and her friends were talking shit about me and my rambling ‘therapy sessions’. I believed said person and coldly took it out on Jackie during business hours. I could have just called her and inquired but, no, I blew up, cussing her out, accusing her of things. She yelled at me that I’m crazy. And I sure was acting nuts. The manager on duty laughed and then threw on Prodigy’s “Smack my Bitch Up” loudly on the speakers. Crudely funny to me now. Not funny at the time. Jackie and her friends reciprocated by hurling a rock through the back window of my car. That whole situation was handled immaturely but what do you want? We were teenagers. But my general mistrust in people and why the ending of MANHATTAN had me break into tears later on in life, the seed of it was planted here. You just can’t trust people but you gotta have a little faith in ‘em. Which is what my debut feature JERRY POWELL is really all about. Beneath it all.

I stopped hanging out with the gossiping admirer. I now couldn’t get a band together. I was finally in with the cool Pumpkins loving kids but now they hated me. Dave had moved away. I wasn’t taking film courses anymore. Deez and Chris? We had drifted. And this corporate fucking job at the Virgin Megastore was killing my spirits. My acne got even worse. Flaring up. I looked like a ripped-tomato. Went into deep depression. I had been struggling with dejection briefly as a tormented teen but now here it was full-force. I suck. I’m fucking stupid. My fucking dad is fucking right. I shouldn’t have been born.

One night I’m with my two buddies Leeno (a stoner who didn’t care for rock music but loved Portishead) and Michelle (an elementary school and MCH schoolmate). We meet with Alex Guillen at the Block, outside the Starbucks. Leeno and Michelle have been very supportive. I was very sad. Feeling in the dumps. Cheeseball, but on the drive over there The Beatles “Yesterday” comes on. I look at Michelle and tell her this song is how I feel.

I had told Guillen a while back about my filmmaking pipedreams.

“If Jarvis Cocker can do it…”

“Yeah, well, you’re not Jarvis Cocker.”

Rafa (Luis Navejas’ brother who used to jam with Monica and I) used to tell me, “You can’t sing.”

“Punk rockers don’t have to sing!”

I played him “Orgasm Addict” by the Buzzcocks. Rafa listened and looked at me, “That guy knows how to sing.”

He was right. I couldn’t sing. But who cares!

Guillen, “I like your demo tape. But you need to work on your lyrics.”

Fuck my lyrics! Lyrics don’t matter!

I didn’t want to hear it. I had dreams, man. I had drive. I was stubborn and I didn’t want to hear it. But this night Guillen put it bluntly: it’ll never happen. He was right. “Despite all the computations…” I needed to hear it. This stupid festival plan was now falling apart. I had no assistance. I couldn’t keep it together. He gave me suggestions. I still didn’t want to hear them. I stopped hanging out with him too. I distanced myself from everyone. Leeno, Michelle, Luis. All of them. Another bad tendency of mine.

What am I going to do?

That night I tried to kill myself.

  NIKOLINKA  NIKOLOVA

NIKOLINKA  NIKOLOVA

  Nikolinka Nikolova è un’artista di origine bulgara che dal 1992 vive e lavora in Italia e rappresenta oggi una realtà importante del mondo artistico italiano, come testimoniato dalla sua attività nei ultimi anni.

Iniziata la carriera nell’ambito della forma, dopo una serie di prove condotte con intensa applicazione ma rapidamente esaurite, l’artista ha definito le complesse caratteristiche dello stile attuale il Chromoemotism, che rappresenta il frutto di una prima quanto piena maturità. Si tratta della creazione di un mondo di straordinaria vivacità e di metodica applicazione che pone gli osservatori di fronte ad espressioni di altissimo impatto visivo dietro le quali si nasconde un mondo che si colloca oltre i chiusi orizzonti della visione tradizionale per attingere i liberi universi della fantasia in virtù di una tecnica che sfugge ad una precisa definizione.

In realtà la ricchezza di spunti, esaltati da uno stile straordinario ed assolutamente originale, fa della pittrice italo-bulgara, come si è detto, una delle personalità artistiche più interessanti dell’attuale panorama artistico nazionale. Dal 2003 partecipa a mostre collettive in Italia e all’Estero.

Ha progettato vetrate artistiche per enti pubblici e privati. Ha avuto diversi riconoscimenti, premi e pubblicazioni in giornali e riviste d’arte come artista e curatrice di eventi d’arte.

Ha creato una linea “Vesti d’arte” con le sue opere stampate su tessuti pregiati di raso e chiffon di seta da indossare, presentando i suoi foulard “con il nome”, come sottolinea l’autrice, perché portano i titoli delle opere riprodotte.

La sua arte versatile e colorata si presenta anche in oggetti d’arredamento come lampade e sedie.

Il suo STUDIO ESPOSITIVO si può visitare a Nichelino in via Spadolini,9 che è anche CENTRO CULTURALE e sede dell’Associazione “L’Arte Incontra…” presieduta da lei, dove si svolgono corsi creativi di pittura e musica.

Nikolinka Nikolova出生于保加利亚，自1992年以来一直在意大利工作。今天，她在意大利艺术界扮演着重要的角色，近年来她的活动证明了这一点。艺术家在形式领域有着丰富的职业生涯，他很快就确定了当前Chromoemotism模型的复杂特征，这使他作为一名艺术家完全成熟。她是一个充满活力和有条不紊的应用世界，通过一种无法准确定义的技术，将观众置于视野的视野和幻想的世界之中。丰富的创意，使其成为当前国家艺术界最有趣的艺术个性之一。她为公共和私人机构设计了彩色玻璃窗，并在出版物，报纸和艺术杂志上获得了多个奖项和奖项。她创作了一条“装扮艺术”系列，她的艺术品采用精美的绸缎和丝绸��料印制，如围巾和其他时尚单品所见。

她多才多艺的艺术品也出现在灯具和椅子等家具中。自2003年以来，她参加了意大利和国外的团体展览以及艺术和艺��活动策展人。她的展览工作室可以通过Spadolini，9位于Nichelino参观，这也是一个文化中心，也是由她主持的“Meet Art …”协会的所在地，那里举办创意绘画和音乐课程。

Nikolinka Nikolova was born in Bulgaria and has lived and worked in Italy since 1992. Today she plays an important part in the Italian art world, as evidenced by his activity in recent years.

Having started her career in the field of form, the artist soon defined the complex characteristics of the current style of Chromoemotism, which led to her full maturity as an artist.

Hers is a world of extraordinary vivacity and methodical application that places the audience beyond the horizons of traditional vision and into a universe of fantasy with a technique that defies precise definition.

It is a world filled with a wealth of ideas, it is enhanced by an extraordinary and absolutely original style, making her one of the most interesting artistic personalities of the current national art scene.

She has designed stained glass windows for public and private institutions and has won several awards and prizes and has been seen in publications, newspapers and art magazines.

She created a line “Vesti d’arte” with her art printed on fine satin and chiffon silk fabrics to wear, as seen on scarves and other fashionable items.

Her versatile and colorful art is also present in objects of furniture such as lamps and chairs.

Since 2003 she has participated in group exhibitions in Italy and abroad as well as an artist and curator of art events.

Her EXHIBITION STUDIO can be visited in Nichelino in via Spadolini, 9 which is also a CULTURAL CENTER and home of the “L’Arte Incontra …” association chaired by her, where creative painting and music courses are held.

  ANNA MARIA LAMBERTI

ANNA MARIA LAMBERTI

    Vicepresidente  dell’Associazione Culturale “ L’Arte Incontra…” di Nichelino. Da tanti anni si occupa di volontariato attraverso laboratori per disabili e persone affette di Parkinson. L’arte l’ha sempre attratta e affascinata nella ricerca della sua identità. Le sue opere rappresentano viaggi mistici del proprio inconscio, costellato da montagne viventi, navi volanti, o ghepardi sospesi. La sobrietà pop-naif dei suoi campi di lavanda o l’universalità d’una mela sospesa nella vastità della dimensione cromatica le consente di approfondire intuizioni immediate, dilatandole figurativamente a ricerche indotte che ampliano i rigori della logica. La surrealtà che suscita artisticamente la allontana dalla mera convenzionalità delle cose, provocando nei fruitori più sensibili una condivisa sensazione di leggerezza, di evanescenza, quasi di desiderio di allontanarsi dal peso della quotidianità. Da tanti anni espone in Italia e all’estero.

Anna Maria担任Nichelino的Nikolinka Nikolova文化协会“L’Arte Incontra ……”的副总裁。多年来，她一直参与志愿服务，为残疾人和帕金森病患者举办研讨会。艺术总是吸引并着迷于她寻找自己的身份。 她的作品代表了她自己无意识的神秘旅程，一个充满了活山，飞船或悬浮的猎豹的宇宙。 她的薰衣草田的视野或悬浮在广阔的色彩维度中的苹果的普遍性使她能够深化其意义，扩展它们并拓宽简单逻辑的范围。

超现实主义远离传统，允许最敏感的用户分享一个感觉和轻盈的世界，在地平线上消失，摆脱日常生活的压。

Anna Maria serves as Vice President of Nikolinka Nikolova’s Cultural Association “L’Arte Incontra …” of Nichelino.

For many years she has been involved in volunteering through workshops for disabled people and people with Parkinson’s disease.

Art has always attracted and fascinated her in the search for her identity. Her works represent mystical journeys of her own unconscious, a universe filled with living mountains, flying ships, or suspended cheetahs.

The vision of her lavender fields or the universality of an apple suspended in the vastness of the chromatic dimension allows her to deepen their very meaning, expanding them and broadening the confines of simple logic.

The surreality steers away from mere conventionality, allowing the most sensitive users to share a world of feeling and lightness, fading on the horizon, pulling away from the weight of everyday life.

  ADRIANA  CERNEI 

ADRIANA CERNEI 

    Dopo lunghi anni di vita a Torino, dove ha iniziato tutto da zero e lontana dalla famiglia di origine, un giorno percepì la prontezza di aprire finalmente le ali. Riprende la pittura seguendo corsi, laboratori, lezioni con maestri locali e predilige il figurativo all’informale di una volta poiché sente ormai sue le parole di Rerich: “per salvare la rosa devi saper riconoscere la sua bellezza. Per amare le montagne devi sentire la loro magia”… in ogni  dettaglio, forma,  gesto. Espone in varie mostre in Italia e all’estero, alcune sue opere fanno parte delle collezioni private.

Adriana Cernei在意大利都灵度过了许多年。 在那个时代远离家庭，但她很快就决定再次专注于她的艺术。 她恢复了绘画，参加了课程和研讨会，并与当地大师一起参加了讲座。 她来遵循Rerich的指示，他说：“为了拯救玫瑰，你必须知道如何认识它的美丽。要爱山，你必须感受到它们的魔力”……在每一个细节，形式，姿态。 她的作品曾在意大利和国外的许多展览中展出，她的许多作品现在都是私人收藏的一部分。

Adriana Cernei has lived for many yeas in Turin, Italy. In that time has lived far from family but she soon decided it was time to once again concentrate on her art.

She resumed painting, took courses and workshops and attended lecture with local masters.

She came to follow the dictates of Rerich who said: “To save the rose you must know how to recognize its beauty. To love the mountains you have to feel their magic “… in every detail, form, gesture.

Her work has been featured in many exhibitions in Italy and abroad, and many of  her works are now part of private collections.

IRINA MARKOVA

IRINA MARKOVA

      Irina Markova è una pittrice d’origine russa che vive e lavora a Como, in Italia; da sempre ha l’arte nel sangue, fin da piccola segue con continuità e costanza corsi specialistici di ritrattista, tecnica pittorica e disegno, diplomandosi poi presso l’Istituto di Design in Russia. L’artista ha partecipato a numerose manifestazione artistiche a carattere nazionale e internazionale, riscuotendo successo di critica e pubblico. La pittura di Irina è una sua visione della sintesi di un corpo coperto di ricami geometrici che è destinato a scomporsi a pezzi per arrivare a una certa semplicità geometrica come un triangolo, un cerchio, un rombo… Essi sono diversissimi tra loro e hanno un significato differente che segna il rapporto inscindibile tra massa, energia e luce.

伊琳娜·马尔科娃是一位出生于俄罗斯的画家，在意大利科莫生活和工作。 她的血液中总是有艺术。 早在俄罗斯设计学院毕业之前，她就作为肖像画家和绘画技术和绘画学习。 她参加了许多国家和国际艺术活动，享有重要和公共成功。 伊琳娜的画作结合了几何刺绣的身体的各种图像，似乎注定要分成几何图案，如三角形，圆形，菱形……每一个都是不同的，独特的，标志着质量之间不可分割的关系， 能量和光。

Irina Markova is a Russian-born painter who lives and works in Como, Italy. She has always had art in his blood.

Early on she studied as a portraitist and painting technique and drawing before graduating at the Institute of Design in Russia.

She has participated in numerous national and international artistic events, enjoying both critical and public success. Irina’s paintings combine the diverse images of a body covered with geometric embroidery that seem destined to break up into geometric designs such as like a triangle, a circle, a rhombus …

Each one is different and unique, marking the inseparable relationship between mass, energy and light.

Fonda uno dei primi laboratori per lo studio e l’applicazione delle più svariate forme d’arte in collaborazione con Cristina Giargia, amica da sempre, artista e compagna di vita. Il connubio delle loro espressioni è stato il focolaio di uno straordinario periodo di intensità artistica che va oltre i confini dell’arte intesa come semplice genio, e travalica tutt’oggi ogni frontiera di normale concezione “quotidiana”, per esplorare i più profondi e reconditi aspetti dell’essenza umana.

VITTORIA  SALATI

    Vittoria Salati

Vittoria Salati, nata sull’Appennino Parmense risiede e lavora a Cambiago (MI). E’ entrata nell’ambiente artistico da cui è rimasta coinvolta e catturata, grazie al marito Giovanni Mondadori estimatore di arte; in questo magico mondo ha incontrato importanti artisti contemporanei, che l’hanno stimolata a iniziare quindi una sua attività artistica basata su una tecnica inusuale .

Le opere di Vittoria Salati autodidatta infatti, si caratterizzano per essere incise a mano in ogni più piccolo particolare su tavola di legno, successivamente dipinte con colori acrilici, rappresentando molteplici soggetti, dalle figure nitide e ben definite e dai colori forti e decisi. Originale anche la cornice che è parte integrante della stessa tavola. Vittoria Salati出生于Parma Apennines，现居住在Cambiago（MI）。 她的丈夫乔瓦尼蒙达多利（Giovanni Mondadori）是一位伟大的艺术崇拜者，她被鼓励成为一名艺术家。 随后，她继续与许多重要的当代艺术家见面，其中许多艺术家以一种不寻常的技巧为基础，激励她开始她的艺术活动。 她的作品主要是自学成才，其特点是在木桌上用细致的手工雕刻，然后涂上丙烯颜料。 这部作品代表了多个主题，具有清晰明确的数字和强烈而果断的色彩。 框架是同一桌子的组成部分，也是原创的。

Vittoria Salati was born in the Parma Apennines and now lives and works in Cambiago (MI). She was encouraged to become an artist  by her husband, Giovanni Mondadori, a great admirer of all art. In time she went on to meet many important contemporary artists, many of whom stimulated her to start her artistic activity based on an unusual technique. Her work, largely self-taught, is characterized by detailed, hand-made engravings on wooden tables, and then painted with acrylic colors. The work represents multiple subjects, with clear and well-defined figures and strong and decisive colors. The frames, which are an integral part of the same table, are also original.

Fausto Nazer

Fausto Nazer

    Fausto Nazer nasce a Venasca (CN) nel 1966, dove tuttora risiede, e fin da piccolo sente già una forte inclinazione per il disegno e le arti figurative. A questo mondo si avvicina da autodidatta, attraverso ricerche ed indagini pittoriche ed arriva nel 1993 alla sua prima esposizione. Ha esposto a Londra,Roma, Bueon Aires, Montecarlo..La pittura di Nazer emoziona grazie alla  sua presa diretta con l’osservatore e si materializza in tutta la sua concretezza rivelando la sensibilità  pittorica che c’è dietro, nonché gli anni di studio e di approfondimento che sono stati essenziali. Dal  paesaggio a figure femminili solitarie colte in un attimo di intimo raccoglimento. Da gruppi di impiegati all’uscita dal lavoro a coppie di amanti che, incuranti della pioggia, si baciano romanticamente. Dietro  campeggia la metropoli, rassicurante e grigia presenza che non si impone ma che accompagna scorci di vita rubati da un occhio esperto e abituato a saper non solo guardare ma anche riprodurre, senza mai  tradire la serena sensibilità che gli appartiene.

Fausto Nazer于1966年出生于韦纳斯卡（CN），他仍然在那里生活。

即使作为一个年轻人，他也对绘画和视觉艺术产生强烈的冲动。 他花了很多时间研究他创造的视觉世界。 这导致他在1993年的第一次展览。从那时起，他在伦敦，罗马，Bueon Aires，Montecarlo展出了他的作品。

Nazer的绘画激发了想象力，吸引观众进入一个高度敏感和吸引人的世界。

他的风景，孤独的女性形象陷入了一个亲密回忆的时刻，在雨中亲吻的恋人。

这是一种令人安心和灰色的存在，并没有强加给自己，而是伴随着专家眼睛偷偷摸摸的生活瞥见，这种眼睛不仅要看，而且要重现，而不会背叛其核心的宁静敏感。

Fausto Nazer was born in Venasca (CN) in 1966, where he still lives.

Even as a young man he felt a strong urge to drawing and visual arts. He has spent a good deal of time studying the visual world he has created. This lead to his first exhibition in 1993. Since then, he has exhibited his work in London, Rome, Bueon Aires, Montecarlo.

Nazer’s painting excites the imagination and draws the viewer into a highly sensitive and appealing world.

His landscapes, solitary female figures caught in a moment of intimate recollection, the lovers who kiss in the rain.

It is a reassuring and gray presence that does not impose itself but accompanies glimpses of life stolen by an expert eye that knows not only to look but also to reproduce, without ever betraying the serene sensitivity that is at its core.

L’artista ligure usa colori tenui e chiari con macchie insolite che illuminano l’aspetto carnale dei personaggi dipinti e usa la sua conoscenza storica per dargli la vita o la morte che meritano.

 Dipinge cavalli che sembrano nuvole tra le nuvole e raccontano storie per chiarire la loro umanità. Un pittore che un tempo affrescò le pareti dello studio di Fabrizio De Andrè, dal quale apprese i toni musicali che poi trasfuse nelle sue opere. Nella sua lunga carriera artistica ha esposto in numerose mostre collettive e personali.

Le sue opere fanno parte di collezioni pubbliche e private.

Wishing wall

Hartslane is a former derelict space turned community gallery, where artists and local people unite to share ideas, work on projects and be inspired

 WORDS BY ALICE TROY-DONOVAN

 At a quiet intersection of streets in the Hatcham area of New Cross Gate, 100 Delft blue tiles are mounted on to a plain brick wall. Together, they form one large, striking square, held together by simple blue and white designs, made for and by residents of the local neighbourhood.

“It’s a collective record of desire,” says Tisna Westerhof, one of the organisers behind the project, titled the 100 Wishes of Hatcham. “Each tile tells a different story of hope or aspiration for the local area.”

The wall is positioned where Hart’s Lane meets Hatcham Park Road, behind a large TK Maxx and no more than 20 metres from Hartslane, the gallery that Tisna helps run with Cristiana Bottigella and Sigrun Sverrisdottir.

The project collates tiles that are painstakingly hand-painted, fired and carefully assembled by a team of local residents and artists. The depictions in each six by six-inch tile are as eclectic as the people who made them: messages of reassurance, inherited words of wisdom, urban cityscapes in miniature, single flowers and trees conjoined by hearts.

“Each tile has this individual power and energy,” says Tisna – an artist herself and, like Cristiana and Sigrun, also a resident of New Cross Gate – “but it becomes so much more than the sum of its parts.”

The popping blue colour of the wall catches the eye from afar, offering a reason for people to stop, look and chat with other passersby.

“Rain or whatever, you see people stopping here,” says Tisna, who adds that the tile wall – which was officially unveiled on 12 October – “has already had an effect on people, who take it with them during the day”.

The gallery itself, which opened in a council-owned and formerly derelict building in 2012, was intended to have a similar effect on the local neighbourhood.

“New Cross Gate seemed to be between everything,” says Cristiana, who had moved to the area from Italy three years previously and was using her own house for small exhibitions and art-related events at the time.

“With Goldsmiths being very strongly present on the south side of New Cross Road, there was barely anything on the other side. We wanted to bridge the gap and to have something that was a meeting point through the arts.”

They also wanted to help reverse the trend of local spaces either being neglected or “regenerated”, often to make way for private housing. The Hartslane building was earmarked for a housing development before the political group People Before Profit intervened, as part of their campaign to use council-owned derelict properties to house families. However, it was deemed unsuitable for living in.

“The building was never used for housing people – it was originally a stables for changing horses on the route from London to Dover,” says Cristiana. “New Cross used to be where the turnpike gate into London was – hence the ‘Gate’.” More recently, it served a different mode of transport as a motorcycle repair shop, before falling into disuse.

What won Lewisham Council over to the trio’s vision was their ethos that t he galle y “was not oing to b a space just for us”. When H rtslane was no Instagram e women publicised the new ommu ity arts spa e a d arti ts’ stu i s by istributi g ostca ds usi g shop in oolwich to p int 2,500 fo 50.

Tis a s ys this very old s hool app oach pa d off t ey qu ickly became “a point of interest” for the local neighbourhood. “As a building it’s in the perfect position,” she says. “At the beginning, we were organising a lot of events with lots of people gathering at the front. Since then we’ve hosted hundreds of exhibitions and art events.”

They were also receiving daily requests from art students to take up residencies at the studios. As artists, Cristiana, Tisna and Sigrun had first-hand experience of the hierarchical nature of the gallery system.

“You either have to be invited somewhere or you have to pay,” says Tisna. Together, they felt a need for “sharing and exchange, and experimenting in an environment that is not pressurised by money”.

“We [now] have students coming from all the colleges in London and some from outside of London – Slade, Chelsea, Wimbledon, Kingston, Central St Martins, Goldsmiths, Camberwell – but we also have established artists looking for a space to experiment or engage with the community [surrounding the gallery],” says Cristiana.

The residencies last for six months and are shaped by a “socially engaged theme” set by the three women. Artists and curators are invited to respond to the brief and submit a proposal for an exhibition or art project, generally lasting between three days and two weeks.

“The first one was actually born just after [the vote for] Brexit came about,” says Tisna, adding that all three of them are non-British (she is Dutch, Cristiana Italian, and Sigrun Icelandic).

It was called United We Stand and encouraged collaborative work – not only between artists, but “where the arts mixed in with the normal world”.

Other themes – Phenomenal Woman, That’s Me; Unseen & Unspoken; Artists and Mental Health – sought to constructively address “an old structure that we felt wasn’t quite right” while envisioning an alternative. “Hartslane is really a place to dream as well.”

This sentiment epitomises the 100 Wishes of Hatcham project, which involved five workshops in spaces where local people were congregating anyway: All Saints Church and Community Centre; The Five Bells pub; a scout group and local playground; and an over-60s fun club.

“Not only were the 100 people working under the same brief, and united by the blue and white technique, but for us it’s also a connector to different countries, different cultures,” says Tisna.

“The technique came from China, spreading through Europe to England. I find that a beautiful metaphor.”

Other Hartslane projects centre on making things that are then gifted to the communities they come from. When we speak, they are finishing Stitching Time, a project connecting 60 to 70 primary school children in Lewisham with older people in three care homes, particularly those with dementia.

“We took the children to visit the care homes and interview older people about their lives, what they like, what they used to do,” explains Tisna. “Then, back in school, we led sewing and embroidery workshops with the children, to make memory cushions that were given back to the older people.”

With the 100 Wishes project supported by the mayor of London’s Culture Seeds programme, they hope to secure funding to bring it to different locations.

“We believe it’s applicable to anywhere and anyone, really,” says Cristiana. “The idea is to encourage imagination and rethinking of spaces. We are so used to [the pattern of] ‘old, redeveloped, new’. Regeneration is always like that in London. We just wanted to stop for a moment, invite people to think again and be imaginative.”

[tmnotizie]

MACERATA –  L’Associazione Amici di Palazzo Buonaccorsi e delle Istituzioni Culturali del Territorio presenta il progetto “IN DOMUM” dell’artista Adinda Putri-Palma (Matelica 1986) selezionato dal bando nazionale “Per Chi Crea”, promosso dal MIBACT e gestito da SIAE, che destinano il 10% dei compensi a supporto della creatività e della promozione culturale dei giovani. Il 17 luglio scorso il Consiglio di Gestione SIAE ha deliberato i vincitori dei 449 progetti beneficiari suddivisi in quattro bandi tra cui quello per le Nuove opere. IN DOMUM rientra tra i sette vincitori nella sezione Arti Visive.

“L’associazione “Amici di Palazzo Buonaccorsi e delle istituzioni culturali del territorio” – interviene Paola Ballesi presidente dell’associazione –  in linea con la sua mission, oltre ad affiancare e coadiuvare le iniziative di Istituti culturali, Enti locali e Fondazioni per contribuire alla più ampia diffusione e all’uso pubblico dell’eredità culturale del territorio e alla sua valorizzazione, promuove tutta una serie di iniziative per favorire, monitorare e sondare la gestazione e l’affermazione di forme e visioni di contemporaneità.

Tra le più significative vorrei segnalare  il Premio Pannaggi/ Nuova Generazione, il ciclo di Incontri sull’arte e dintorni e la recente partecipazione alla candidatura al Premio MIBACT-SIAE “Per chi crea”. Essere stati selezionati tra i sette vincitori, su scala nazionale,  aggiudicandoci una somma considerevole e un prestigioso riconoscimento per una giovane artista del nostro territorio, non solo gratifica il nostro impegno ma  ci sollecita a continuare sulla strada intrapresa.

Stimolare e valorizzare  il tessuto creativo e le attività legate alla diffusione e allo sviluppo dell’Arte Contemporanea nelle particolari espressioni che la nostra Regione di volta in volta declina nel campo delle arti visive e applicate vuol dire infatti liberare energia creativa  a sostegno della nostra cifra identitaria e del Made in Marche.”

Il progetto ha il patrocinio del Comune di Macerata, Comune di Recanati, Comune di Matelica, città appartenenti alla rete del MaMa – Marca Maceratese, creata dopo il sisma del 2016 per valorizzare e promuovere il territorio e il patrimonio artistico.

“La rete di MaMa  – afferma l’assessore alla Cultura del Comune di Macerata Stefania Monteverde – nasce per valorizzare il nostro patrimonio culturale e paesaggistico con uno spirito di comunità tra Comuni e di collaborazione con le associazioni del territorio. Siamo  contenti che la rete Marca Maceratese diventi sempre più  distretto culturale e creativo, capace di intercettare nuove risorse  per far crescere nuovi progetti culturali e nuove relazioni.”

“La città di Recanati ha un ruolo centrale poiché l’Annunciazione di Lorenzo Lotto, parte della Collezione del Museo Villa Colloredo Mels, è una delle opere che ha ispirato lo studio per la parte pittorica dell’istallazione, mantenendo un referente con le esperienze del Bauhaus (casa del costruire) e delle avanguardie storiche. Come spiega l’artista nel progetto.

“Nel 2016 sono accaduti due fatti straordinari che hanno instillato in me la necessità di parlare dell’abitare e del vivere/fare casa con un progetto artistico; un viaggio in bicicletta di 7000 Km attraverso l’Europa per tornare a casa nelle Marche e il terremoto che ha colpito il centro Italia nel 2016. Con questo lavoro vorrei mettere in moto una riflessione sulla cultura dell’abitare ed il concetto di casa rapportata al contesto post-sisma delle Marche offrendo spunti per un percorso costruttivo alternativo.”

Il dipinto del Lotto, oltre a rispondere alla tradizione pittorica del territorio, rappresenta meglio di chiunque altro il “terremoto emotivo” che investe la Madonna – e di riflesso il gatto – nel momento in cui appare l’angelo mentre Dio attraversa l’arco della stanza con un tuffo, scuotendo il tranquillo ambiente domestico.

“Sono molto felice che Recanati sia stata scelta come luogo d’esposizione per questo importante progetto d’arte contemporanea – afferma Rita Soccio assessora alle Culture, Turismo, Pubblica Istruzione di Recanati -. Il legame che l’artista ha ricercato nel suo progetto con la tela dell’Annunciazione del Lotto è al tempo stesso intimo, nella ricerca artistica personale e universale, nella sensibilizzazione verso i temi ecologici e della bioedilizia.

Questa esposizione è anche l’occasione per analizzare la pittura tonale veneta e riflettere sulla figura e le opere di Lorenzo Lotto che ha lasciato nelle Marche. Ringrazio l’Associazione Amici di Palazzo Buonaccorsi che si spende per progetti di valorizzazione di giovani e dell’arte contemporanea, la rete del MaMa che dimostra come l’arte sia un collante fondamentale di tutte le nostre Comunità.”

L’artista nel 2014 inizia a lavorare come Pittore assistente presso SCIENCE (UK) Ltd lo studio di produzione dell’artista britannico Damien Hirst. Dal 2017 Adinda ha instaurato la sua base operativa sull’Appenino umbro-marchigiano dove vive e lavora.

La realizzazione dell’opera è connessa al progetto di autocostruzione familiare in bioedilizia della sua attuale casa, in collaborazione con l’associazione A.R.I.A, nel borgo di Braccano a Matelica (MC) avviato da poco e destinato a ospitare uno studio artistico indipendente.

IN DOMUM consiste in un’installazione ambientale, un volume ad arco autoportante (H.3,60 x L. 3m P.1m) che sovrasta un’apertura percorribile, costruita con i materiali edili della Bioarchitettura, legno e paglia, argilla, calce e pigmenti. Al momento l’artista, sta visitando i musei marchigiani in cui sono conservati i dipinti del grande artista veneto, per svolgere una ricerca cromatica “lottesca”, con cui creare un campionario utile alla propria composizione pittorica.

L’opera sarà esposta negli spazi espositivi del Palazzo Comunale di Recanati dal 28 marzo al 19 aprile 2020. In seguito sarà ospitata dal Comune di Matelica.

“Ci tenevo molto ad essere presente in quanto stimo molto la famiglia Palma, conosco in particolare il babbo e la mamma di Adinda. E’ una famiglia speciale di Matelica e per Matelica – interviene il sindaco di Matelica Massimo Baldini -. La figlia non poteva essere da meno. Lo dimostra anche il fatto che ha vinto il bando nazionale “Per chi crea” con il progetto in Domum. Adinda svolge la sua attività creativa a Braccano, una deliziosa frazione di Matelica.

La località è nota per i murales che la adornano, ma anche perché è la porta verso i sentieri che conducono all’Abbazia di Santa Maria di Roti, alla gola di Iana e al parco naturale del monte Canfaito e del monte San Vicino. Luoghi ricchi di storia e di bellezze naturali.

Il posto ideale per trovare l’ispirazione e creare cose eccezionali. È un piacere ed un onore avere una cittadina di questo valore, senza dubbio arricchisce l’album delle persone illustri della città di Matelica e non solo. Come primo cittadino mi congratulo con Adinda Putri Palma e mi riservo di incontrarla quanto prima nella sede comunale per un doveroso saluto istituzionale. Un grazie lo rivolgo a chi ha promosso e gestito il bando, Mibact e Siae, e chi lo ha presentato l’Associazione Amici di Palazzo Buonaccorsi di Macerata. Un grazie sincero all’artista Adinda Putri Palma ed un augurio per un ricco futuro.”

A fare le veci del sindaco nella conferenza stampa di oggi pomeriggio, venerdì 13 dicembre, è stato l’assessore alla Cultura del Comune di Matelica  Giovanni Ciccardini che, sulla stessa lunghezza d’onda del sindaco Baldini, ha avuto parole di stima nei confronti dell’artista e sull’importanza per la città di Matelica di ospitare la sua opera e ha ribadito  come dsia fondamentale per i Comuni del territorio fare rete.

Per la parte fotografica sono previste mostre in gallerie italiane e europee. Molto interessante sarà il catalogo con testi istituzionali e testi critici in italiano e inglese e soprattutto il contributo fotografico dell’artista che mostrerà le varie fasi lavorative.

Durante il periodo di lavorazione sono previsti degli Open Studio con lo scopo di incontrare e conoscere la ricerca dell’artista. Il primo è stato organizzato il 19 novembre con gli studenti dell’Accademia Belle Arti Macerata, il secondo è previsto per venerdì 13 dicembre in Località Braccano di Matelica presso il Centro Studi e Museo della Resistenza Don Enrico Pocognoni alle ore 19 e sarà aperto al pubblico e ai visitatori interessati al tema ecologico dell’autocostruzione e della bioedilizia, al fine di sensibilizzare la società civile alla comprensione e realizzazione dell’opera.

Libri| Storia dell’Arte della cartapesta

  L’arte della cartapesta in Occidente è, senza dubbio, un’eccellenza della cultura italiana, anche se in passato è stata poco studiata e per questo è ancora quasi sconosciuta. La causa principale del disinteresse è dovuta alla sua materia che, originata da umili stracci, è ritenuta una sostanza vile e quindi inadatta alla produzione di opere d’arte. L’autore del libro esamina tutti i motivi che hanno causato lo scarso interesse da parte degli studiosi per quest’arte e demolisce il preconcetto della poca affidabilità della materia cartacea alla produzione di opere d’arte. Flammia, che è anche lui stesso un maestro della cartapesta, attraverso un esame rigoroso e meticoloso rivaluta l’arte della cartapesta dalle prime sperimentazioni nelle botteghe toscane alla metà del ‘400 sino all’arte moderna. Vengono così esaminate con passione e competenza le opere degli artisti del passato e di quelli moderni, che hanno creato opere d’arte di cartapesta di grande rilievo, come Jacopo della Quercia, Donatello, Antonio Rossellino, Benedetto da Maiano, Desiderio da Settignano, Jacopo Sansovino, Ferdinando Tacca, Beccafumi, Bernini, Algardi, Angelo Gabriello Piò, Sanmartino, sino a Dubuffet e agli ultimissimi sperimentatori. L’autore non tralascia di esaminare anche gli artisti meno noti al pubblico soprattutto quelli che hanno apportato delle novità tecniche, analizzando inoltre le loro opere in ogni forma espressiva. L’autore analizza ancora l’affermazione di questa attività artistica e le ragioni che hanno determinato la sua espansione nelle regioni italiane, in altri paesi europei e nelle Americhe. Al confronto con la precedente pubblicazione del 2011 (Storia dell’arte della cartapesta- la tecnica universale), Flammia in questo nuovo studio, più organico e più rigoroso dal punto di vista filologico, affronta anche temi come l’arte della cartapesta e della mistura in Sicilia, ivi compreso l’utilizzo della materia cartacea negli allestimenti festivi importanti. Nello studio meticoloso di Flammia emerge inoltre un patrimonio demo antropologico straordinario, dai giocattoli alle arti applicate, dalle suppellettili agli allestimenti scenici ed effimeri. L’autore evidenzia la duttilità della cartapesta utilizzata persino nell’edilizia e nella produzione di imbarcazioni. La chiesa di Bergen in Norvegia (1793), costruita con materiale cartaceo e la canoa di carta con cui l’esploratore Nathaniel Holmes Bishop intraprende un lungo viaggio dal Quebec al Golfo del Messico (1874), sono tra le molteplici peculiarità del libro che lo rendono unico nell’ambito della editoria d’arte.

Antonio Rossellino, Madonna col Bambino, cartapesta, Massa Fermana (FM), Museo Civico.

Il libro sarà presentato al pubblico della Capitale il 16 febbraio alle ore 17,00 presso la Fondazione Besso di Largo di Torre Argentina, 11.  I relatori saranno gli storici e critici d’arte Claudio Strinati e Nicoletta Cardano. Coordinerà i lavori lo scrittore e storico del cinema italiano Ennio Bispuri.

  Ezio Flammia artista e scenografo, maestro della cartapesta. Ha realizzato scenografie e costumi per 22 opere teatrali e ha collaborato all’allestimento di varietà in prima serata per Rai  Rete 2. Ha restaurato importanti opere di cartapesta per il Museo Nazionale delle Arti e Tradizioni Popolari di Roma. Sue opere fanno parte delle collezioni dei musei: Museo Histórico Nacional di Santiago del Cile; Museu do Cinema di Lisbona; Museo Naz. delle Arti e Tradizioni Popolari di Roma; Museo d’arte delle generazioni italiane del ‘900 di Pieve di Cento; Museo d’arte moderna e dell’informazione di Senigallia; Galleria d’arte moderna di Monreale; Fondazione “G. Boldini”di Mogliano Veneto; Museo della Fondazione “Casa di Dante in Abruzzo” di Torre de’ Passeri. Nel 1996 ha ricevuto presso la Camera dei Deputati il premio internazionale alla carriera per le arti, La Plejade. È autore di :

Maschere di stoffa, di ferro. Mito materia e ragione, Roma, 1996; Storia dell’arte della cartapesta – La tecnica universale, Roma, 2011; Fare cartapesta e scultura di stoffa, Dino Audino Editore, Roma 2014

Milano: Apre al pubblico “FuturLiberty”, la mostra che indaga le connessioni tra Futurismo e Liberty

Milano: Apre al pubblico “FuturLiberty”, la mostra che indaga le connessioni tra Futurismo e Liberty. Apre al pubblico mercoledì 5 aprile la mostra “FuturLiberty”, promossa da Comune di Milano – Cultura e realizzata dal Museo del Novecento e Palazzo Morando | Costume Moda Immagine, in collaborazione con Liberty e la casa editrice Electa. L’esposizione, con la curatela scientifica di Ester Coen e la direzione artistica di Federico Forquet per i tessuti, approfondisce le vicende del movimento futurista in un inedito raccordo tra pittura e arti applicate nelle due sedi dell’Area Musei d’Arte moderna e contemporanea del Comune di Milano. Le opere dei protagonisti del movimento futurista, Giacomo Balla, Gino Severini, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà e Fortunato Depero dialogano con i dipinti vorticisti degli inglesi coevi, come Percy Wyndham Lewis e Christopher Nevinson, partendo dal manifesto Vital English Art del 1914 firmato dalla “caffeina d’Europa”, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Questi artisti hanno rappresentato, a loro volta, la fonte di ispirazione che ha guidato Federico Forquet e il design team di Liberty nella creazione di due nuove collezioni. Le avanguardie ispiratrici del Futurismo e Vorticismo esprimono la rottura con il passato attraverso uno sguardo acuto verso il futuro, influenzando la cultura che si manifesta nel costume e in tutte le forme del quotidiano. Forza, energia, dinamismo sono elementi che rispecchiano la vitalità delle forme che in diverse epoche hanno accompagnato lo slancio creativo dei designer di Liberty. Il progetto conta oltre 200 opere nelle due sedi. Al Museo del Novecento la mostra si sofferma sull’interdisciplinarità dei movimenti d’avanguardia. Un viaggio inedito e affascinante in otto sezioni, attraverso Futurismo e Vorticismo con opere fondamentali della collezione del Museo del Novecento, di cui 15 importanti autori come Boccioni, Balla, Severini e Carrà, insieme ad altri prestiti provenienti da prestigiose istituzioni italiane e internazionali tra le quali MART di Rovereto, GAM di Torino, Banca d’Italia, Tate, British Council, Estorick Collection, Ben Uri Gallery and Museum, William Morris Gallery di Londra, Sainsbury Centre di Norwich, messe a confronto con i design delle collezioni Liberty. Inoltre, un approfondimento è dedicato alle architetture Liberty di Milano con la proiezione di immagini degli edifici ‘in stile’ della città. Un percorso che affianca le architetture e decorazioni con i disegni dell’archivio londinese, sottolineando l’influenza stilistica dei motivi floreali e geometrici in uno stretto legame fra le due città. A Palazzo Morando | Costume Moda Immagine l’accento è posto sulla creatività che caratterizza la storia di Liberty e dei suoi designer di ieri e di oggi. Per la prima volta, dopo la mostra al Victoria&Albert Museum di Vienna che nel 1975 ne ha celebrato il centenario, saranno esposti in sette sale dipinti, disegni, arazzi, stoffe, arredi, fotografie e un’ampia selezione di materiali inediti dall’archivio di Liberty, a partire dalla collaborazione con William Morris. La mostra illustra le influenze che hanno caratterizzato il percorso di alcuni maestri, fra cui William Morris, Bernard Nevill e Federico Forquet, e le idee, che nelle diverse epoche hanno ridisegnato il futuro guardando al passato. Il tessuto collega l’inizio e la fine del viaggio attraverso forme, colori, pattern e rifrazioni di luce. La mostra è accompagnata da una guida del percorso espositivo al Museo del Novecento e a Palazzo Morando | Costume Moda Immagine pubblicata da Electa, a cura di Ester Coen.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

He was, in fact, a mass killer of the local First People, whose stories of his extreme violence endure in todays oral history. Indeed, McMillans very own family has been at the forefront, recently, of demythologising him; in 2016, his great, great, great niece, Scottish journalist Cal Flyn, published the truth about her forebears involvement in massacring Gippslands Indigenes in her book, Thicker Than Water.

5 best boutique hotels in Rome

History abounds in Rome, and that truism is equally applicable to the Eternal City’s many historic hotels. Unfortunately, like the city itself, many of these storied houses of slumber are looking a little tired and rough around the edges these days. Savvy travellers, however, know that the city is also home to a burgeoning range of sleek, sexy design-savvy hotels. Here are five boutique properties to check into next time you’re enjoying your very own Roman holiday.

Portrait Roma

A stone’s throw from the iconic Spanish Steps, Portrait Roma is a swanky secret tucked above ritzy Via dei Condotti. A favourite of the Mr and Mrs Smith collection, this property gets serious designer cred from its owners – that would be the Salvatore Ferragamo empire – and a sophisticated aesthetic created by Michele Bonan. Opulent furniture and stylish black, white and grey tones adorn all 14 suites, along with quality linens, a well-stocked kitchenette, flatscreen TVS. The beautifully old-school Carrera marble bathroom come stocked with – what else? – Salvatore Ferragamo amenities. But, as always, it’s the little things that count. There are conscientious staff offering highly personalised, discreet service. Guests have iPads filled with very local sights, shops and restaurants to inspire their Roman holiday. And there’s even a sun-drenched rooftop offering a decadent breakfast buffet and bespoke aperitivos with sweeping views over La Citta Eterna.

The Fifteen Keys

The Fifteen Keys

Boho-chic Monti, an up-and-coming neighbourhood sandwiched between the Coliseum and the Termini train station, plays home to an elegant townhouse property masterminded by owners Sara Ferrajoli and Vincenvo Mirisola di Torresanto. Ring the bell and step into a bright, urban retreat where aesthetics by Antonio Girardi blend 21st century luxury with gorgeous vintage fittings – think old-school Dudebike bicycles for guests. Each of the 15 rooms are dressed in calming colors, and come with exposed brickwork, goodie-filled minibars, USB points, and Malin + Goetz toiletries. Book the Terrace Blue Room so if you can’t get down to the alfresco courtyard you can at least enjoy breakfast on your private balcony.

Grand Hotel Palace

Grand Hotel Palace

A former diplomatic enclave occupying prime position on historic Via Veneto, the Grand Hotel Palace is still fit for the most high-ranking statesmen. A member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the 1920s-era property effortlessly blends refined, classic style with touches of whimsy. Marble and Murano chandeliers are nonchalantly juxtaposed against quirky furniture and splashes of pink. And then there are the 87 Art Deco-esque rooms dressed in candy-strip wallpaper and fitted with flatscreens, designer furniture, and huge marble bathrooms with amenities by New York’s C.O Bigelow. Nab the 5th floor corner Executive Suite and you’ll also find extra lounge space and a sunkissed terrace.

Start your mornings with a lavish breakfast amidst the gorgeous Guido Cadorin frescos at the elegant Ristorante Cadorin, and end your days with aperitivos on the terrace of Pieros Bistro. If you find time, take a dip in the saltwater pool, and indulge in a massage at the Thai-inspired Kami Spa.

Crossing Condotti

Crossing Condotti

Hidden on a sidestreet of super-swish Via dei Condotti, this boutique beauty feels like crashing at your impossibly chic Roman friend’s apartment. Only, with the added benefit of extremely knowledgeable (almost 24/7) staff. With eight rooms tucked into two floors of a luxe centro storico building, this Mr and Mrs Smith property has a decidedly B&B feel, but with the sophistication and service of a much bigger luxury hotel. True to the building it occupies, aesthetics here blend antiquity and modernity with original 19th century tallboys with mod-con technologies and exposed wood beams with arty lamps. Each cozy room is dressed in shades of grey, beige and white and comes with personal touches like old family portraits and L’Occitane amenities. Check into the Vittoria Master Room – one of the suites in the two-room apartment upstairs – and you’ll also get an iPad, a full-range kitchenette, and a bathroom sporting an indulgent chromotherapy shower.

G-Rough

G-Rough

Like Rome itself, what G-Rough lacks in trussed up polish it makes up for with character to spare. Fitting, since it’s a member of Design Hotels. Hidden behind bustling Piazza Navona, this hipster-friendly hotel is a tribute to easy, breezy deconstructed Italian style. The décor here incorporates original features like sloping wooden roofs and patina walls and vintage Italian furniture by designers like Ico Parsini. Bursting with irrepressible flair, the 10 suites here all feature separate lounges and glamorous bathrooms, but for a super luxe experience, treat yourself to the Romantic Suite Rome which comes complete with an original Gio Ponti bar, a 40s-inspired mirrored-tile bathroom by Seletti, and a cozy private terrace. Knowledgeable lifestyle managers will share the best of local Rome with you, and when you come back, grab a drink at the G-Bar wine gallery where you’ll find niche Italian wines and art installations curated by Guendalina Salini.
