Exhibitions, Italy, Palermo, 14 November 2011
It will be hosted at the eighteenth-century historical building of the Poor of the Royal Hotel in Palermo, the exhibition entitled "Made in Sicily one hundred seventy-six artists tell you".
The exhibition curated by artist and historian of modern and contemporary Nicholas D'Alessandro, will be inaugurated on Monday, November 14, 2011 at 17.30. The exhibition, organized with scientific rigor, winds in the great halls of the main floor of the building - the size of each room 30x8x7 m - designed and built by Horace Ferret Palermo.
The building was begun in 1746 and inaugurated in 1772, represents the transition from Baroque to neoclassical affermatosi simple order in Palermo in the second half of the eighteenth century.
The exhibition is in a sort of wide-ranging survey of the diverse and varied artistic career of the Sicilian research in painting and sculpture, with the presence of some significant artistic figures disappeared for some years but by the active post-war period until today.
Why "Made in Sicily"
Let me clarify right away that the title of the exhibition "Made in Sicily" is an evocation of alleged regionalist localist values. But moving from a playful attitude that makes the verse to the Made in China, Made in Italy Made in Taiwan, Made in PRC, Made in Korea that does not give the idea of a market without borders but to any place of production. A title, for the avoidance of doubt, to indicate a province of this planet where logic merchant and consumer are the master to the reality of a humanity that survives and limps to extricate himself as best he can, in the way the capitalist system based on commercialization, also ideas to be clear.
Sicily, further clarification is good right from the start is any geographical area. Frontier land, a land of borrowed and all the adventures have Sicily as a political laboratory. Not just me saying it.
End of ideology, distortion of history, change of geography, ultimate destruction of architectural barriers and boundaries of states and peoples.
And we should perform in such conditions and order, mark the list of good and bad in their own territory without recognizable destinies of art? Willingly leave this thankless task censorious critics militants who play a role in media for the art market. We want to explore new approaches. A showcase of metaphorical figurative art in Sicily. This shows, in a space like The Chimneys, wants to be a kind of luxury housing, a showcase for the metaphorical figurative art in Sicily. Tries, with this first meeting, to show through the story of the same artists, the evolution (or involution) of the persistence figurative choices are not formal and accessions to the general misunderstanding of contemporary art, attempts to investigate the "question Southern "system of the arts in an area where the Sicilian cam still not fully explored and tested, then tries to examine the contribution of artists in the critical review in the center-periphery dialectic of globalization and the misunderstanding of the concept of contemporary ambiguous. Made in Sicily is not a thematic exhibition (an appointment theme) in the logic of belonging, of genres, of isms. Do not want to identify ways, is not looking for ..., it assumes the identification of values, much less want to take stock of the situation. Just between us, moreover, is unnecessary to think of it. Who would want?
