Gigi Cifali - Absence of Water
Exhibitions, Italy, Ascoli Piceno, San Benedetto del Tronto, 26 February 2012
On Sunday 26th february Marconi Gallery and Design? Studio Associato present Absence of Water, a Gigi Cifali sole exposition organized in cooperation with the Gallery Il ritrovo di Rob Shazar of Sant'Agata De' Goti (BN). The exhibition will be opened at 6.00 p.m. At Design? Studio Associato, 36 D'Annunzio st. San Benedetto del Tronto. The event is cured by Dario Ciferri.

Gigi Cifali sole exposition is the second appointment of Traditeci pure...ma non lasciateci soli (Be unfaithful well ...but don't leave us alone), it's the series of expositions organized by Marconi Gallery for 2011/2012 season.
Thanks to the cooperation with Design? Marconi Gallery arrives to San Benedetto del Tronto and puts on a new space, dedicated to contemporary art which joins the historical one of Cupra Marittima. " Be unfaithful well... but don't leave us alone!" is the title of the project born from the fortunate meeting. The idea is to spread on the regional area the passion for art and design, two worlds often getting close and enjoying to mix. Marconi Gallery so goes on with its art promotion outside its traditional space, trying other spaces besides its usual ones. Design? Associated Study aims to go over the limits of an architectural study in order to become culture promoter and offering so new perspectives to the ones attending its spaces..
Sharing the same criticism for research about visual arts, architecture and design, the cooperation starts a new course of studying and experimentation analyzing and reworking our reality.

"Absence of Water is a project through which Gigi Cifali is documenting the state of decay of some baths, pools and lidos in the United Kingdom.They were places in vogue, fundamental for the life till the thirties of XX Century. With the changing of habits they have been abandoned, often demolished too, because they were becoming uneconomic. The project gives us the possibility to reflect on water: on its function and the importance it has for man and society development and grouth. Water determines the welth, it' s indispensable to live and its lack inexorabily leads to ruin, exactly as happened to these pools. These architectures , trough their charm, show us the time irreversible action, the ruin, the sense of emptiness that surrounds and fills them. Yet they are testimony and memory of a not too far age, when they were places full of voices and laughter and the beating heart of life".(Dario Ciferri)

Be unfaithful to us well there are many things to see, art is a river receiving, recollecting, sedimenting and spreading.See the expositions, search for art, visit galleries, museums, contaminated sites, without any preconceptions but without any superficiality too. What's important is not being mistaken, loyalty and disloyalty often go together. Go ...but don't leave us alone.
