Exhibitions, Italy, Ascoli Piceno, San Benedetto del Tronto, 21 February 2010
After the successful exposition with Roberto Cicchinè, Armando Fanelli, Niba and Ivana Spinelli, Marconi Gallery of Cupra Marittima presents the second appointment of Marche Centro d'Arte on Sunday 21th February at 6.00 p.m.. The artists taking part to the second appointment are: Giovanni Gaggia, maicol & mirco, Gabriele Silvi, Rita Soccio and Rita Vitali Rosati. Critical text by Dario Ciferri, who is the curator too.
Marche Centro d'Arte is a project part of I don't know and I don't want to know. It is a programme of three expositions dedicated to the artistic Marche tturmoils. It has been proposed again after the success of last year. Marche Centro d'Arte aims to give evidence to a territory that presents a varietyof prospects, ideas and languages and it has turned this variety into an aspect of strenght and distinction.
“Contemporaneity is an important aspect which every artist must face and consider in his own work, either he accepts or refuses it. Marche Centro d'Arte starts from a well defined place, an area and it spreads out to something wider, a kind of reflection about the present time and about the sense of man inside it.
Giovanni Gaggia takes and touches the man's heart, he doesn't manipulate it but makes it real on the canvas, trying to know the human being, his energy, his inwardness and his soul.
A lost, alianated and alienating nature, a funny and hallucinated world comes into our sight with clear irony in the works by maicol and mirco. A kind of madness that isn't of our world, but which isn't too far from our fears.
Everything is sifted through the game in the works by Gabriele Silvi,. but it's a game showing always a broken mechanism, as if something was wrong in the amusement and now it was out of control.
Advertising now dictates all the rythms of our life and imposes times and values, Rita Soccio changes the sense of the product through ads and gives new messages to our consciousness.
Sorrow, sense of lack, a common suffering that goes together with every human being, Rita Vitali Rosati looks into the human soul and tells us the small and big shocks which are inside each one of us.” (Dario Ciferri)
I don't know and I don't want to know isn't just an answer, it's also a provocation, an attitude and, after all, a kind of agnosticism, that about art we could say cultural. It is a way to face the great questions about mankind: where do we come from? Where do we go? Why sorrow? Why baked potatoes are never enough?
An answer which is often convenient, sometimes upsetting. It expresses the will of ignorance, that is very far from the Socratic statement following which, the real wise man is the one who knows he doesn't know. There isn't any will for knowledge, no curiosity, only detachment and indifference.
This sentence is often made in front of an art proposal and it hurts a little. The one who says it may seem a bit out of the time, but he really is often one of the not too much silent majority.
It would now be legitimate to answer the question: why such a title for a program of expositions?
The answer is already in the title, after all.
