The project by Andrea Benetti entitled prehistoria CONTEMPORARY by Marco Bertolini, Federica Fontana, Marco Peresani, Matthew Romandini, Ursula Thun Hohenstein, sponsored by the University of Ferrara and the Museum System of the University, under the patronage of the Emilia Romagna Region and the Municipality Ferrara, consists of an exhibition of art by Andrea Benetti Neorupestre, inspired by the origins of Rock painting, supplemented by explanatory SEII archaeological finds (reproduced in exact copy) painted or carved by prehistoric man and found during excavations carried out in the recent decades by archaeologists of the University of Ferrara. The true artistic novelty of the project, in addition to the instructions of prehistoric works to contemporary works inspired by the Prehistory, consists of canvases by Andrea Benetti using residue obtained from the washing of the archaeological finds and other waste material from the excavations carried out in the soil layer dating back to the Paleolithic. In addition to works on canvas, they are exposed Neorupestri drawings, made on Montesanto card (a special paper produced by Benetti in the homonymous village, situated in the province of Ferrara). The basic spirit that animates the project, born of the creative research and intuition of Benetti, which focuses its attention on today's way of communicating, based sull'esasperata stylization of the images. He, in fact, it shows that the most common means of communication in use worldwide, interact with human beings through an iconography perceived by connecting with our two main senses: sight and hearing. Television, internet, smartphones, tablets, computers are now in mass use means by which we perceive and transmit the reality (or the illusion of it), right through those two senses, drawing closer to the way we communicate to the art of Prehistory . This is also why it will be an integral part of the exhibition the exhibition of copies of prehistoric works of art, made of stone and found during archaeological excavations of the University of Ferrara. Benetti on the concept that in Rock painting, albeit unconsciously, Homo sapiens had already outlined the future paths of the visual arts: that is, the figurative abstraction, symbolism and the conceptual.
