Photography, painting, sculpture, drawing, embroidery, installation and performance meet the Cloister of Voltorre to tell the love wrong. A long season of exhibitions dedicated to women opens with a strong theme, that of gender violence, that five of the artists more 'interesting and promising generation have decided to tell gently, in whispered tones, choosing to face the theme in a roundabout way, and silences suggestive gestures of love.
Save As, the photographic series that presents Alessandra Baldoni, was created as a tribute to the poets and writers of the past suicide death, from Virginia Woolf to Amelia Rosselli and Antonia Pozzi: clean images, built through a punctual staging of cinematic flavor, simple and yet very intense, built to symbolic elements. Non-violence, the act of possession crowds as oppression, then, but rather the result of the inability desperate loneliness ', the dark corridors and thin misunderstanding, death as tragic extreme longing for freedom'. Instead tell the denial of the traumatic experience ceramics Alice Olimpia Attanasio. Are candid female busts of neo-Renaissance flavor on which breaks the unexpected form of a disturbing element, which can 'be a bird nesting in your hair - bowed his beak to pierce the front - or a small missile embedded in the skull. Also designs, delicate, arise in the balance between singing and dark threat, creating a sense of disorientation and anxiety.
With its light tone, painting liquid, the stretch soft Jara Marzulli tells Malamore by contrast, through love, acceptance and embrace embodied by slight female figures. Girlfriends, sisters, mothers and daughters on his canvases reinforce the positive sense of the union, the 'sisterhood' saving, beside women beyond 'the delicacy of gestures reveal indomitable warriors; while the soft colors and backgrounds undefined pose the characters in limbo fairy, dreamlike, hovering between reality 'memory.
One woman - an aunt surrounded by an aura of sin, because 'guilty of being an actress and model in the puritans Fifties - and' the protagonist of the proposal by Florencia Martinez. Printed on colored cloth or silk, enhanced by frames padded fabric that wrap themselves around the subject, the images displace the contrast between the classical and the lack of a crucial detail. The eyes disappear, closing all communication with reality '. You and 'mouth to be replaced by vacuum, in a heartbreaking silent cry.
Three poets, Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton and the young Lebanese Joumana Haddad, it is women who Lacedra Giovanna puts at the center of his work. The faces of the first two authors confessional, declined in series of watercolors lightweight, tell the one hand and on the other the dissolution of the strenuous search of '. From the blows of the words Haddad, however, the artist recovers and reinterprets the horror of child brides. The aspirant, a performance inspired by the eponymous poem Plath, open 'the show on opening day, while a video will tell' the subtle drama of child abuse.
