Exhibitions, Italy, Livorno, 10 November 2018
The artists invited to the project for the Sala del Piaggione dei Grani at the Livorno Fortress, have worked on the theme of the Stasi of Santa Caterina, in homage to the homonymous church in the Venice district, located near the Fortress in Piazza dei Domenicani.
Helen Broms Sandberg, Toni Alfano, Costabile Guariglia, Gianni Grattacaso, Paola De Gregorio, Maria D'Anna, Giorgia Madonno, Mauro Moriconi, Karin Pfifer, Sula Zmmerberger are the interpreters of the exhibition Estasi curated by Roberta Melasecca.
Ecstasy derives from the union of two Greek words: ἔκστασις, state of astonishment of the mind, and ἐξίστημι, going out of oneself. It can be defined as a particular form of psychological experience during which one has the impression that the mind abandons the body and enters other dimensions: a sort of separation from oneself and abstraction of natural abilities to arrive at particularly high states of consciousness. . From this historical and iconographic assumption, the association opens up to a comparison between the sacred and the profane through contemporary art with the c23 gallery in its nomadic transition that is transferred for the occasion to the historical site of the Livorno Fortress, with the exhibition Ecstasy, with the curatorship of Roberta Melasecca, who writes in the critical text: Toni Alfano lives, in the deep and intimate self, the memory and the almost immutable time; Helen Broms Sandberg goes into the sinuosity of memory and examines the powders of identity found in a collective and choral effort; Maria D'Anna breaks out from the solitude and the incombere of time, flees instant illusions; Paola De Gregorio interprets gestures and forms in an unlimited and reiterated territory, re-elaborates symbols and symbols; Gianni Grattacaso, tells of a dreamlike and fluctuating landscape, permeated by the silence of solitude; Costabile Guariglia invokes yearnings of freedom, flying over the fragmentation and tearing of human progress; Giorgia Madonno, inhabits another space, a thinking dimension that advances in the intimate wounds of the soul; Mauro Moriconi projects the observer into a future and futuristic vision; Karin Pfifer flies and hovers over an empty, anonymous projection screen, along an unattainable horizon; Sula Zimmeberger portrays the finite and infinite natural elements with patience and dedication.
A sensitive exhibition that bets to find its own interpretative path and an artistic key to face with awareness what is the journey of all human beings in the time that has been and will be.
