Cranach was a Humanist lived between 1472 and 1553; he represent, with Albrecht Durer, the great German panting of the XVI century. Close to the Fleming painting school and contaminated by the Italian techniques, his paintings, from the beginning of the XVI century start to suffer a particular change.

Posted in Fairs and festivals in Rome and province - September 14th, 2010
The Polish theatre talk about itself at the Theatre House of Rome. The exhibition called “All about Theatre in a poster. Poland 1989-2009” seems to be unusual for a middle artistic sensibility. Nevertheless a date (1989) in the title has to call back immediately an event into your mind: the Berlin Wall Fall. This is what this exhibition, lasting till October 17th, wants to tell to his public: the historical changes made by the Great Wall Fall in the Polish nation through the artistic theatre poster.
This exhibition tells about the society transformation caused by the Wall Fall through an expressive medium. From the XIX century to the Wall Fall the theatre posters was where the most famous artist and the censors ones had been able to express themselves in the same way, far away from the censorship bar.
After the Danzig Facts and the Berlin Wall Fall the posters became the main way for the expression of new artistic energies and languages: some names like Wieslaw Walkuski, Rafal Olbinski, Stasys Eidrigevicius mark the distance between the after ’89 production and the before ’89 production symbolized by some artists like Henryk Tomaszewski and Jan Levica, the famous author of “Wozzeck”.

De Dominicis at MAXXI in Rome
Posted in Events in Rome - September 7th, 2010
Till November 7th some Gino De Dominicis selected artworks will be hosted at MAXXI, the National Museum of XXI Century’s Fine Arts in Rome. This Italian Artist, one of the most controversial Italian character after the second world war, owes his celebrity to his capacity to steer clear of any artistic movement that defined the last 50 years of the Italian history. At the mean time painter, philosopher, architect and sculptor, De Dominicis had been able to maintain an unusual lifelong mystery halo on himself.
His art, defined by a fundamental techniques trans-contamination has often a deep philosophical meaning. One example is the “Immortality second solution (The motionless Universe)”, exhibited for in 1972 at the Venice Biennial in which you can find a Down’s syndrome plagued boy in a corner seating in front of an invisible cube, a rubber ball (falling from two meters height) in the moment before his ground bounce and a stone in movement waiting for. Another philosophical artwork, or event or installation, had been the cocktail organized in Rome in 1973 to celebrate the overtaking of the Second law of thermodynamics. (more…)

Mexico in Rome with Carlos Amorales
Posted in Exhibitions in Rome and surroundings - September 2nd, 2010
A Carlos Amorales exhibition will take place in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome from November 9th 2010 to February 27th 2011. Born in 1970, the famous Mexican artist, will exhibit his art in an unbroken continuity of six multimedia artworks, showing his production from 2006 to 2010. For his first appearance in the presence of the Italian public, Amorales will bring on stage his Liquid Archive through his artworks. This Liquid Archive represents an anthology of almost the totality of the Mexican artist’s production; it is a database of vector images gathered by Carlos Amorales since 1998: these images act as roots for the multimedia productions he lays before his public. In this way one image can be the source for a lot of multimedia productions such as video animations, paintings, sculptures or performaces: one soul for a real multi-media representation.
As the artist states in his book “Carlos Amorales: Liquid Archive, Why Fear The Future”, his artworks arise from the need to describe the troubles of living contemporaneously. Anyway what Amorales represents in his productions is not the picture of the contemporary social dynamics but an opposed escape from them: the simplify images of everyday reality become the cause of this escape towards a fantastic world.
