Sabato 9 febbraio 2013 la Galleria Marconi, Design Studio Associato e Marche Centro d’Artepresentano Vigiliae Litoris mostra personale di Karin Andersen.
La mostra sarà inaugurata alle ore 18.00 presso gli spazi di Design? Studio Associato in via D’Annunzio n°36 a San Benedetto del Tronto. L’evento è a cura di Rebecca Delmenico, autrice anche del testo critico. Vigiliae Litoris fa parte degli eventi che si affiancano all’Expò di arte contemporanea di Marche Centro d’Arte.
La mostra sarà in parte realizzata all’interno degli spazi di Design? Studio Associato, e nei giorni dimartedì 5 e mercoledì 6 febbraio sarà possibile assistere a Karin Andersen che darà forma a una performance site specific di live painting. Per poter assistere alla performance gli orari sono i seguenti: 9-13 14-18.

“La Galleria Marconi e Design? Studio Associato accolgono un progetto inedito dell'artista tedesca Karin Andersen. Nota al pubblico per le sue figure teriomorfe che si muovono in ambienti trasmutati, in questa occasione l'artista renderà omaggio al Mare Adriatico con un grande dipinto che lo ritrarrà in tutto il suo straniante e mistico torpore invernale. L'opera sarà eseguita direttamente nello spazio espositivo nei giorni che precedono l'inaugurazione e consisterà in un monumentale ritratto di una squadra di insoliti guardiani, specie di bagnini mutanti, che sorvegliano la riva incuranti della tempesta che li assale. La Andersen cerca, attraverso questo affresco ironico e suggestivo, di stimolare un'ampia riflessione sul cambiamento climatico e sulle sue infauste conseguenze”.
(Rebecca Delmenico)
Grazie alla collaborazione con Design? Studio Associato la Galleria Marconi sbarca a San Benedetto del Tronto allestendo un nuovo spazio dedicato all'arte Contemporanea che si affianca a quello storico a Cupra Marittima. Alla base del secondo anno di collaborazione c’è sempre l’idea di diffondere sul territorio regionale la passione per l’arte e il design, due mondi che spesso si toccano e giocano a dialogare tra loro.
La Galleria Marconi continua così la sua operazione di promozione artistica all’esterno del proprio ambiente, sperimentando luoghi altri rispetto a quelli canonici dell’arte.
Design? Studio Associato si propone di superare i limiti di uno studio di architettura per diventare promotore di cultura e offrire nuove prospettive a chi frequenta i suoi spazi.
Accomunati dallo stesso spirito critico di ricerca, applicato alle arti visive, all’architettura e alla progettazione, la collaborazione vuole dare il via ad un nuovo percorso di studio e sperimentazione attraverso l’analisi e la rielaborazione della realtà che ci circonda.
“Ogni nuova stagione espositiva è come un nuovo inizio, un ripensare a quanto si è fatto per continuare a crescere sulle radici, si spera solide, che si sono messe. Arrivati alla soglia dei 18 anni (ma la maturità è ancora lontana a venire) voglio ringraziare quanti, magari solo per un attimo, un sorriso o una chiacchierata, si sono avvicinati all’attività della Galleria. Continuo a lavorare per l’arte, nonostante tutte le difficoltà, perché spero ancora che possa salvarci. Un abbraccio” (Franco Marconi)

English Version

On Saturday February 9th, the Marconi Gallery will open its new exhibition by German artist, Karin Andersen. The event is curated by Rebecca Delmenico, author of the critical text. "Vigiliae Litoris" is part of the events supported by the Contemporary art Expo of Marche Centro d'Arte.

Also shown will be a painting created at Karin Andersen's site specific performance of live painting. "Marconi Gallery and Design Associated Study support this new project of the german artist Karin Andersen. Known to the public for her animal-headed figures moving in environments transmuted, on this occasion the artist will pay tribute to the Adriatic Sea with a big painting that will portay it in all its astranging and mystic winter torpor. The work will be carried out directly in the exhibition space in the days before the   inauguration and it will be a monumental portrait of a team of unusual guardians, especially lifeguards mutants, who oversee the bank regardless of the storm that assails them. Karin Andersen   tries to stimulate a broad reflection on climate change and its dire consequences through this ironic and suggestive fresco." - (Rebecca Delmenico) 

Marconi Gallery arrives in San Benedetto del Tronto thanks to its cooperation with Design Associated Study and it sets up a new contemporary art space that joins the historic of Cupra Marittima, located in the region Marche. At the base of the second year of collaboration there is always the idea of ​​spreading the region's passion for art and design, two worlds that often touch and play dialogue. Marconi Gallery is continuing the process of artistic promotion outside its environment, experiencing places other than the canons of art. Design? Associated Study aims to overcome the limitations of an architectural firm to become a promoter of culture and offer new perspectives to those who attend its spaces. Sharing the same critical research, applied to the visual arts, architecture and design, this collaboration wants to kick off a new course of study and experimentation through the analysis and processing of the reality that surrounds us. 

"Every new exhibition season is like a new beginning, a re-think what we have done to continue to grow on the roots, hopefully solid, that have been put. Arrived at 18 years (but the maturity is still far ahead) I want to thank those who, even if only for a moment, a smile or a chat, have approached the work of the Gallery. I continue to work for art, despite all the difficulties, because I still hope that it can save us. A hug "(Franco Marconi)

7 Days - 7 Women: Interview with Actress Sabrina Impacciatore

  Photo by Rossella Vetrano On Day 6 of our series, 7 Days - 7 Women, in which we are profiling seven strong, talented women working as filmmakers, writers or visual artists, we talk with actress Sabrina Impacciatore about the diversity of her roles. Whether she's playing a devoted mother trying to protect her child, Jesus Christ's "Veronica" in Mel Gibson's controversial film, "Passion of the Christ" or a young woman coming of age, Impacciatore escapes into the life and mind of each character she takes on, sometimes so deeply that she believes she is actually them.   It's a fine line between reality and fiction, but she treads it carefully and anyone watching her performance benefits from her emotional connection to the character that she becomes. I spoke with Impacciatore at the 2010 Open Roads: New Italian Film series in New York City. We talked about her lifelong dream of becoming an actress. She also gave me some insight into the diff

The Rochester Global Short Film Series

Now in its fourth year, the Rochester Global Short Film Series is a celebration of world cinema. The first edition was held in Rochester, New York in March of 2020 just before the world paused for the global pandemic.  We pride ourselves in providing a platform for the voices and perspectives of independent filmmakers. Home of Eastman Kodak and nicknamed "The World's Image Center", Rochester has a long history of supporting the performing arts. It is the birthplace of numerous renowned artists including Oscar-winning actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Oscar-nominated actor John Lithgow, Oscar-nominated actor Robert Forster, actress Kristen Wiig and soprano Renée Fleming.  Silent film star Louise Brooks spent the last years of her life in Rochester writing her memoir, “Lulu in Hollywood.” Known for her independent spirit and displeasure with pretentiousness, she is one of the influences behind the event. The other influence is Susan B. Anthony, a women's rights activist wh

Anna Foglietta: Actress and Activist with Old School Elegance

One look at actress Anna Foglietta in her any of her roles, and the Golden Age of Italian cinema comes to mind. Among Italy’s most sought-after actresses today, Foglietta brings to the table a classic eloquence of yesterday while representing Italy’s modern woman. Born in Rome in 1979, Foglietta began her career in 2005 with a role in the RAI television series La squadra . Her character Agent Anna De Luca had a two-year run on the series as she was transitioning to cinema with Paolo Virzì’s 2006 ensemble project 4-4-2- Il gioco più bello del mondo . Since then, she has become one of Italy’s most diverse actresses, transforming herself into interesting, layered characters for comedies and dramas alike. Aside from a small part in Anton Corbijn’s 2010 film The American starring George Clooney, Foglietta’s work began reaching mainstream American audiences in 2015. As Elisa in Edoardo Leo’s 2015 comedy Noi e la Giulia , Foglietta showed her funny side playing a goofball pregn

Nicoletta Braschi and Roberto Benigni.. What cinema dreams are made of

The Toronto International Film Festival is wrapping up its retrospective of the cinematic collaboration of husband and wife team, Nicoletta Braschi and Roberto Benigni. Over the last few days, the couple have participated in discussions, Q & A sessions and have introduced several of their films. Today, I attended a screening of "La voce della luna" (The voice of the moon). It was  Federico Fellini's last film and is a wonderful tribute to the director's signature poetic madness. The film gave Benigni the opportunity to team up with fellow beloved comic, Paolo Villaggio, and the two created a truly unforgettable adventure. Today's screening began with an introduction by Benigni. The moments leading up to his introduction were noticeably serious and somewhat tense. Benigni's publicist and TIFF security staunchly guarded his privacy. There was no interaction and no photos were allowed. Guided by his entourage, he walked quickly from the Green Room to th

The Comedy and Tragedy of a Neapolitan Genius

On the occasion of Italy's mega-broadcast of numerous films by its beloved, Totò, we take a look at the life and career of Napoli's comic genius. His birth name was Antonio De Curtis, but the world knows him best as Totò, the Neapolitan comedian whose distinctive face and nutty ways made him one of the most popular Italian film stars in history. Totò was born on February 15, 1898 in Rione Sanità, a poor area of Naples. As a boy, he had a passion for sports. Legend has it that a nose injury caused by a football or boxing match gave him his signature look that played a major role in the personality of his characters. In 1917, Totò started acting locally in Napoli's comedia dell'arte and wrote poetry in his dialect. In the early '20s, he headed to Rome. Upon his arrival in the Eternal City, he enjoyed performing i theaters working in "avanspettacolo," a vaudeville show that combined music, ballet and comedy. He mastered the genre and in the '30s, foun
