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)

In Conversation with Talia Shire

She has immortalized two of the most memorable characters in American cinema and now she’s promoting her new film that mirrors issues facing the working class. Talia Shire became a household name in the 1970s with her role as Connie Corleone in "The Godfather" and Adrian Balboa in "Rocky"– two characters that went on to experience tremendous growth in the sequels of both films.  Shire and her brother, collaborator and director Francis Ford Coppola grew up in a family that embraced the arts. Their father Carmine Coppola was a renowned flutist and composer. He often took his children on the road when he performed. So there was always that creative energy and sense of adventure present in their childhood and adolescent years.  “What you have to understand is that Francis is probably the greatest writer. He and Mario (Puzo) did Shakespeare and the Greeks. So people who love "The Godfather" are really listening to literature. He went on and did what ...

Alessandro Gassmann: Born to Act

Alessandro Gassmannin his directorial debut "Razzabastarda" Alessandro Gassmann is the son of the iconic Italian actor/director Vittorio Gassman and French actress Juliette Mayniel. He was born in 1965 and grew up around cinema royalty.  He made his cinema debut in 1982 at the age of 17 in his father's autobiographical film, "Di padre in figlio." He went on to study his craft under his father's direction at the Theatre Workshop of Florence.  Vittorio Gassman was very active in theater and seemed just as comfortable on stage as he did in front of the camera. Known for his powerful interpretations of Dante's "Inferno" and "Paradiso," it is no surprise that he nurtured his son's acting aspirations on stage before he launched his career in television and film. One of Gassmann's strong qualities, which he undoubtedly inherited from his father is his incredible range and ease in going from genre to genre. He can play ...

A Conversation with Sergio Castellitto

Sergio Castellitto has made a profound impact on world cinema, both in front of and behind the camera. Born in Rome in 1953, Castellitto graduated from film school in 1978 and credits American cinema with pushing him toward a career in acting. His work has garnered numerous accolades, largely due to his immersive, original approach to projects in film, television and theatre. Castellitto is fluent in French and English, which has contributed mightily to his international stardom. But it's the actor's trademark brown eyes and charming everyman qualities that have lent his various characters -- even the ones that are rough around the edges -- an air of dignity that other actors might not have achieved. Sergio Castellitto and Margaret Mazzantini, 2005 Films such as "Paura e Amore," "L'uomo delle stelle," "Caterina va in città," and "Bella Martha" heralded Castellitto as a versatile artist with far-reaching abilities. But it ...

Federico Fellini: A Look into the Life and Career of an Icon

A Fellini family portrait  “The term became a common word to describe something on the surface you can say is bizarre or strange, but actually is really like a painter working on a film,” said Martin Scorsese when asked to define “Felliniesque,” an adjective inspired by one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. The oldest of three children, Federico Fellini was born in the seaside town of Rimini in 1920. His father was a traveling salesman, so his mother was left to do the bulk of raising the children. One can argue that Fellini was born for his destiny. “You could tell that even as a child, he was different and unique. He was very intelligent, well above average. He was always the one to organize things, direct the others, make up games. He could control the other kids with just a look, said Fellini’s sister, Maddalena, in an interview with journalist Gideon Bachmann.  Not only was Fellini directing the children, but he was also putting on shows and charging ...

The Extraordinary Career and Legacy of Dino De Laurentiis

Producer Dino De Laurentiis was one of the most prolific filmmakers ever, having produced or co-produced more than 600 films during a career that spanned seven decades. His legacy continues not only through the work of his children and grandchildren but also through a new generation of filmmakers in his Italian hometown. De Laurentiis was born in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius on Aug. 8, 1919, in the city of Torre Annunziata, located just minutes from the ruins of Pompeii. As a child, he worked at a local pasta factory owned and operated by his father. That experience had a profound effect on him, shaping a lifelong passion for food and an appreciation for business. At the age of 17, he decided to leave home for the big city. He arrived in Rome and enrolled in the prestigious film school, Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. After attending the school for about a year, he managed to produce one film in 1940, The Last Combat , before having to leave Rome temporarily for m...
