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)

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 Timeless Talent of Stefania Sandrelli

On screen since the tender age of 14, she has captivated audiences for more than 50 years with a compelling combination of strength and vulnerability. She achieved stardom at just 14 years old playing the angelic cousin of a love-struck Marcello Mastroianni in Pietro Germi’s “Divorce Italian Style.” More than half a century later, she is still going strong and remains one of Italy’s most esteemed actors. Stefania Sandrelli was born on June 5, 1946, in Viareggio in the province of Lucca in northern Italy. As a child, she studied music and dance. Then in 1960, she won a beauty pageant and was featured on the cover of Le Ore magazine. Her purity captivated the country and shortly thereafter, movie offers began pouring in. Just one year later, she made her cinema debut in three feature films: Mario Sequi’s Gioventù di notte , Luciano Salce’s The Fascist, and Pietro Germi’s Divorce Italian Style . She instantly became a star and before long was a key figure in Italy’s legend...

The Anthology Film Archives Presents: The Italian Connection: Poliziotteschi and Other Italo-Crime Films of the 1960s and '70's

June 19 – June 29 Influenced both by 1960s political cinema and Italian crime novels, as well as by French noir and American cop movies like "Dirty Harry" and "The French Connection," many Italian filmmakers in the late-60s and early-70s gradually moved away from the spaghetti western genre, trading lone cowboys for ‘bad’ cops and the rough frontier of the American west for the mean streets of modern Italy. Just as they had with their westerns, they reinvented the borrowed genre with their inimitable eye for style and filled their stories with the kidnappings, heists, vigilante justice, and brutal violence that suffused this turbulent moment in post-boom 1970s Italy. The undercurrent of fatalism and cynicism in these uncompromising movies is eerily reminiscent of the state of discontent in Italy today. ‘The Italian Connection’ showcases the diversity and innovation found in the genre, from the gangster noir of Fernando Di Leo’s "Caliber 9" ...

Gianfranco Rosi to premiere 'Sotto le nuvole' at Venice Film Fest, exploring Naples' history

Documentary filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi will premiere his much-anticipated latest film at the upcoming 82nd Venice International Film Festival , which runs August 27 - Sept. 6. "Sotto le nuvole" (Below the Clouds)  takes a deep dive into the rich history and culture of Naples and the area surrounding Mount Vesuvius. There has not been much information revealed but so far, we know that the film will focus on themes similar to those explored by Rosi in his previous works, such as the examination of Roman culture in "Sacro GRA" (2013) and Lampedusa's refugee crisis in "Fuocoammare" (2016).  The film's synopsis reads, “The land around Vesuvius is a vast palimpsest. On the surface, underground and even beneath the sea of the modern city of Naples and its surroundings, the memory of history is etched into tunnels, walls and fissures, the remains of women, children and men — statues, buried cities. Only thin layers separate contemporary and ancient life, an...
