Galleria Marconi di Cupra Marittima presenta Equilibrismi


Franco Anzelmo's 
Equilibrismi (Acrobatics) 
Curated by Dario Ciferri


The third installment of the art expositions, Being twenty will open at Marconi Gallery in Cupra Marittima on February 28 at 6 p.m. The exhibition is organized by Marconi Gallery and Marche Centro d'Arte, and curated by Dario Ciferri, also author of the critical text.

Acrobatics is the third appointment of the series of exhibitions Being Twenty which will continue at Marconi Gallery through the entire 2014-2015 exposition season.

“Franco Anzelmo's figures are concentrated on a delicate, physical, psychological and or ideal acrobatics. Suspended and surprised in a moment of amazement, observation or research, they stand with the delicate balance between outside and inside, between earth and sky, in a complex but fascinating path. Anzelmo seems to be interested in the research of a center of gravity trying to tell the man and his variations. Acrobatics catches the eye and takes it to a dimension of wonder, where poetry and reflection come together.

It's an aesthetic research which doesn't limit itself in showing humanitry but goes deeper to the inwardness, digging, describing, laying it bare. It's perhaps for this reason that his works are nudes, because they can grasp the most intimate, delicate and fragile side of the human being. Nudity testifies all the innocence of man, the one we would like to see, which we know exists inside ourselves and would be nice if we could manifest”. (Dario Ciferri)

What does "Being Twenty" mean? 
It's the meeting between dreams and new perspectives, expectations that open, new directions you take, yet it's the time of life in which we encounter the real responsibilities and sorrow. It is the growth with a look to the past and an eye to the future, Once again Marconi Gallery tries to talk about art with the responsibility to know where it is and on what basis it should continue to grow. Reaching twenty isn't a small task and it isn't easy, yet it is a key point to continue to grow with one's dreams beyond the illusions. (http://youtu.be/Nvvu9fN9qeE)

  

-La Versione Italiana-
Alla Galleria Marconi di Cupra Marittima la rassegna Avere vent’anni arriva al suo terzo appuntamento. Sabato 28 febbraio alle 18 sarà inaugurata Equilibrismi, mostra personale di Franco Anzelmo. La mostra, organizzata dalla Galleria Marconie da Marche Centro d’Arte, è a cura di Dario Ciferri, che è anche autore del testo critico.

La Galleria Marconi si trova in c.so Vittorio Emanuele II n°70 a Cupra Marittima. La personale di Franco Anzelmo potrà essere visitata fino al 26 marzo 2014 con i seguenti orari: lunedì – sabato 16.30 - 19.30.


Equilibrismi è il terzo appuntamento del ciclo di mostre Avere vent’anni che accompagnerà la Galleria Marconi per tutta la stagione espositiva 2014/2015.

“Come fossero su un filo ideale le figure di Franco Anzelmo si concentrano su delicati equilibrismi, fisici, psicologici e/o ideali. Sospese e sorprese in un attimo di stupore, di osservazione o di ricerca, si reggono sul delicato equilibrio tra esterno ed interno, tra terra e cielo, in un percorso complesso ma suggestivo. La ricerca di un baricentro sembra essere l’interesse di Anzelmo nel tentativo di raccontare l’uomo e le sue infinite declinazioni. Gli equilibrismi insomma catturano lo sguardo e lo portano in una dimensione di stupore, dove poesia e riflessione si incontrano e dialogano al di sopra della materia ma con la forza della materia.


È una ricerca estetica che non si limita a mostrare l’umanità ma si addentra nell’interiorità, la scava, la descrive, la mette a nudo. E forse è proprio per questo motivo che le sue opere sono dei nudi, perché dell’essere umano sanno cogliere il lato più intimo, più delicato, più fragile. La nudità testimonia tutta l’innocenza dell’uomo quella che vorremmo vedere, che sappiamo esistere dentro noi, che sarebbe bello sapessimo manifestare.” (Dario Ciferri)


Cosa vuol dire avere vent’anni? In qualche modo rappresenta l’incontro tra i sogni e le nuove prospettive, aspettative che si aprono, nuove direzioni che si prendono, eppure è il momento nella vita in cui ci si imbatte nelle vere responsabilità, nel dolore. È la crescita con uno sguardo al passato e l’occhio al futuro. Ancora una volta la Galleria Marconi prova a parlare di arte, cercando di rinnovarsi e di innovare ma con la responsabilità di sapere dove si trova e su quali basi deve continuare a crescere. Arrivare a vent’anni non è poco e non è facile, eppure è un punto fondamentale per continuare a crescere con i propri sogni e al di là delle illusioni. (http://youtu.be/Nvvu9fN9qeE)

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...

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...

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" ...
