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)

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 ...

Golden Age Masterpiece: Luchino Visconti’s 1957 “White Nights”

Photo Credit: Archivio Luce Cinecittà Luchino Visconti’s 1957 film, “White Nights” (“Le notti bianche”), offers a thoughtful and poignant exploration of themes such as loneliness, desire and emotional vulnerability. Based on Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novella of the same name, it transports the tale from 19th-century St. Petersburg to a dreamy mid-20th-century Italian setting. While Visconti remains largely faithful to Dostoevsky’s narrative, his characteristic style infuses the film with emotional depth, striking visuals, and a focus on class and societal constraints.   The story follows a young man named Matteo, played by Marcello Mastroianni, who lives a solitary life in a small Italian town. One evening, he encounters a beautiful young woman named Natalia, portrayed by Austrian-Swiss actress Maria Schell, who is also feeling isolated. Although she is initially reluctant, Natalia eventually confides in Matteo about her love for a man who has promised to return and marry her, but he ha...

Sergio Leone: Recreating the American Cowboy

Henry Fonda in "Once Upon a Time in the West" He's an Italian filmmaker who left his mark on the world by telling uniquely American stories. Known throughout the world for his iconic Spaghetti Westerns, Sergio Leone comes from a family of filmmakers. His mother, Edvige Valcarenghi whose stage name was Bice Walerian, was a silent movie actress who gave up her career to become a wife and mother when she married Vincenzo Leone in 1916. Vincenzo whose stage name was Roberto Roberti, was a noted filmmaker who directed and acted in movies during the silent film era. He actually tried to discourage his son from pursuing a career in cinema, so Sergio Leone briefly studied law. But then fate stepped in and he landed a position as an assistant on Vittorio De Sica ’s "The Bicycle Thieves"   in 1948. Leone also briefly appears in the film, as part of a group of German priests taking shelter from the rain. Although he emerged during the rise of Neorealism, Leone mig...
