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 ...

Ornella Muti: Four decades of Acting and Still Going Strong

Ornella Muti was born Francesca Romana Rivelli in Rome in 1955 to a Neapolitan father and an Estonian mother. She began her career as a model during her teenage years and made her film debut in 1970 with La Moglie più bella (The Most Beautiful Wife).  Her follow-up role was in the 1971 film, Sole nella pelle (Sun on the Skin) in which she played the daughter of wealthy parents who runs off with a hippie they don’t approve of. The film offers a telling journey through Italian society in the seventies with the political climate, the breathtaking seaside as well as the styles and cars of that time.  Much of the film is set amid the sunny Italian seaside and succeeds in capturing the innocence and beauty of first love.   Muti made her American film debut in 1980 with Flash Gordon . She played the role of Princess Aura.  She’s appeared in two other American films, including, Oscar , which was directed by John Landis and featured Don Ameche, Chaz Palminteri, and...

Iconic scenes from 'Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina' highlight Italy's North-South divide

If you’re in the mood for a quintessential old-school Italian comedy, look no further than “Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina.” Directed in the mid-1950s by Camillo Mastrocinque, the film has stood the test of time. Starring two of Italy’s most beloved comic actors, Totò (Antonio De Curtis) and Peppino De Filippo, it is widely regarded as one of the country’s most iconic comedies, showcasing mid-century Neapolitan humor. The film also features a young Nino Manfredi at the beginning of his prolific six-decade career. “Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina” is the story of two simple, old-fashioned brothers from Naples, Antonio and Peppino Caponi (Totò and De Filippo respectively), who embark on a trip up north to check on their young nephew Gianni. Gianni has moved to Milan and fallen for a seductive nightclub dancer named Marisa (Maria Luisa Mangini, aka Dorian Gray), whom they refer to as a “malafemmina,” meaning a “bad woman” or femme fatale. Believing she is corrupting him, Totò and Peppino ...

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...
