PHOTO EXHIBITION | The Hidden Theatre. A story in images @ Museo Archeologico e Teatro Romano di Spoleto
Jul 21 2018 – Dec 31 2019 all-day
<!--:it-->MOSTRA FOTOGRAFICA | Il teatro nascosto. Una storia per immagini<!--:--><!--:en-->PHOTO EXHIBITION | The Hidden Theatre. A story in images<!--:--> @ Museo Archeologico e Teatro Romano di Spoleto | Spoleto | Umbria | Italia

The exhibition The Hidden Theatre. A story in images is a collection of unpublished photographs dating back to the years of the discovery of the Roman Theatre of Spoleto and its unearthing, from 1938 to 1960.

The exhibition, promoted by the Polo Museale dell’Umbria – Museo Archeologico e Teatro Romano di Spoleto, in collaboration with Astra onlus and the Archivio di Stato di Perugia, section of Spoleto, shows photographs coming from the Accademia Etrusca di Cortona and from the archive of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale dell’Umbria. The exhibition reveals unpublished aspects of the discovery of the Roman theatre and the transformation of the complex of S.Agata from a judicial prison (1867-1957) to a museum.

The history of the monastery of S. Agata – already known thanks to the research of G. Curti, S. Di Sante Coaccioli, S. Gubbiotti, resulting in the 2011 documented book “The Roman Theatre and the former monastery of S.Agata. Chronicle of its transformations” – is now enriched by photographs taken by the then inspector archaeologist Umberto Ciotti, who documented every step of the demolition and excavation work.

Wednesday 30 November at 21.00
Battista wrote this show together with his wife Alessandra Moretti and the collaboration of Mariano D’Angelo, in which Battista (on stage also Stefano Borgia) investigates reality with his unmistakable verve and usual irreverent irony, that daily life that he always wanted to tell and that has always marked the success of his shows starting from a distance, from the family bar in San Giovanni that the comedian has never forgotten. The show tells a hilarious life journey, in which the comedian compares past times with modern times, trying perhaps to understand when life was better, but without sparing himself in highlighting vices and virtues of every age with a desecrating, amused touch.

Art Meetings at Palazzo Collicola – Fabrizio Plessi, Digital Life @ Palazzo Collicola
Dec 6 @ 17:30

Art Meetings at Palazzo Collicola
Fabrizio Plessi: Digital Life
Friday 6 December 2019 – h 17.30
Noble Apartment – Hall of Honour
PALAZZO COLLICOLA – Spoleto

Fabrizio Plessi is considered a videoart pioneer in Italy and is certainly the first one to have used tv screens since the 1970s, as materials through which flows an unstoppable stream of digital water and fire.
His many participations in art festivals or international film and dance festivals have always showed him as an artist of innovative and anticipatory experiments. Sound performances, architecture, television and theatrical sets have formed the background on which he grafted his video sculptures, in which the use of technology is reduced to a natural element, a material to live together with, rather than struggle. Despite this, drawing still remains one of its fundamental creative and design stimuli.

Friday 6 December at Palazzo Collicola Fabrizio Plessi from 17.30 wil discuss his human and artistic experience, of his vision of art and the future of art, of the relationship between memory and innovation, past and present, starting from the assumption that technology must be a means and not an end, all the while showing images and videos that illustrate his spectacular, intense research. 

After the meeting held last September with Michelangelo Pistoletto, this one with Plessi gives continuity to a series of dialogues on contemporary art that does not deny the ancient one, but rather shows it in a new light, reflecting Palazzo Collicola’s Modern Art Gallery’s relation with its classical picture gallery at the historical apartment. 
The appointment is also part of the program of Mezz’ora dopo la chiusura.

Fabrizio Plessi was born in 1940 in Regio Emilia, but lives and works in Venice, Italy.  Countless participations in important exhibitions at national and international level include the Venice Biennale, Kassel Documenta or large anthological exhibitions held in various museums around the world: from the Guggenheim in New York to that in Bilbao, from the Civic Museum of Reggio Emilia to the Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome, from the Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin to the IVAM in Valencia, from the MoCA in San Diego to the Ludwig Museum in Budapest and Koblenz, from the Kestner Gesellschaft in Hanover to the Museum of Modern Art in Mallorca, from the Kunsthistorisches in Vienna to the Foundation Mirò in Barcelona. In 2011 the Venice Pavilion of the Venice Biennale reopened after years with an impressive exhibition by Plessi entitled Vertical Seas.

Suggestive are his site-specific installations created for ancient and monumental spaces such as Piazza San Marco in Venice, the Valle dei Templi in Agrigento, the Lonja in Palma de Maiorca, the Sala dei Giganti in Palazzo Te in Mantua or the Terme di Caracalla in Rome, demonstrating a passion for classicism and spectacularity confirmed also by the electronic sets created for Titanic, Icarus, The Threepenny Opera, Romeo and Juliet, set to music by composers such as Philipp Glass and Michael Nyman.
In 2015 he represented the Belarusian Pavilion for Expo Milano with a monumental electronic sculpture and the Liquid Life / Liquid Life exhibition was held in Venice at the Arsenale and Galleria G. Franchetti Ca ’d’Oro exhibition venues; in 2017 he designed Fenix DNA for the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, a suggestive total, immersive and multisensory work of art, while in 2018 he held a solo exhibition at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

At the Brenner Pass, the futuristic Plessi Museum was inaugurated in November 2013, a huge work of architecture, sculpture and design that perfectly integrates with the naturalistic vision of the surrounding environment.
For ten years he taught “Technology Humanization” at the Kunsthochschule für Medien in Cologne.

2019/2020 Season

Sunday 8 December 2019 at 11 at the Sala Pegasus in Piazza G. Bovio, Spoleto, the first concert of the new season organised by Officina d’Arte e Tessuti will take place.

As usual, curators identified a specific period and analysed it, to offer the audience a reading of the historical, artistic context, to define connections between music and visual arts in an acoustically perfect, architecturally stimulating environment, not unlike how the gallery organises its contemporary art exhibitions.
Last year’s theme was Romanticism, in particular the romantic lied, while this year the focus is on the XXth Century. “XXth-century Musical Routes” is the title of this edition, that opens on December 8 with a performance dedicated to two fundamental authors of modern and contemporary music, Alban Berg e Paul Hindemith.

Teatro Nuovo “Gian Carlo Menotti”
Maurizio De Giovanni is a Neapolitan writer of international renown, who authored numerous successful books, from the series Il Commissario Ricciardi to I bastardi di Pizzofalcone. This time he has taken on the comedy, whose result is now going on stage under the direction of Alessandro Gassmann.

“This story has very big surprises in it, mysteries that only a great mystery writer like Maurizio De Giovanni would have been able to handle with this ability, that really make it a small contemporary classic. Theatre needs actors who stick to the characters in a modern way, and I think that Massimiliano Gallo, with whom I shared film sets and adventures, is today one of the most effective and complete Italian actors. It will be a great joy for me to direct him on a character who is ideal on him. This is what we do at the theatre, or at least we strive to do, we desperately seek the truth, and we trust in your desire to believe in it. Have fun.” Alessandro Gassmann

Exhibition | Convergenze. Notargiacomo and the Spoleto Modern Art Gallery Collection @ Palazzo Collicola
Dec 14 2019 – Mar 8 2020 all-day

Convergenze. Notargiacomo and the Spoleto Modern Art Gallery Collection
curated by Marco Tonelli
“G. Carandente” Modern Art Gallery
PALAZZO COLLICOLA – Spoleto
14 December 2019 – 8 March 2020

Inauguration
Saturday 14 December 2019 – h 11.30

Open: Friday, Saturday and Sunday
10:30 – 13:00 / 15:00 – 17:30

In many ways, Gianfranco Notargiacomo is a forerunner of non-codified languages, capable of moving from form to image, from structure to painting with the same skill and intelligence. Precisely for this reason it represented the solution to contrasting, intertwined nodes, opposing with one another, divergent and converging at the same time.

The Spoleto Modern Art Gallery has a rich deposit of works, mostly donations or acquisitions made over the years, some of which are destined to rotate and leave the stores from time to time. 

Gianfranco Notargiacomo accepted the invitation to seek a dialogue with the artists and the works of the collection preserved in the deposits of Santo Chiodo, finding the keystone of the curatorial proposal in about twenty paintings by authors with whom he had an actual relationship, such as Burri, Sadun, Bendini, Pace, Vacchi, Asdrubali, Rossano, Gandini, Cascella, Ceroli, Boille, Cotani, Mattiacci, Luzzi, Pozzati.

The Convergenze exhibition opens at Palazzo Collicola Saturday 14 December at 11.30 and will be visitable till Synday 8 March 2020. The exhibition project takes the title from the famous installation Le nostre divergenze, the artist’s first personal exhibition held in Rome in 1971 at Plinio De Martiis’ La Tartaruga Gallery, then repeated several times over the decades in various museums, including the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome: over two hundred colored plastic dolls that invade the gallery in all its spaces. The first time it was exhibited in public the installation was defined in the Herald Tribune by Edith Schloss as “The most surprising show”. 

In the spaces of the ground floor of Palazzo Collicola, right where the permanent collection of the Gallery of Modern Art was once located, about 140 little men will talk with the works selected from the collection’s deposit, in a continuous flow between memory and present, as if they were witnesses enchanted by an apparition, by an unveiling. On the occasion of the Notargiacomo exhibition, he will donate one of his sculptures, a typical Takete, to the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Spoleto, which will also be part of the exhibition along with other sculptures in the series, symbolically bringing together his works with those of the museum. During the exhibition, a public meeting will be held in which the artist will illustrate his links with the individual artists with whom he has chosen to dialogue. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the RUFA of Rome. 

The exhibition will be open from Friday to Sunday, on Thursday 26 December and on Monday 6 January 2020 from 10.30 to 13.00 and from 15.00 to 17.30.

Gianfranco Notargiacomo (Rome, 1945) In the 1970s he holds exhibitions at the Galleria La Tartaruga di Roma, Galleria La Salita, Palazzo delle Esposizioni. In 1980 he participates to the exhibition conceived by Flavio Caroli Magico Primario, at the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara. The deep relation with Emilio Vedova dates to this period, and led to Vedova proposing him for the Premio della Presidenza della Repubblica at the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca. In 1982, 1986 and 2011 he is invited to the Venice Biennale di Venezia; in the 1980s he holds personal exhibitions  at Castel Sant’Elmo, Naples, Casa del Mantegna in Mantua, Museo Laboratorio of the Università La Sapienza in Rome, Palazzo Reale in Milan. Nel 2009 tiene la mostra Le nostre divergenze 1971-2009 curata da Mariastella Margozzi alla Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Roma. In 2011 he is in Hangzhou, China, by the Zhejiang Daily Ideal Culture Development Company, then in Shanghai, at the Heng Yuanxiang Museum, where he creates two large Takète. In 2013 at the Forte Malatesta in Ascoli Piceno he holds his exhibition A grandi linee. Among the many collective exhibitions, he is featured in the VIIIth and in the XIth Biennale de Paris and in the Sydney Biennale, he exhibited at the Hayward Gallery in London, at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, at the São Paulo Museum in Brasil, at the Taiwan Museum of Art and he is featured in the collection Artisti Italiani del XX secolo at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in L’Aquila, Florence and Rome, where in 2015 he is nominated Maestro Accademico Emerito. In 2013, by iniziative of the President of the Republic, he is awarded  the honour of Commendatore Ordine al Merito of the Republic of Italy.

Exhibition | Raspi: Collages and Paintings 1959-1963 @ Palazzo Collicola

RASPI: COLLAGES AND PAINTINGS 1959-1963

Raspi: Collages and paintings 1959 – 1963

The exhibition focuses on a Spoletan artist who as a member of the Spoleto Six and whose works are included in the Modern Art Gallery’s collection.

An experimentation that originated between 1958 and 1964, the Collages represent the climax of an importsant aesthetic research by Piero Raspi. Since the earliest 1958 works, still as a member of the Six, their abstract, refined architectures of simple, overlapping sheets seem to be crossed by vital leaps that become more and more marked over time. In the early 1960s, the structure of the works becomes more dynamic with the emergence, among the layers of paper, of components such as photographs, letters and three-dimensional objects. This reference to everyday reality gives the Collages an energy of non-sense, which puts the works closer to the contemporary new-dada decontextualization of American Robert Rauschenberg.

The production alternates with large informal paintings, albeit with obvious differences: from dimensions to materials, from chromatic to spatial impact. But what most differentiates the paintings from the Collages is the presence in the latter of an ironic vein, light and subtle like a veil. A common characteristic of all is the fact that for years they have been hidden in the archives of the author and for this reason they are absolutely new to some.

The exhibition inaugurates in Palazzo Collicola on Saturday 14 December at 11.30 and will be visitable till Sunday 8 March 2020, from Friday to Sunday, on Thursday 26 December 2019 and on Monday 6 January 2020 from 10.30 to 13.00 and from 15.00 to 17.30.

Piero Raspi – Born on 12 February, 1926 in Spoleto. He starts his fortunate artistic career within post-Cubism and founds the Group of Spoleto in the early 1950s. In the second half of the 1950s the main reference becomes the informal sphere, from which he learns new expressive possibilities of the matter outside of any surviving figurative need. In 1957 he joins the artists gravitating around the gallery “L’Attico” in Rome, where he exhibits repeatedly. In 1958 he participates in the Venice Biennale, gathering international fame. In this period he is identified as one of the protagonist of materic informalism, akin to Burri and Tàpies. In the early 1960s he holds many personal and collective exhibitions in Italy, including the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadriennale. Abroad he exhibits in London, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Stuttgart, Paris, Brussels, Cologne Montreal, Madrid, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Chicago, Lucerne, Tel Aviv, Salzburg, Zurich and Tokyo. In 1967 he settles in Pennsylvania and starts confronting himself with Pop Art. In this period he paints a series of works that would eventually exhibit in Philadelphia and New York. In 1978, a new pictorial phase starts, marked by an unprecedented chromatism. With the beginning of the new millennium, in addition to the creation of monochromes, he embraces other forms of creative expression and makes use of new materials such as steel. In 2001 in Spoleto, at the Albornoz Palace, he realizes a wall sculpture in steel plates, where he transfers the abstract and refined architecture of the Collages made since the late 1950s. Starting from the second decade of the 2000s, he focuses on the critical revision and cataloging of his works, as well as on the restoration of some papers and Collages of the 1950s and 1960s.

A great, three-dimensional crib inspired by the Nativity by Filippo Lippi frescoed on the apse at the cathedral will be created by the students of the Istituto Istruzione Superiore “Sansi Leonardi Volta”. The students of the Liceo Artistico, scenography section, have in fact worked on the continuation of the project with the construction of new elements of the composition and with a first pictorial intervention on the statues already created for the previous edition. The crib will be exhibited, from 8 December 2019 to 14 January 2020, in the apse of the former church of San Simone in Piazza Campello.

Exhibition’s opening times: everyday 11.00/13.00 – 15.00/19.00.

For the occasion, the San Matteo degli Infermi Hospital in Spoleto has also created a Crib that will be exhibited in the Pediatric Department of the same hospital. The work is curated by Rosanna Mele and Fabiola Bocchini.
