curated by Marco Tonelli and Bruno Corà
Palazzo Collicola
Almost twenty-five years later, Gianni Asdrubali (Tuscania, 1955) is again a protagonist in Spoleto, with a solo exhibition that takes stock of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary Italian painters, who established himself on the national and international scene as an innovator of abstract, aniconic and gestural research since the 1980s.
The exhibition, curated by Marco Tonelli (Director of Palazzo Collicola) and Bruno Corà (President of the Foundation Palazzo Albizzini Collezione Burri and member of Palazzo Collicola’s Scientific Committee), is a retrospective of his work through the most representative and enigmatic as well as evocative cycles of paintings such as Aggroblanda, Trigombo, Malumazac, Zeimekke, Azota, Stoide, Azotrumbo, Tromboloide.
Scheduled for 21 March, suspended due to the Covid-19 lockdown, the exhibition vibrantly announces the reopening of Palazzo Collicola and its activities, albeit with many changes in programming due to the pandemic.
The exhibition’s title Surfing with the Alien (one of the most famous tracks by American virtuoso and brilliant guitarist Joe Satriani), means to communicate the unstable balance, dizzy leaps and acrobatics in the void of a dynamic painting that looks like fluctuating in the dimensions of space, each time generating new plots and surprising trajectories.
As Asdrubali himself once wrote: “Surfing is an action generated by absence. But this surfing is not smooth, it is contrastingly bumping, it is running away, going away, to then return and bang into its own beginning, but every time it returns and bumps into itself it deforms and opens the structure, transforming the ‘figure’ of the image, which is never the same. The interaction is the figure of this struggle, of this contrast between surfing and the alien”.
Asdrubali’s figure is an extreme one, an artist whom critic Filiberto Menna listed in the Astrazione povera group, Flavio Caroli in that of Magico primario, and that Giovanni Carandente invited at the Venice Biennale in 1988.
At Palazzo Collicola, the exhibition unfolds through the rooms at the ground floor, which once housed the permanent collection of the Modern Art Gallery (since 2019 rearranged at the museum’s second floor), where two other works by Asdrubali are kept, including a spectacular Tromboloide from 1992. An interactive project, ZUMBER, by the ORAMIDE research group, has been realized on this work and will soon be available on the museum’s website http://www.palazzocollicola.it
The exhibition will be open to the public from 27 June to 13 September 2020, it has been realized with the collaboration of Galleria Giraldi, Galleria A Arte Invernizzi, Galleria Matteo Lampertico, Galleria Consorti. During the exhibition, a catalogue with texts by Marco Tonelli, Bruno Corà and an interview with the artist Davide Silvioli will be published.

Restaurants, wine bars, inns and taverns will offer 4-course menus for the evening of July 31st.
It will be possible to book from Thursday 16th.
From piazza Garibaldi to piazza Campello, 32 catering activities will participate in the event
Thirty-two restaurants in 7 squares and 18 streets of the historic centre. The “Toast to Spoleto” initiative, scheduled for Friday 31 July, will be a great event dedicated to the promotion and knowledge of the main food and wine products of Spoleto.
The initiative, conceived and organized by the City of Spoleto along with Confcommercio Umbria – Mandamento Spoleto and Consorzio Operatori Turistici ConSpoleto, is involving all the catering activities in the historical centre of the city, from Piazza Garibaldi to Piazza Campello, passing through Corso Mazzini, Piazza del Mercato, Via Porta Fuga, Piazza Duomo, Via Monterone…
It is the first real opportunity to return to live together the squares and streets of Spoleto after the lockdown, thanks to the outdoor spaces available in restaurants, taverns, and wine bars.
“Let’s drink a toast to Spoleto” will be a tasting experience entirely focused on the typical products of the Spoleto valley, a sort of sensory journey that each restaurant will develop in four courses, offering menus designed specifically for this event.
From Thursday 16 July it will be possible to book for the evening of the 31st by contacting directly the catering activities that have joined the initiative (the PDF list can be downloaded here >> https://bit.ly/3iSb1Bf).
Restaurants, inns, wine bars and taverns will be easily accessible via the mechanized routes (travelators, escalators and elevators) of the alternative mobility system, parking the car in the Posterna, Spoletosfera and Ponzianina car parks (the Posterna and Spoletosfera car parks are free from 21.00 to 03.00).
