New grain for "In the beginning there was the Word"

 










At Parco Arte Vivente, in the exhibition "Body Nature", with Dario Neira and curated by Claudio Cravero  (see previous messages for information on the exhibition), the work "In the beginning there was the Word" has grown enough to have new seeds!
This is very relevant for the idea of the work itself, about growing and life, but also because this is the first time this has happened since it was first set up in Faulconer Gallery, Grinnell College, Iowa. The work was frist conceived for the exhibition there called "Where are you from" where 21 portuguese artists showed some of the best portuguese contemporary art, curated by Lesley Wright.

Principia Exhibition - Milano Design Week 2011













Milano Design Week 2011


On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Salone del Mobile in Milan comes “Principia. Stanze e sostanze delle arti prossime”, an exhibition conceived and curated by Denis Santachiara in collaboration with the ‘Solares Fondazione delle Arti’.
A ‘molecular’ pavilion, divided into 8 rooms, will be created in Piazza Duomo, each room will express a ‘principium’ originated in science, like an engine to create sound, visual, architectural and industrial art works. In the 8 rooms, young and important artists and scientists will put on display some works of art which utilize a ‘principium’ which essentially brings us to the latest and most advanced technologies.

 

Some of the names are: Marina Abramovic, Ludovico Einaudi, Marta de Menezes, Luca Pozzi, Karin Sander, Pablo Valbuena.
