Il Volto dell’altro

CURATED BY marco Puntin

Ex Chiesa di San Paolo, Cattaro (Kotor)

Repubblica del Montenegro

2019

Nella Ex Chiesa di San Paolo nella città di Cattaro (Kotor), nella Repubblica del Montenegro, si è inaugurata la mostra Il "Volto dell’altro", una personale dell’artista Ugo Giletta che il curatore Marco Puntin ha voluto riproporre a 11 anni dalla presentazione della stessa nell’allora LipanjePuntin artecontemporanea di Roma e Trieste.

L’evento vuole sancire una tradizione ed un progetto espositivo iniziato a Cattaro nel 2014 con "Un’opera per ricordare" di Jannis Kounellis a cui ha fatto seguito nel 2015 la personale "Love Difference, un’opera per riflettere" di Michelangelo Pistoletto e nel triennio successivo con alcuni giovani ed affermati esponenti dell’arte contemporanea Italiana.

La mostra che è organizzata dall’Università Popolare di Trieste e dalla Comunità degli Italiani di Cattaro, con il sostegno dell’Ambasciata d’Italia in Montenegro e la collaborazione del Comune di Kotor, s’ispira all’idea d’integrazione delle comunità italiane presenti in quell’area geografica.

Ed è proprio da questa idea d’integrazione e scambio culturale che Marco Puntin ha voluto fortemente presentare nella Ex Chiesa di San Paolo il lavoro di Ugo Giletta attraverso un nucleo di tele ad acquerello di grande formato.

Noti in ambito internazionale per la loro forza espressiva e l’enigmatica estraneità i Volti di Giletta sono i viaggiatori del nostro tempo, i migranti (anche economici) con cui dobbiamo quotidianamente confrontarci attraverso lo sguardo. Partite dal Piemonte nel 2008, queste tele, questi 20 Volti, hanno viaggiato passando da Roma a Trieste, da Bruxelles a Berlino, dalla Korea all’estremo oriente fino ad approdare ora in una terra, il Montenegro e le Bocche di Cattaro in particolare, nota per gli scambi culturali, economici e la forte tradizione marinaresca.

INTRIGUING UNCERTAINTIES offers a slew of diverse artistic imaginings on that buried realm of the unconscious – that which is far and near, known and unknown, familiar and unfamiliar, and always with us, because it is within us. In everyone’s life and memory, in the present and in the past, there exist strange, vivid, even aggressive moments that have the potential to profoundly destabilize – occasionally, even to burn and torture. They are resistant to the passing of time; they never quit us, and they leave their mark indelibly upon the never-ending chain of events that constitutes life as we know it, emerging to shape our desires and dreams, our fear for the future and our horror of the past. As denizens of a seam of unfiltered urges and pulses lying subterranean under the daily progression of lived experience, these moments are nonetheless vital components of our anthropological reality as complex humans.

2018

Die Ausstellung VOLTO präsentiert unterschiedliche ästhetische Vorstellungen und künstlerische Methoden innerhalb der zeitgenössischen Zeichnung im Zusammenhang der Untersuchung zum Motiv des Gesichts und dem hervorgerufenen Bedeutungszusammenhang.

Das Medium Zeichnung ist in den vergangenen Jahren eine sehr häufig genutzte und zentrale Disziplin im zeitgenössischen Kunstschaffen geworden. Der Grund liegt sicher sowohl in seiner persönlichen, intimen, subtilen und fragilen Natur als auch in seiner sehr reichhaltigen, sinnträchtigen Ausstrahlung. Zeichnen ermöglicht wie auch das Schreiben spontane Improvisationen und sucht oft undefinierte und unvollendete Formen während die befreite Vorstellungskraft / die radikale Phantasie Dimensionen des Vordringens in verschiedene Territorien der Realitätserfahrung eröffnet.

ARTISTS: Radu Belcin, Anya Belyat-Giunta, Aron Gàbor, Ugo Giletta, Eric Gruber e Marine Joatton.

Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art - Vienna

2018

For this year’s edition of curated_by Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art Vienna presents an exhibition in three parts, symbolizing the city’s cultural complexity, creative openness, and innovative potential as well as its attraction and often provocative intellectuality in the context of the international art scene and of artists cultivating a long-standing relationship with Vienna’s art life.

They include famous paradigmatic masters of the last half-century who have been living in Vienna for years and actively shaping and influencing the Austrian capital’s art and cultural discourses. One of them is Michelangelo Pistoletto. Teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the artist’s oeuvre and aesthetic approach has influenced his students as well as generations of young artists. Along with Pistoletto, the exhibition features several middle generation artists whose work deals with the themes, questions and aesthetics of literary and scientific narratives that have been of interest to a wide range of Viennese intellectuals.

The artworks of Kendell Geers and Bernardí Roig address theoretical, linguistic, aesthetic and architectural ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein and are inspired by the famous thinker’s fascinating and extensive oeuvre. Ugo Giletta’s explorations of appearance and essentiality were also influenced by Wittgenstein’s theses as well as Otto Weininger’s philosophies and ideas on essentiality. The graphical works of Sandra Vásquez de la Horra and Marine Joatton contain psychoanalytical aspects and concepts of the unconscious, which they consider in a cultural-anthropological context that leans heavily on mysticism and the world of magic.

Symbols and signs of certain ritual practices and indicators of popular, at times folkloric or historical narratives come into sharp focus in the works of Barthélémy Toguo and Fabien Verschaere. Barthélémy Toguo addresses African fertility rites, while Fabien Verschaere highlights late medieval Flemish and French ideas of magic, fairy-tales, witchcraft, passion plays, and death cult.

All these artists foster a close relationship with Vienna, its cultural traditions, and its contemporary art scene; and some even established friendships with Viennese artists—Fabien Verschaere with Franz West, Ugo Giletta with Hermann Nitsch.

ARTISTS: Kendell GEERS, Michelangelo PISTOLETTO, Bernardí ROIG, Ugo GILETTA, Marine JOATTON, Barthélémy TOGUO, Sandra Vasquez DE LA HORRA, Fabien VERSCHAERE

Uncertainties/Improbabilities

CURATED BY LÓRÁND HEGYI

Hopstreet Gallery - Brussels

2018

The work of the artists invited to exhibit in “Uncertainties/ Improbabilities” is particularly authentic and remarkable because the artists radically focus on freeing imagination, on contextualizing visual narratives of improbabilities and obscurities in far-reaching referentiality. The excessive, provocative intensity of the sensual, physical entity of visual creation functions as a subversive, liberating, anarchical and creative force that destroys the ostensible, seductive attractions of the empty, meaningless, superficial and manipulated simulacrum of the world.

ARTISTS: Guglielmo Castelli, Ugo Giletta, Juul Kraijer, Barthelemy Toguo, Sandra Vasquez de la Horra & Tinus Vermeersch.
