birds of passage curated by Federica La Paglia
Arteknè In the area of \u200b\u200bthe first contemporary art fair in Matera (Italy) is presented as a parallel event sample birds of passage curated by Federica La Paglia.
The project concerns the study of Lucan territory considered in its socio-political emergency, seeks to address the issue of migration, from the analysis of a reality that sees Basilicata as the first Italian region for flow of migrants to which, at the same time, adds a strong immigration.
This mixture and comparison between migrants is the starting point for birds of passage, a name that was given in the U.S. in the '20s with immigrants from southern Europe.
migration in the sample is considered under the profile of migrant sentiment, emotions and memories, thus trying to create a dialogue between different South - specifically the South of Italy and South America - historically pooled for the same fate of departures and returns.
The guest artists are Felipe Aguilar (Chile), Marco Baroncelli - Enzo Orlandi (Italy), Donna Conlon (Panama), Ines Fontenla (Argentina), María Rosa Jijón (Ecuador), Mario Opazo (Colombia), Manuela Viera -Gallo (Chile).
The works chosen place man in a central position - not the phenomenon - touching emotional chords, not just intellectuals, both for political jobs as in those overtly poetic.
's will perform a show that has a connection with the territory also influenced the choice of exhibition space: birds of passage is installed in Le Monacelle, XIV century former convent and pilgrim's house in the '90s turned into a hostel, rather than faces and stories in transit.
Works, located on different areas of the convent / hotel, invite visitors to travel evocative penetration deeper.
