After the success of the first artist residence of this second edition of Rooms of imaginary lifein which Enrico Iuliano’s art has harmoniously intertwined with the words of the poet Bartolomeo Bellanova, Tuesday 15 July, always in the magical setting of Mabos (Museum of Art of the Sila Bosco), the second artist residence will start who, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth, pays homage to the photographer Mario Giacomelli.
Within the perimeter of forest terraces, in this new stage of the Sense residences reached the eighth season, until 20 July, Santo Badolato, a Catanzaro sculptor with a strong propensity towards matter in all its forms, from plasticity to spatiality, and a particular attention to the ability of light to reveal things, will be the protagonist. His research is oriented to the themes of sacredness and essence, in the belief that the synthesis generated by reading the set is the way to approach the truth. His work “Te Hominem Esse Memento”, in which the subject disintegrates himself to free himself from impurities and reconstruct in a new form. His artistic invitation to meet with what must be reduced and fragmenting is a sort of cathartic act. In this case, it will be embellished with the literary contribution of Andrea Cortellessa, historian and literary critic as well as professor of contemporary Italian literature at the University of Rome Tre.
«Badolato’s project adheres perfectly to our idea of space and limit as it helps to view its consistency and effects in a more clear way. Thanks to this awareness, it allows you to cultivate a form of emancipation »comments Elisabetta Longo, director of Mabos, inviting everyone to draw on this inexhaustible source of art, in the enchanting outdoor museum. This artist residence will also be accompanied by the original stretch of the pencil of Giuseppe Talarico, artistic director of Colosso Studio, who irony and freshness represents models of iconicity of Calabria, and by the photographic narrative of Isabella Marino.
