Once again the need and urgency of heresy is the engine that moves the new adventure that the patron Antonio Presti He is ready to present to his audience on 1 and 2 June in Villa Margi, a hamlet overlooking the Tyrrhenian of the Municipality of Reitano, in the Messina area.
A huge warned to guard the gate of the new atelier on the sea – Asteroid20049 antonononopresti, a heretic horse almost 5 meters high, six shields made by recycled materials, all dedicated to the memory of the artist and master Palermo Right suckinga figure of reference for an artistic current that developed in the capital since the 70s and fraternal friend of Presti, who wanted to celebrate it on this occasion.
The works open the Triennale of the contemporaneity wanted by the patron, in collaboration with the Sicilian Region and the Department of Cultural Heritage and the Municipality of Reitano. It is the story of a rebirth, of a new beginning, the one that comes from Villa Margi. There, in the same handkerchief of land where the Window on the sea – The monument for a poet Dead made by the artist Tano Festa in memory of his brother poet – the atelier on the sea -asteroid 20049 antonononopresti restarts. The new works created by the artists does it by inaugurating it Antonello Bonanno Conti, Giacomo Noyà and Pablo Sucatoson of Giusto, who will frame at the entrance to the structure, who returns to live with his new author suite.
The robust walls in which six shields dedicated to Giusto Sucato, made by his son Pablo together with Noyà, stands it. Walls closed by golden amonite that “represents – observes the Belgian artist of Italian origins Noyà – the return to that link with the nature that we risk losing and that instead we have the urgency to recover”. The six shields, on the other hand, are reborn from recovery materials.
Made from as many old round wood tables, fish and other works of art of Sucato resume. “He created art by recovering old paws, nails, tin jars – says his son Pablo Suato – in the 70s he was pure avant -garde. I thank Antonio Presti in having wanted to enhance my father’s work, for me it is a precious recognition ».
Finally, the heretic horse, made by Antonello Bonanno Conti: «It is a work of almost 5 meters, in mirror stainless steel. The idea was to achieve a work that reflected reality, which reminded those who observe it that in front of the certainties we must cling stronger for our ability to doubt. It is there that heresy finds space ». Finally, all the elements are lended, bringing the entire path to the urgency of heresy: “In this historical moment anesthetized by a general disorientation and an ephemeral representation of beauty, as an image of the appearance and not of being – observes the master – the courage of a choice of difference as freedom of thought is necessary.
It is therefore necessary to open up in search of the truth, of the good, of the right without fear of being heretical. Heretic is those who do not think how the system imposes, they are removed, manipulated, approved, silenced, canceled in saying and being listened to ». Suite d’Autore The inaugurated works frame the atelier on the sea – Asteroid20049 antonononopresti.
