Il Festival the Festival IL FESTIVAL THE FESTIVAL La Liguria, antico centro di produzione di ceramiche conosciute e apprezzate in tutto il mondo e, sin dal Medioevo, importante crocevia del commercio di manufatti in ceramica provenienti dall’Oriente e dalle sponde del Mediterraneo è il teatro di questo Festival internazionale dedicato alla maiolica, che avrà come scenario le sedi principali delle antiche manifatture di ceramica di questa regione: Albissola Marina, Albisola Superiore, Genova e Savona. La manifestazione comprende una serie di eventi tutti incentrati sulla ceramica: mostre di carattere storico, mostre – mercato, concorsi e rassegne, convegni, laboratori, presentazioni, itinerari e spettacoli. Un’occasione unica per riscoprire un’affascinante produzione artistica che offre ancora oggi prodotti di altissimo livello e un’opportunità per visitare ville, palazzi, collezioni e musei solitamente chiusi al pubblico: veri e propri tesori nella cornice di panorami mozzafiato. Il tema prescelto per l'edizione 2009 è il FUTURISMO di cui ricorre il centenario. La prima parte del Festival, dal 18 al 27 aprile, ha il suo epicentro nelle Albisole e Savona, la seconda parte a Genova dal 28 aprile al 3 maggio. La manifestazione si inaugura la mattina del 18 aprile nella splendida cornice della Villa Faraggiana di Albissola Marina. Liguria, antique centre of production of pottery, well known and appreciated all over the world and, since the Middle Ages, important cross– road of the pottery trade coming from the Far East as well as from the coasts of the Mediterranean, is the seat of this international festival dedicated to the art of maiolica, to be held in her main locations of antique pottery manufactories: Albisola Superiore, Albissola Marina, Genoa and Savona. The festival will include historical as well as sale exhibitions, contests, shows, meetings and conferences, work– shops and guided tours. A special occasion to discove a glamorous artistic production of very high quality and also a possibility to visit villas, palaces, museums and its historical collections, usually not open to the public. The selected theme for 2009 edition is Futurismo whose bicentenary occurs this year. The first part of the festival, from April 18th to april 27th will take place in Albissola and Savona, the second part in Genoa from May 28th and May 3th. The exhibition's opening ceremony will be held on april 19th in the magnificent framework of Villa Fareggiana in Albissola Marina. 1 LA MAIOLICA THE MAIOLICA La maiolica ligure inizia la sua trionfale affermazione nel XVI secolo, quando, grazie all’ottima qualità degli impasti, alla brillantezza degli smalti e alla finezza dei decori, diviene oggetto di una vastissima diffusione che comprende non solo i paesi europei ma anche il Nuovo Mondo. Dalle manifatture delle Albisole, di Savona e di Genova, protagoniste, insieme alle altre arti, del “Secolo d’oro dei Genovesi”, escono i grandi servizi da tavola per le corti e per le famiglie aristocratiche d’Europa, i monumentali vasi da farmacia e gli oggetti d’arredo per le dimore nobiliari. Questa splendida stagione prosegue nel Settecento con una produzione sempre di elevato livello e ricchissima di nuove tipologie di forme e decori. I fasti della maiolica ligure vengono rinverditi nel Novecento dalle Albisole che, grazie alla presenza di ceramisti di eccezionale livello, come Tullio e Torido Mazzotti e al loro sodalizio con artisti e poeti provenienti anche da lontani paesi, divengono le protagoniste di uno fra i più importanti capitoli dell’arte contemporanea. Accanto alla produzione delle manifatture locali che portano avanti l’antica tradizione, questo fervore artistico prosegue ancora oggi, grazie ad eventi che richiamano nuovamente artisti di fama internazionale a lavorare nelle manifatture e botteghe liguri e all’attività di numerosissimi circoli e gallerie. Innumerevoli sono le tracce di questa grande produzione artistica in campo ceramico, rappresentate da collezioni pubbliche e private, rivestimenti parietali e pavimentali di edifici storici, opere in parchi, ville, giardini e passeggiate, arredi urbani, studi e case d’artista e dalla presenza di strumentazioni di lavoro di rilevante interesse per la storia della tecnica e per la scienza, veri e propri reperti di archeologia industriale. Per valorizzare degnamente l'anniversario del Futurismo è stato indetto un concorso "Brocche e Vasi del Futurismo" rivolto a ceramisti artigiani, artisti e allievi di Scuole d'arte e Università con sede sul territorio della Liguria. Il concorso che giunge alla sua III edizione ha visto un crescendo di partecipanti fino a superare un centinaio di iscrizioni segno tangibile dell'interesse e sensibilità degli artigiani , artisti e allievi delle scuole. The maiolica pottery of the Ligurian coast begins its triumphal performance in the sixteenth century, when , thanks to the excellent quality of the kneads, the brillance of the tin glazes and the refinement in painted decoration, had a large circulation not only in Europe but also in the New World. The manufactories in the Abissolas, Savona and Genoa produced large table– services for the Courts and for many European aristocratic families, as well as monumental pharmacy vases and other decorative pieces of admirable design. This spectacular season continued in the eighteenth century thanks to a high quality production, rich in new forms and type of decorations. These memorable deeds are taken on new life in the twentieth century when, the two Albissolas, thanks to the presence of excellent artists such as Tullio and Torido Mazzotti and to their brotherwood with artists and poets coming also from far away countries, are the protagonists of one of the most important chapters in contemporary art. In order to worthly celebrate the anniversary of Futurismo, the Brocche e Vasi del Futurismo competion has been set, involving all ceramic craftsmen, artists and students of the Art schools and Universities located in Genoa.Participation in the competion, which is at his third edition, has significantly increased reaching a hundred of registrations, thus proving the interest and sensitivity of the craftmen, artists and students belonging to the schools. 2 LE CITTA’ DELLA MAIOLICA IN LIGURIA TOWNS OF MAIOLICA IN LIGURIA Albissola Marina Definita da Marinetti “Libera Repubblica delle Arti” Albissola Marina è un vero e proprio museo all’aperto. Ma Albissola è una città dalle radici lontane, dove l’aria profuma ancor oggi di storia. Abitata già in età preistorica, fiorente centro romano con il nome di Alba Docilia, comune medievale ed in seguito meta di villeggiatura privilegiata delle famiglie nobili genovesi, Albissola era nota già nella prima metà del secolo XVI per le sue fornaci e per la ceramica. Negli anni ‘30 con l’approdo in città del movimento futurista l’arte esplode ad Albissola e dagli anni ‘50 la presenza di artisti, intellettuali, galleristi, letterati tra i più importanti dell’epoca trasforma l’antico borgo in un luogo d’incontro privilegiato dove si produce arte, si discute, ci si ritrova. Personaggi come Lucio Fontana, Aligi Sassu, Milena Milani, Asger Jorn, il Gruppo Cobra, Wifredo Lam, Agenore Fabbri tracciano un momento storico inimitabile e indimenticabile nella storia albissolese, i cui echi influenzano e stimolano ancora oggi l’intensa vita culturale della città. Defined by Marinetti “Free Republic of the Arts” Albissola Marina is a real open– air museum. But the city of Albissola has distant roots, where today the air still perfumes of history. Already populated in the prehistoric age, growing Roman center named Alba Docilia, medieval commune, afterwards favourite destination of vacations for a lot of Genoese noble families. In the first half of the sixteenth century Albissola was already known thanks to its furnaces and to its ceramics. In the thirties of the just passed century, art explodes in Albissola thanks to the birth of the futuristic movement in the city, and, in the fifties, the presence of artists, intellectuals, art dealers and some of the most important literary men of that age change the ancient suburb into a place of privileged occasion, where art is produced and where people discuss and meet. Artists of importance as Lucio Fontana, Aligi Sassu, Milena Milani, Asger Jorn, the Cobra Group, Wifredo Lam, Agenore Fabbri mark an inimitable and unforgettable historical moment in the history of Albissola, and its echo still influences and stimulates today the intense cultural life of the town. 3 LE CITTA’ DELLA MAIOLICA IN LIGURIA TOWNS OF MAIOLICA IN LIGURIA Albisola Superiore L’arte figulina ad Albisola Superiore è già fiorente nel Medioevo, periodo in cui la città si distingue per essere uno dei principali centri di produzione della ceramica. L’antica arte locale si è conservata viva nei secoli, ispirando fra l’altro il manifesto futurista Ceramica e Aeroceramica di Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. Oggi, fra il verde delle colline e l’azzurro del litorale, le botteghe artigiane rinnovano giorno per giorno remote tecniche di lavorazione e tradizionali decori in esemplari policromi o dal tipico bianco - blu e gli atelier promuovono la sperimentazione e lo scambio di esperienze ospitando i più grandi nomi del panorama artistico internazionale. Ad Albisola Superiore la ceramica è, ai giorni nostri, più che mai realtà nell’ambito riconoscimento di “Città della Ceramica”, nel museo “Manlio Trucco” che custodisce la storia della ceramica e nello straordinario “museo all’aperto” rappresentato dalla passeggiata “Eugenio Montale” naturale e suggestivo scenario di opere di artisti quali Emanuele Luzzati, Bili Bidjocka e Kristian Hornsleth. The union between Albisola Superiore and the art of pottery is already flourishing in the Middle Ages, when the town is well known as one of the main centres in the production of pottery. This ancient local art has been kept alive through the centuries to the present days, inspiring the Futurist Manifesto of Ceramics and Aeroceramics by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. In their ateliers, situated between the green of the hills and the blue of the sea, day after day the artisans use antique techniques and traditional decorations polychrome or in blue and white.

Trasformati e modellati per quasi vent’anni, i due edifici e il giardino rispecchiano l’idea di sintesi immaginista delle arti che l’artista danese ha sempre perseguito: un luogo in cui pittura e scultura sono elementi fondanti l’architettura, in una perfetta coincidenza tra forma e contenuto. In 1957, shortly before founding in Cosio d’Arroscia the Situationist International, Asger Jorn bought two ruins surrounded by brambles above Albissola Marina with the intention of living there.

  • Angela Glajcar's Paper Installations – a Synthesis of Opposites
    Angela Glajcar’s Paper Installations – a Synthesis of Opposites by Andreas Beitin The paper installations by the sculptor Angela Glajcar represent an extraordinary position due to her innovative use of paper as a material, the works’ expansive scope and the resulting aesthetics. In her distinct way, Glajcar demonstrates that paper is not only light and fragile, but can also be very heavy and robust. With her works, she provides viewers with an immediate perception of these diametrically opposed characteristics of the material. As a sculptor, Angela Glajcar began by working with materials such as steel and wood (1997-001 intermittently until 2006-028). However, she has mainly used paper as her raw material for many years now, and has recently also begun to use glass fabric (2010-083, 2011-009). Paper as a material, which remains the material of choice for her installations, has a special meaning for her due to its ability to absorb the ambient light and accentuate its various hues. This is why Angela Glajcar predominantly uses white paper; she “has no need of coloured material.”1 The artist is fascinated by the presence a seemingly light material such as paper can have, when long sheets or great stacks of it dominate its environment. This is why working on-site is the most important part in the creation of her works. Her intuitive reaction to the space, its proportions and lighting conditions whilst negotiating the architectural volumes, and also the reaction to and the surmounting of any disruptive factors that may be present at the given location are decisive aspects during the creation of her installations.

    .06 .10 .2013 .26 .10 .2012 Istruzioni per l’uso Il 2012, a dieci anni dalla sua inaugurazione, è stato per il Mart un anno cruciale di mutazioni profonde. Cristiana Collu, alla guida del Mart, ha invitato lo staff museale a curare una grande mostra “La magnifica ossessione”, in cui vecchio e nuovo si mescolano, opere contemporanee e realizzate due secoli or sono convivono nelle stesse sale, dipinti sconosciuti e capolavori stanno accanto sulle pareti, i preziosi documenti conservati in archivio escono dai loro confini designati e si inseriscono a pieno titolo nel museo a fianco delle opere vere e proprie, in un percorso che attraversa un secolo, il XX, e mostra l’invisibile, il movimento, il lavoro museale, esponendo quasi 3000 oggetti (2784 per l’esattezza), recuperando così vitalità, risvegliando nel visitatore lo stupore, il divertimento, il gusto di attraversare, in un chilometro di cammino, un’area di circa 3.800 mq e vedere in 34 sale e opere di 275 artisti, 418 dipinti, 144 disegni, 100 incisioni, 70 sculture , 11 film e video, 6 installazioni, 6 arazzi, 70 vasellame in ceramica e smalto, 103 manifesti, 328 fotografie, 217 documenti, 1074 mail art, 64 libri d’artista, 20 modelli di architettura, 75 riviste, 78 multipli. Questo modo di concepire la collezione, il suo allestimento, l’intervento degli artisti nel tessuto della mostra, il lavoro corale dei curatori sono la metafora della mostra stessa. L’aspetto ossessivo dell’atto di collezionare mostra i suoi aspetti maniacali, ma al tempo stesso prepara il visitatore anche a visioni inconsuete, il Mart funziona dunque non solo come uno strumento di conservazione del patrimonio ma anche e soprattutto come un laboratorio di idee e un luogo operoso di valorizzazione, produzione, ricerca e formazione culturale.

Potts, Chair Associate Professor Giorgio Bertellini Professor Matthew N. Biro Sharon Hecker Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman Associate Professor Rebecca Zurier Copyright: Antje K. Gamble, 2015 © Acknowledgements As with any large project, this dissertation could not have been completed without the support and guidance of a large number of individuals and institutions. I am glad that I have the opportunity to acknowledge them here. There were a large number of funding sources that allowed me to study, travel, and conduct primary research that I want to thank: without them, I would not have been able to do the rich archival study that has, I think, made this dissertation an important contribution to the field. For travel funding to Italy, I thank the Horace R. Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan for its support with the Rackham International International Research Award and the Rackham Rackham Humanities Research Fellowship. For writing support and U.S.-based research funding, I thank the Department of History of Art at the University of Michigan, the Rackham Graduate School, the Andrew W.

  • Living Art and the Art of Living
    LIVING ART AND THE ART OF LIVING: REMAKING HOME IN ITALY IN THE 1960s Teresa Kittler PhD Thesis History of Art University College London 2014 1 DECLARATION I, Teresa Kittler, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the social, material, and aesthetic engagement with the image of home by artists in Italy in the 1960s to offer new perspectives on this period that have not been accounted for in the literature. It considers the way in which the shift toward environment, installation and process-based practices mapped onto the domestic at a time when Italy had become synonymous with the design of environments. Over four chapters I explore the idea of living-space as the mise-en-scène, and conceptual framework, for a range of artists working across Italy in ways that both anticipate and shift attention away from accounts that foreground the radical architectural experiments enshrined in MoMA’s landmark exhibition Italy: the New Domestic Landscape (1972). I begin by examining the way in which the group of temporary homes made by Carla Accardi between 1965 and 1972 combines the familiar utopian rhetoric of alternative living with attempts to redefine artistic practice at this moment. I then go on to look in turn at the sculptural practice of artists Marisa Merz and Piero Gilardi in relation to the everyday lived experience of home. This question is first considered in relation to the material and psychic challenges Merz poses to the gendering of homemaking with Untitled (Living Sculpture) 1966.

  • ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 3: ISSN 2640-8511 Introduction
    ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 3: ISSN 2640-8511 Introduction ITALIAN MODERN ART - ISSUE 3 | INTRODUCTION italianmodernart.org/journal/articles/introduction-3 Raffaele Bedarida | Silvia Bignami | Davide Colombo Methodologies of Exchange: MoMA’s “Twentieth-Century Italian Art” (1949), Issue 3, January 2020 https://www.italianmodernart.org/journal/issues/methodologies-of- exchange-momas-twentieth-century-italian-art-1949/ ABSTRACT A brief overview of the third issue of Italian Modern Art dedicated to the MoMA 1949 exhibition Twentieth-Century Italian Art, including a literature review, methodological framework, and acknowledgments. If the study of artistic exchange across national boundaries has grown exponentially over the past decade as art historians have interrogated historical patterns, cultural dynamics, and the historical consequences of globalization, within such study the exchange between Italy and the United States in the twentieth-century has emerged as an exemplary case.1 A major reason for this is the history of significant migration from the former to the latter, contributing to the establishment of transatlantic networks and avenues for cultural exchange. Waves of migration due to economic necessity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries gave way to the smaller in size but culturally impactful arrival in the U.S. of exiled Jews and political dissidents who left Fascist Italy during Benito Mussolini’s regime.
