The first exhibition presents the work of Cicchinè Roberto, Paolo Consorti, Armando Fanelli, Giovanni Manunta Shepherd, Josephine Sassu and Gabriele Silvi, to treat the event and the texts of collective Dario Ciferri .
Naturacultura is the third round of review Too! (Marconi Gallery exaggerates) and is an invitation to reflect on the future of our species, our world and our way of life. Art osserva la contemporaneità e dà voce e forma a speranze, paure, inquietudini e sogni. Lo sguardo di Naturacultura a tratti è limpido e a tratti onirico, non esiste un percorso unico né una verità assoluta, bensì mille percorsi possibili per ricreare un rapporto di rispetto e un domani sul nostro pianeta, che è anche l'unico che abbiamo a disposizione.
" Le civiltà antiche consideravano la terra come madre, la natura era vista come portatrice di ricchezza e prosperità, fornitrice di messi e cibo. L'umanità ha sempre guardato con nostalgia al ritorno a una mitica età dell'oro in cui la terra elargisca le sue ricchezze senza che l'uomo should work. Yet this idyllic vision has always turn a vision of nature as uncontrollable force, irrational, capricious and cruel. Human beings have always struggled with nature and tried to enslave it to their needs.
Nature and culture are close and distance continued, is a deep relationship and radical art has drawn, and draws on the natural concept in a consistent manner. The idea of \u200b\u200bnature can not be understood only as the natural environment, because it touches many aspects, from the human soul to the universe, from the ecosystem to life and suffering that living beings suffer and they suffer. The human being is part of this complex intreccio, non può dominare la natura né subirla passivamente. È nella ricerca di un equilibrio con la madre terra che si esplicita la possibilità della vita per l'uomo e per tutte le altre creature che con lui condividono l'universo. Naturacultura racconta tutto questo attraverso i diversi linguaggi dell'arte e i percorsi di ricerca degli artisti che espongono".
(Dario Ciferri)
«[...] che la natura del mondo non è stata per nulla disposta
dal volere divino per noi: di così grande difetto essa è dotata.
In primo luogo, di quanto copre l'ampia distesa del cielo,
una grande parte è occupata da monti e selve
dominio di belve, la posseggono rupi e deserte paludi
e il mare che vastamente disgiunge le rive delle terre.
Inoltre, quasi due terzi il bruciante calore
e l'assiduo cadere del gelo li tolgono ai mortali.
What remains of farmland, nature with its strength
the cover of brambles, however, if you do not resist the force of man,
accustomed to the needs of life to wail on the robust
hoe and plow the land, driving them to the bottom of the plow " .
( Titus Lucretius Carus De rerum natura - Paper V)
A new survey for the sixteenth year of operation, in a renewed Marconi Gallery in form but strongly rooted in the substance of its own search path, it already seems too . But there can be enough. The hope is to work again with consistency, stubbornness and the desire to grow, remaining always in step with the times, capturing ideas and changes of our time, and this seems too . There is no arrogance or immodesty, but the show was titled 2010 2011 Too (Galleria Marconi exaggerates) because in a world where the crisis is e tocca purtroppo la vita di milioni di persone, dove tutti noi siamo sottoposti a tagli e a restrizioni dei diritti fondamentali, abbiamo avvertito il desiderio di debordare, non solo fisicamente.
Marconi Gallery and the Municipal Administration of Cupra Marittima (Department of Culture) present Natureculture , on Sunday 23 rd January at 6,00 p.m. It's a project with three group expositions that wants to draw attention to the controversial and fascinating relationship between nature and culture.
The first exhibition proposes the works by Roberto Cicchiné, Paolo Consorti, Armando Fanelli, Giovanni Manunta Pastorello, Josephine Sassu and Gabriele Silvi . Dario Ciferri is the curator of the event and of the texts.
Natureculture is the third appointment of the series Too Much! (Marconi Gallery exagerates), and it is an invitation to reflect about the future of our species, of our world and of our lifestyle. Art observes the contemporary and gives voice and shape to hopes, fears, concerns and dreams. Natureculture glance is sometimes clear and sometimes dreamlike, a unique path doesn't exist, neither an absolute truth, but thousand of possible paths, which could recreate a respectful relationship and a future on our planet, the only one we have at our disposal.
"The ancient civilizations considered the earth as a mother, nature was seen as a bearer of prosperity and abundance, supplier of food and crops. Hunanity has always looked back nostalgically to a regained mythical golden age where the earth gives its richnesses without any working by men. Nevertheless, a vision of nature as an uncontrollable and irrational, capricious and cruel force has always been juxtaposed to that idyllic vision. The human being has always fought against the nature and has always tried to enslave it to his own needs.
Nature and culture continuously approach and move away, it's a deep and radical relationship, art has constantly drawn on the natural concept. The idea of nature cannot be understood only as natural environment, as it touches on many aspects, from human soul to cosmos, from ecosystem to life and to the misery human beings suffer and make others suffer. Human being is part of this complex interweaving, he cannot dominate the nature neither passively undergo it. The possibility of life for man and for all the other creatures, which he shares the universe with, comes from the research of a balance with Mother Earth. Natureculture tells all this through the different art languages and the research paths of the artists in the expositions.

A new series for the sixteenth year of activity, in the renewed spaces of Marconi Gallery, but strongly roteed in its research course. All this would seem already Too much . But it cannot be sufficient. Our hope is to work still coherently, with our being willful and wanting to grow, always behind the times, capturing ideas and changes of our time. All this would seem Too much as well. There is neither arrogance nor immodesty but the 2010-2011 series is just entitled Too Much ( Marconi Gallery exagerates) , Because in a world Where There Is The Crisis That is involving million of people, where, everyone of us is subjected to cuts and Restrictions of The Fundamental Rights, we feel the desire to overflow, and not only physically.
