TALKING ABOUT SPACE AND TIME OF THE LANDSCAPE
ROME-"Space and Time in Landscape", a conversation among Bernd Wolfgang Lindemann, Maria Vittoria Marini Clarelli and Flavio de Marco, will take place at Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia.
The event, which will be held on Saturday 5 April, intends to present a contribution to the reflection on landscape painting, by taking inspiration from the recent publication of the book "Stella" by Flavio de Marco (Danilo Montanari publisher).
Speakers will explore the theme of landscape from diverse perspectives in order to present the audience with a thoughtful and articulated view of this painting genre.
Bernd Wolfgang Lindemann, director of Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, will explore the theme of Space and Time in Art: landscape as the archetype of an eye-opening vision; Maria Vittoria Marini Clarelli, director of Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome will speak about Space and Time in History: an island as software of Art History styles. The artist will interact with the speakers by relating theoretical and critical features to his formal research.
The book was realized for de Marco's exhibitions at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin (August/September 2013) and Frankendael Foundation in Amsterdam (December 2013/February 2014) displaying works and drawings from his new project of the same name; the third and last stage of the project will be at Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome in June 2014.
The project consists of paintings and drawings depicting landscapes, where the artist represents an artificial island, set in the Aegean Sea, by taking landscape paintings from art history and illustrations of real landscapes as models.
The book, created by the artist in its entirety, looks like a sort of a travel guide on an artificial island. The text is matched with images and details of paintings and drawings. Most of the book is dedicated to the characterization of the geographical and landscape structure, but it is also a journey through Western painting at the time of low cost flights (and the new geography of the planet being sketched anew by the world wide web) and articulated by an analysis of the status of art.
