ARIE ITALIANE
2 October / 30 October 2021
The Villa Toppo-Wassermann hosts the exhibition of contemporary artists “Arie italiane“. Built in the sixteenth century on the site of a medieval farm and then largely remodelled in the eighteenth century, the villa was a holiday resort and administrative headquarters for the Toppo family. With the extinction of the family, the propriety of the building was transferred to the public administration and today belongs to the Municipality of Travesio (Pordenone). Fifty artists display their works including painting, mixed techniques, sculpture and digital art. The exhibition is enriched by an Italiarts catalogue. Critical text by Boris Brollo and on the cover a work by the artist Giorgio Celiberti.
"Art is now divided between a highly effective artisanal manipulation, and some particular presences that must be subtracted from the imperiousness of the figurative and non-figurative images, which dominates us in every step we take. It is not possible to indicate which form of art to direct us towards today, considering the extreme individuality and questionability of the choices. It is in the creative sphere of this melting pot that will probably be born, if not a new artistic current, a new image that expresses the time we live in. Just as every song that is born is linked to the moment and among the many beautiful ones, you can choose the best one. For this reason and in memory of our great musical season of the past, we wanted to call this exhibition 'Arie Italiane'."
