COMPETITION ANNOUNCEMENT TO GET AN ARTISTIC ACCOMODATION BETWEEN 14^TH AND 30^TH AUGUST 2016 – ANTICOLI CORRADO (ROME)

The Civico Museo d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea of Anticoli Corrado has launched a competition announcement for young artists, to allocate them an artistic accommodation between 14^th and 30^th August 2016. The first goal of such initiative is let young artists re-experience the old atmosphere that artists of 19^th and 20^th century used to be surrounded by. In fact, hundreds of artists went to Anticoli Corrado, fascinated by the town, the landscape and the people. The accommodation is located in one of the ancient rebuilt buildings, and it’s five minutes walking from Piazza delle Ville; the artist, during the two weeks, will have to work on a project related with the land, no matter the artistic language and the techniques he chooses. Works will be exhibited by middle of September 2016 in a special exhibition for artists who stayed in the accommodation. Artists will work together with the Museum and with the event organizer.

The work made by Velasco Virali is coming in the Rectorate’s yard at Università di Torino. It will remain there until November.

Two naked men carrying a long shining ship, upside-down on the shoulders, keeping their heads inside, in Università di Torino’s rectorate.

This is a symbolic dialogue, a perfect dialogue between the sculpture and the University’s yard. The aim is focusing on the relation between the society and its path, supported and lightened by culture.

”This work is often seen as a representation of the immigration social problem. Actually is something different: an insecurity moment, something that is about to happen, that must happen and that will happen for everybody. It’s a moment in which your life inevitably changes, going from cheerfulness to responsibility. It can be a social, economic, or political responsibility. I didn’t think of a ship laying over the bodies of people carrying it, but of a house. The outline of this sculpture is a man drawing a tent, a house, a roof. The roof is the horizon that limits him.”
