La Blindarte contemporanea è lieta
di invitarti sabato, 20 marzo 2010 dalle ore 19 all’opening della mostra
Undefined borders for unlimited perceptions che inaugura i nuovi spazi
espositivi della galleria a Napoli, in via Caio Duilio
10.
Il group show prevede la
partecipazione di 13 artisti, quasi tutti già in stretto rapporto con la
galleria, invitati a confrontarsi con il titolo della mostra nell’ambizioso
tentativo di svelare, ognuno attraverso le proprie personali ricerche, uno dei
momenti più interessanti del processo
creativo.
Non è credibile una
realtà in cui non siano presenti confini, limiti e regole; una realtà dove lo
spazio, il tempo e le azioni non siano definite entro schemi spesso rigidi e
precisi.
Continuamente, per esterne
imposizioni o per personali considerazioni, ci imponiamo regole che, sempre più
invadenti, chiudono nuovi confini e limitano i nostri
pensieri.
Tuttavia molti di questi
limiti non appaiono così netti, così ovvi, ma ci derivano dall’appartenenza a
gruppi, culture, tradizioni che, se da un lato offrono garanzie, dall’altro
nascondono le potenzialità ed i benefici di un diverso punto di
vista.
L’artista, forse più di ogni
altro, quando porta avanti un processo creativo, supera le barriere fisiche e
psicologiche, liberando e aprendo le menti alle più svariate
percezioni.
Ciascuno degli
artisti invitati ha interpretato il titolo della mostra proponendo una o più
opere, molte delle quali appositamente realizzate per la
mostra:
Simon Boudvin
presenta Autori, un progetto di 8 scatti fotografici realizzati in giro
per le strade e le piazze di Parigi dove si trovano le statue dei celebri
scrittori e scultori: Bernard Palissy, Pierre de Ronsard, Jean-Jacques Rousseau,
Voltaire, Dante Alighieri, Georges Jacques Danton, Denis Diderot, Michel Eyquem
de Montaigne. L’artista, arrampicandosi sulle statue, ha eseguito gli scatti
dall’altezza dei loro occhi, mostrandoci il loro punto di
vista.
Simon Boudvin (FR ,
1979) vive e lavora a Parigi, conta già due personali in galleria nel 2006 e nel

Angela Detanico e Rafael Lain hanno tratto spunto
dagli studi compiuti da Nathaniel Bowditch nel 1802 sulle relazioni tra le
lettere dell’alfabeto e le time zones, ancora oggi utilizzati nella navigazione,
per realizzare A given time in a given place (Zulu time), un grande wall
drawing dove viene ricreata una nuova mappa del mondo che mostra le time zones
con entrambi i significati cartografici e
linguistici.

Benny Dröscher dipinge
due tele in cui, come sempre nelle sue opere, la percezione di assenza di
confini investe le opere nella sua totalità. Sull’intenso blu-cielo delle tele
vengono dipinti armonicamente insieme elementi simbolici della natura ed
elementi astratti, creando una rappresentazione che riesce a travalicare il
supporto pittorico invadendo l’intera visuale del visitatore, al punto che le
tele risultano dipinte senza un verso prestabilito, ma possono essere osservate
da tutti i diversi punti di vista.
Benny Dröscher (DK) vive e lavora a Copenhagen. Espone

Blindarte contemporanea is glad to invite you Saturday, 20
March 2010 from 7.00 p.m., to the opening of the show Undefined borders for
unlimited perceptions which opens the new exhibition spaces of our gallery
in Naples, via Caio Duilio 10.
The group show includes the participation of 13 artists, almost all
of them already in close relationship with the gallery, who were invited to
challenge the title of the show in an ambitious attempt to disclose one of the
most interesting moments of the creation process, each one through his/her
personal research.
A reality
where there are not boundaries, limits and rules is not credible; a reality
where space, time and actions are not defined within schemes that are often
strict and definite.
Because of
external commands or personal considerations, we keep on imposing more and more
interfering rules which create new boundaries and limit our thoughts.
Nevertheless, many of these limits
are not that clear and that evident, but they result from our belonging to
groups, cultures, traditions which - although they are reliable – hide the
potentials and benefits of different points of view.
The artist, more than any other
people, when carrying out creation processes, goes beyond the physical and
psychological barriers, setting minds free and open to different
perceptions.
Each invited artist
has interpreted the title of the show by proposing one or more works, many of
which have been created purposely for the show:
Simon Boudvin presents
Auteurs, a project made of 8 snapshots taken in the streets and places of
Paris where there are the statues of famous writers and sculptors: Bernard
Palissy, Pierre de Ronsard, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire, Dante Alighieri,
Georges Jacques Danton, Denis Diderot, Michel Eyquem de Montaigne. The artist,
climbing on the statues, took pictures at the height of their eyes, by showing
their point of view.
Simon
Boudvin (FR , 1979) lives and works in Paris. He already had two solo shows
at the Gallery in 2006 and 2009. Since 2001, he has been displaying in galleries
and public areas in many places in France and other countries such as Italy,

Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain got inspired by the
studies carried out by Nathaniel Bowditch in 1802 about the relationship between
the letters of the alphabet and time zones, still used in navigation, to create
A given time in a given place (Zulu time), a large wall drawing where a
new map of the world is reproduced, showing the time zones with the cartographic
and linguistic meanings.
Angela

Benny Dröscher paints two canvas were, as usual in his
artworks, the perception of the absence of boundaries completely fills the
artwork. On the intense sky blue of the canvas, symbolic elements of nature and
abstract elements are painted in harmony, creating an image that goes beyond the
canvas by invading the view of the visitor completely, so that canvas seem to be
painted without a fixed direction, but they can be observed from any point of
view.
