PALESTRA | group exhibition
Exhibitions, Italy, Milano, 07 July 2011
Palestra. The historic hall is the gym that has been set of the filming of some scenes from the movie "Rocco and His Brothers," directed by Luchino Visconti in 1960, the apex of the post-war Italian cinema, neorealism by origin and by definition, of which film Visconti is was one of its initiators with De Sica and Zavattini. The quote is not random. In the same year, 1960, the influence of Italian neo-realism is then revealed in a film more indicative of the Cuban film "Historias de la Revolución." It is Tomás Gutiérrez Alea (Havana, December 11, 1928 - April 16, 1996) one of the greatest directors of the twentieth century Cuban. Alea, who just completed his law studies he moved to Rome to attend the Experimental Centre of Cinematography, returns to Cuba in 1953 doing business uninterrupted in the years preceding the victory of the revolution on the island. With the Revolution Alea says: [... the watchword was to take the new reality and find ways to express it and express themselves through film.]. It is also the film that inspired the title of the Cuban presence at the Biennale di Venezia with the exhibition Cuba Mon Amour by Duccio Trombadori and Jorge Fernandez, and recalling the title of the film by Alain Resnais' Hiroshima Mon Amour ".

Gym emphasizes on the one hand through a tour of exhibitions, events and artists, the activities carried out by the Cultural Cubeart since its first event ContemporaneaCuba2007. The exhibition includes different events and projects in Cuba, up to the project, Non Profit Art + in 2010 dedicated to young artists under thirty, which takes place every year in Cuba and in Italy and boasts the participation of Cuban artists, Italian, and European many other parts of the world. An 'important cultural and artistic relationship between Cuba and Italy, then, that has created a sort of union between the parts of poetic thought and aesthetic form of relief and international prestige. Gym is also an exercise in experimentation, a place of research and innovation and how to write art criticism Clear Channel in 2007: [... a very diverse landscape, able to embrace all the complexity, beyond formulas have unique stylistic consistency, and each time to give testimony through different variations of expression: the new figuration with abstraction opera-style post-impressionist, neo-Cubist scans gestural informality; moralism Mexico up to Surrealism naive impression].
