Project Prophecies

looking up to heaven

The ark

In the audience hall of Petrarch `s the image of a boat in the center gives us the vision of an ark, a sculptural element that flows through the floor like a ship on the sea, its shell are the seats where they have traveled countless spectators, transported by art of the theater.
The figurehead, inevitable element of any good ship brings the image of the poet who guides the waves chasing the mists of misunderstanding `.
Powerful symbol of hope and salvation, chosen as a metaphor for the need to share not to be overwhelmed; ark in fact met and lived together men of different races are beasts and animals grazing.
The ark as a treasure chest of culture to be passed, a metaphor of today can and must match identities and religions to understand them and preserve them in constructive confrontation.
The ark-boat as a symbol of the journey, crossing Entries Entries and exploration, the result of `genius of man, guided by the hand of God in a dream, the dream is in fact, watching the vehicle of prophecy as revealed truth.
The spectacular sculpture, designed and built by Paul Figar and Franco Spano ', connects the exhibition project "Prophecies" that the `cultural association is organizing the` Prologue Autumn 2012.
`The installation was carried out only with materials found in Petrarch's room, underlining a fresh approach, stimulated by` immediate perception and improvisation performed by the authors. Use this collection of structured form to the boat, the wood material gives it the right realism while remaining true to its original use.

Intervention is also linked to the realization of a series of graphics on prophecies made by artists who have joined the project final exhibition to be held in November 2012 at the Palazzo Attems Petzenstein, prestigious seat of the Provincial Museums of Gorizia.
The graphic items in the folder in groups of three will be available for the purchase during the festival will then be presented in èStoria headquarters of the association and in other locations yet to be determined, will also be exhibited and reproduced in the exhibition catalog. This operation is designed to self-finance the project and its promotion.

The installation will then mail via Petrarca èStoria visited during festival May 18 to 20
