Exhibitions, Italy, Napoli, Sorrento, 17 September 2012
Dear Friends and Artists,

I am pleased to propose to you an original exhibition in Sorrento, with a very minimal cost and with an interesting opportunity of promoting yourself .

The "Accademia della Bussola", with the sponsorship of the City of Sorrento, organizes, at the Biblioteca Comunale of Sorrento in Piazza S. Antonino, from 17 to 23 September 2012, the exhibition entitled: FACSIMILE
As we all know, we live in the age of generalized mechanical reproduction of artworks, and this possibility allows an absolute usability of the creativity of the artist, beyond the limits of time and space, beyond every barrier, allowing the widest dissemination of the knowledge of the works of art, and of the artists of course, to an audience as big as possible.
And that is how an artist can convey emotions, telling his vision of the world, projecting the image of his own art, the very essence of his feelings.
Obviously, the original artwork definitely retains its magic, but the domain of the reproduced image in the age of mass communications, has subverted all the rules and if the purpose of an exhibition is that of promoting an Artist and his Artworks, an accurate reproduction of highest standard can be a good medium to be known and appreciated even without the physical presence of the original.

We think that this can be an exhibition of great originality, which will introduce in a new way of making Art and Culture.
An exhibition of a very original concept that wants to present a selected range of artists from all over the world with their works printed in high definition on a single large sheet that will be affixed on the walls of the entrance hall of the Library of Sorrento in the busy central square of the town and that will be an extraordinary exhibition conceived as a gigantic catalogue.
FACSIMILE wants to be an art show that goes to reiterate and emphasize the power of an artwork that goes beyond its physical presence in the belief that the image by itself is able to convey emotions and vibrations.
The artworks of the participating artists will be printed on a sort of gigantic ad banner that will reproduce works with absolute fidelity thanks to sophisticated printing techniques.
Each artist has at his disposal a space of 2 x 1.50 m in which will be reproduced, printed in size, the participating work, the name and the references of the artist and a brief biography both in Italian and English, which is essential for the massive presence of foreign tourists in the period chosen for the exhibition.
The participating artists will exhibit within the constraints imposed by the size of 2x 1,50m, the images of one or even of more works. Then they will send the file reproducing the works chosen in high resolution. The Organization has the responsibility of printing on the banner made of cloth the file in high-resolution, ensuring the maximum color fidelity.
At the end of the exhibition the cloth will be cut and each segment will be sent to the respective authors.
The participation fee is € 100.00 and it includes the reproduction of the art works, the installation of the banner and the print of advertising.
