Friday 15th June 2012 (at 18.00) at the Mole Vanvitelliana (Quay Giovanni Da Chio, 28 - Ancona) is the opening date for the third event in the contemporary art project Arrivals and Departures, promoted by the Fondo Mole with the collaboration of the Ancona Municipal Culture Service and with the support of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers - Youth Department and the Marches Regional Administration.
The natural choice for the project was the city of Ancona which, given its barycentric position between Europe and the Mediterranean, is the ideal place for the confluence of creative individuals hailing from different countries. The project events and exhibitions are held at the Mole Vanvitelliana, a fortified citadel and former Lazaretto just a stone’s throw from the port, which in recent years has become the city’s hub of artistic production. Arrivals and Departures stands as the preamble and point of departure for the Biennale de la Méditerranée to be held at Ancona in 2013.
Arrivals and Departures, which will continue throughout the summer until 2nd September, is the third stage in an artistic project dedicated to artists under 35. Having presented in the previous stages the most significant artistic experiences in Italy and Europe, the project is now extended to the space of the Mediterranean.
Young artists from various countries were selected on the basis of artistic production (painting, drawing, installation, photography, video and performance) along a thread whose compass and hub was social interpretation and artistic intervention of an aesthetic-political nature. A mosaic was thus built up consisting of dissonances, fractures, absences and some encounters, whose distinguishing and unifying feature is a language that speaks in the code of contemporaneity. The invited artists’ individual trajectories therefore share a common langue: which does not mean that they are tesserae comprising a single design. The choices of curator Elettra Stamboulis concentrated on artists who place the accent on geography, understood not as a device but as a tool of knowledge and representation: physical boundary, landscape perceived and depicted, the drawing of places of the soul, the intersecting and often conflicting destinies that cannot be silenced in a falsely harmonious ideology of a non-reconciled Mediterranean. The works on show are inhabited by nostalgia and absence, refutation of the single thought, by the will to reveal, but often also the irony which, precisely, unveils and places a stake on the future.
The works exhibited at Ancona by more than 25 artists taking part in this year’s event, from 17 countries and 3 continents, offer a great emotive as well as aesthetic impact. Many of the works have a deep political and civic value, and many of them elicit an interactive relationship with the public.
The central exhibition at the Mole will be flanked by a series of events envisaging the extraordinary opening of Porta Pia with Porta Pia | open academy and residence (a project devised by Ljudmilla Socci and promoted by the association white.fish.tank with the collaboration of Andrea Bruciati) including artist residences and ateliers. On the one hand there is an exhibition itinerary – set up in collaboration with the Marches Region Fine Arts Academies – which aims to generate ideas for interchanges between the students and the artists invited to take part; and on the other hand there is an in-depth section where the artists Marco Strappato, Valerio Nicolai and Julien Tiberi, in close relationship with curators Eva Comuzzi, Alice Ginaldi and Silvia Colaiacomo, will be setting up a site specific show that favours an “open” projectuality, from the local to the global, towards multiple interpretations and perspectives.
