Michelangelo Pistoletto for Rimini:
from December 17, 2006 until February 18, 2007 Amare, an installation
between water and earth on the beach at RiminiThe project Amare (“Loving”) by Michelangelo Pistoletto will be placed on the beach in Rimini (Italy) from the 17th of December until the 18th of February 2007, for the series of events titled “Rimini, winter sea”. It is a site-specific installation, conceived to be placed on the sandy beach in front of Rimini’s Grand Hotel depicted by Fellini’s movies, a cricual place for the city’s cultural and economical life. A mirroring plate (20 metres wide) will be placed on the beach, facing the city, so that the people passing by will be able to mirror, reflect,measure and find themselves. The result will be an enigmatic and mimetic exchange, where the viewer will find himself inhabiting not the city , but its reflected image, with the sea in the background. The work Amare is the symbol of an artistic and cultural manifesto, in an anthropological sense, where Pistoletto reassembles the different parts of a unity fostering the idea of difference in its various meanings. A verb often used in Cittadellarte’s slogans and activities, “to love” in Italian can be also read as a hint to the main character of Rimini: the sea (a-mare, at sea). The huge mirroring puzzle, facing the city, reflects its buildings, its waterfront and, finally, its life. Info: comunicazione@ondalibera.net |

The Minimum Prize 2006 to ReMida: awarding
ceremony on December 19th at Cittadellarte Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto awarded the Minimum Prize 2006 to ReMida, a centre for the creative recycling of industrial waste, a place where waste materials become resources, to be trasformed through creativity. In 1996 in Reggio Emilia (Italy) the first ReMida centre was opened: waste was collected, reinvented and exhibited, supplying schools, teachers, cultural operators with materials, workshops, seminars and conferences. ReMida network today counts ten centres in Italy, five in Denmark and one in Australia. The Minimum Prize, now at its sixth edition, is dedicated to those who initiate a process of responsible transformation in society. Cittadellarte awarded 2006 prize, recognizing the transformation carried out by ReMida project, for its socially responsible aim of respecting the co-exhistance of nature and artifact. This idea is fully embodied by the work at Fondazione Pistoletto, so that in 2006 a new ReMida centre opened at Cittadellarte during the exhibition “"Art at the centre of a Responsible Transformation of Society 2006: the game". The awarding cerimony will take place at Cittadellarte on the 19th of December, starting at 5,30 p.m. Info: remidabiella@cittadellarte.it |
