Introduction: (At the moment in Italian available)
Un nutrito gruppo di figure note a livello nazionale e internazionale ed un gruppo di artisti emergenti, sono stati posti in dialogo con l'intento di raccontare la figura antropologica dell'uomo selvatico, direttamente collegato ad una concezione di contesto primigenio, nella sua accezione antropomorfa, teriomorfa e fitomorfa. Da questa riflessione é scaturito un progetto che riunisce esempi distanti e fantasiosi, raccolti in una mostra dichiaratamente in debito con il territorio che la ospita, fondamentale e propedeutico per una corretta lettura interpretativa dei lavori che oltre a connotarsi grazie al contesto lo fanno anche in reciproca relazione.

L'uomo selvaggio si definisce come un'entitá che vive lontano dagli insediamenti umani, a stretto contatto con la natura, rifiutando (e talvolta ignorando) il sistema di convenzioni sociali, economiche e culturali che siamo abituati a definire come civiltá e progresso; un mito che si manifesta con una grande varietá di ruoli e valenze: uomo-animale, uomo-vegetale, divinitá, mostro, santone, demone, sciamano, trickster, guaritore, eremita, (auto) emarginato, naturista, buffone, stregone, troglodita, saggio, santo, veggente, maniaco sessuale, rapitore di bambini, antropofago, fino ad essere considerato come un pericolo pubblico;

Al contrario, spesso, il termine connota un essere incontaminato dalle corruzioni della civiltá, vicino all'idea del "buon selvaggio" ottocentesco. Il corrispettivo-modello animale per l'uomo selvaggio piú frequentemente l'orso, in alcuni casi riconducibile alle sembianze delle scimmie antropomorfe e dei primati ("orang utan" significa "uomo selvaggio" in malese); viene inoltre spesso associato con figure mitologiche come i satiri, fauni e sileni, spaziando fino ai soggetti umani con una particolaritá fisica. Prima fra tutte, il fenomeno dell'ipertricosi, che conferisce alle persone affette un aspetto animale e selvaggio e finisce in molti casi per trasformarle in emarginati, oppure in fenomeni da circo, gli uomini (oppure figure mitologiche) che subiscono una condanna o penitenza ed infine persone che scelgono liberamente di abbandonare la civiltá umana e di vivere nella natura, per causa di una particolare situazione sociale o psicologica.

Gli artisti, tenendo presenti questi particolari studi antropologici, sono intervenuti sui differenti temi, riuscendo ad approfondirli con l'apporto della loro particolare dote sensibile, creativa ed originale.

SUMMERTIME
Angelo Barile, Matteo Clementi, Constantin, Danilo Di Nenno, Gianluca Doretto, Sam Punzina
13 giugno - 31 luglio 2009
Summertime, estate, tempo di emozioni...é la nuova iniziativa della Galleria PiziArte che inaugurerá il 13 giugno 2009 alle ore 19 in viale Crucioli 75/a a Teramo. Sará strutturata su un percorso espositivo di opere di giovani artisti che creano un vero laboratorio di discussione,una piccola finestra sull'orizzonte di sogni,eventi magici, in cui "colori" e "segni" scolvolgono la filosofia del quotidiano per vivere nello spazio espositivo che diventa "magico contenitore", trionfo di emozioni perdute.
Una mostra tra arte, gioco e trasfigurazione per vivere inconciliabili opposti, con forme che creano una presenza che si dissolve nel momento stesso in cui si cerca di identificarne il significato profondo. La forza creativa dell'esposizione esprime costante interdisciplinarietá, ricerca di differenti modi espressivi, ettenzione all'estetica delle forme e in un gioco di continui rimandi, sfoga il suo bisogno esplosivo di contestualitá e contemporaneitá.
E' questo un avvincente viaggio nell'arte che intinge "il femminil" nel margine tra realtá e sogno, distorce volti e altera fisionomie, cattura spiriti inquieti per proiettarci in un mondo fontastico "di alchimie ed illusioni" quale momento vitale, esodo senza finzione, fatto di fughe, colori accesi e forme fiabesche mettendo a dura prova l'immaginazione plastica del visitatore che senza rendersene conto, vive nell'opera la sua capacitá di esplorare quel mondo intorno e davanti a se che nella realtá difficilmente riesce a vedere.
La saturazione di colori, quali il rosso il blu il verde, crea forti effetti pittorici che rendono percettibili visuali e dettagli offrendoci ampie possibilitá di rielaborazioni delle immagini in un rapporto introspettivo con la materia stessa.
Cosí, tra continuitá e differenze, esplosiono di colori e forme, in un viaggio tra reale e surreale, l'io, incapace di opporre resistenza si fa ricettacolo di immaginazioni ed emozioni perdute.

The following text to the exhibition is at the moment avaiable only in Italian:

In queste recenti opere il corpo continua ad essere il protagonista principale della ricerca di Constantin, dove l'armonia delle forme nell'imperfezione, la sinuositá dei muscoli e del grasso, il pallore della pelle livida di presagi, l'abbondanza della carne che invoglia alla protezione e al disfacimento, o la fragilitá di certe corporature che sembrano sfidare le gravitá, o le assurde contorsioni di arti, rammentano quanto la macchina umana fatta di sangue e carne, sia tanto perfetta e incredibilmente complessa, se non fosse per l'unica pecca che contiene in se; il germe della malattia e il disfacimento nel tempo. A parte ció, il corpo continua ad attrarre con stupore per una complessitá che va oltre la fisicitá; entrare nei meandri delle sensazioni, é esplorarne le profonditá piú segrete, viaggiare nel subconscio o tentare di decifrare qualche sublime impulso elettrico di neurone cerebrale, che insieme danno vita all'anima. Anonimi sono per l'appunto i titoli di questi corpi, (umani senza nomi), spesso messi di schiena, cosí come puó avvenire durante una visita specialistica medica, statici o irrigiditi dalle situazioni, sospesi, mostrano le loro pudiche nuditá senza sensualitá alcuna, ma per quel che sono nella loro anatomia d'essere umano. Questi corpi-cavia si prestano a ipotetici studi scientifici (in sovrapposizione si leggono calcoli, formule scritte come fossero appunti), ma contemporaneamente emanano strane figure zoomorfe, in antitesi con ogni barlume di ragione, come mezzi conigli, mezzi uomini, piccoli mostri alla Bosh, che invadono sia lo spazio che il corpo. Queste figure irrazionali che emergono dall'interno dell'essere, sono il ritratto interiore di ognuno, perché nascono da quell'intrigo enorme di complessitá, che nella sua unicitá creano l'individuo come persona. Il mistero che ognuno ha dentro, fobie, sogni, desideri, angosce, perversioni, demoni, varia da persona a persona e si materializza in forme diverse in un tutt'uno col soggetto rappresentato e in totale complementarietá. L'operare artistico di Constantin affronta la difficoltá tematica con chiave ironica e paradossale ma il suo é un tentativo demiurgico di riflessione sull'essere umano, tra l'essere e l'apparire e tra un oceano di dubbi.

It is not exactly easy to translate the original Hungarian title of the exhibition but it's worth at least trying to give an explanation in order to have a taste of the skewed angles and twists that are so tipical of Naomi Devil's way of thinking.

The title is playing with words. A subtle grammatical mistake leads to a totally different meaning. The Hungarian expressions 'a világhálón' and 'a világhálóban' are both acceptable saying 'on the world wide web'. Although the first one is more natural. Separating the two parts of the compound word in the second version like 'a világ hálóban' gives a new meaning to the expression which is now saying 'The world caught in a web'. A further trick is necessary to preserve both meanings. The reader must be unsure wether the blank is there or not. This trick is done if the title is encrypted using the geek language of computer freaks: /\::\/1L46::H4L0B4N

The exhibition features at about 40 works of the young Hungarian artist including the paintings previously shown at the exhibition titled 'Maddict' (Media addict) at the Accademy of Fine Arts in Vienna on the occasion of her graduation in June. Thought-provoking, intriguing, intelligent... an exhibition certainly worth visiting.

CONSTANTIN
MEAT
YOU PAY TWO AND GET ONE FREE
EXHIBITION IN THE PRISCIANI ART SUITE GALLERY
18TH FEBRUARY - 18TH MARCH, 2007
ADDRESS: VIA GARIBALDI 70, FERRARA
CURATOR: MARIA LIVIA BRUNELLI

I fell in love at first sight with Constantin's meat paintings. I think they follow faithfully the long figurative tradition that spans from the works of Rembrandt, Annibale Carracci, through that of Lucien Freud, until the paintings of the young English artist, Jenny Saville.

The idea however that lies behind these works is even more contemporary and actual. The real power of Constantin's paintings resides in those 'Ipercoop'* and 'Esselunga'* labels that are attached on the painted meat. Nowadays there are heaps of animal-meat on the shelves in the hypermarket but what if the fancy of nature produces a species superor to humans? We could all finish our lives here the same way, labelled with a sticker that gives information about our net weight and origin.

The young artist from Toskany explains: 'We create artificially perfect ideals that contradict nature and we avert our eyes from decay. We try to take distance from every thought regarding death. Death is however part of our lives, it is simply the end of it.

The emotional need to contemplate the fragility of existence has led my eyes to browse on the chilly shelves of the display cases in the hypermarket where hundreds of little white polystyrene biers are heaped up, each bearing a bodypart of animals. that had been lacerated, quatered and chopped to pieces.

I have noticed in these places of superaboundance, which by God's generosity are filled with all kind of earthly and heavenly goods, where consumption is the Word of God, that Death has lurked in unceremoniously and has put up his stand at the butcher's department. There is everyday violance and misfortune on show. One wonders however how ordinary the place still may seem.

The smell of blood, the faint odour of animal fat, the intense shades of red, the rich crimson reflections on the meat are all in vain subdued by the antiseptical neon lights as the little biers lie on the comfortingly shining stainless-steel shelves of display cases, they still evoke the unnoticedly suffered everyday violance and ill-fortune of a life, even if it is the life of an animal.

Upon the whole neither we, human beeings are anything else than a bit more sophisticated animals. I wouldn't be surprised at all if one day I found myself under the cellophane nude, cut to pieces, identified carefully with a barcode and labelled: 'NATIONAL ARTIST' 'RAISED AND PROCESSED IN ITALY'. We are nothing else as meat ourselves. Let's make a profit of it than in the consumer society where in the end everything can be merchandised! Take it! You pay two and get one free!

The last hypermarket advertising slogan is a porovocative invitation to all potential buyers of Constantin's work. It is a bargain that Constantin has decided to keep for this one, single, never returning occasion with all those who want to take home three of his paintings.

A piece of writing by Constantin:
Body: substance, material in some kind of state...something that takes up space... the organic part of animals and human beeings... Christ's body, the blessed Host, cadaver, dead body...belly, stomach, abdomen...
The aim of a meat-puzzle is not exclusively ornamental but it is rather an intervention in the human conscience and in the domain of all natural laws that regulate its existence. With some attention one can percieve the warnings of nature regarding the notions of death and pain but one can get consolation as well.

/the text was written by Maria Livia Brunelli in Italian. To read the original text please, visite Constantin's page and have a look at the invitation cards!/



*Ipercoop and Esselunga are hypermarket chains in Italy

A new contemporary gallery and cultural meeting point is going to be inaugurated on 28th January 2007 in an antique palace that was built during the Quattrocento and which is situated in the close vicinity of Palazzo d'Este and Palazzo dei Diamanti in the historic center of Ferrara. The art critique and curator Maria Livia Brunelli is going to open the door of the house containing her collection and making it publicly available. According to her intentions the new MLB Home Gallery is going to be more than a simple exhibition space, it will be a cultural meeting point and a contemporary art-saloon as well.
Maria Livia Brunelli was born in 1972. After finishing her studies at the renowned University of Bologna, where she specialized in art history, she began to build up intense connections with the university, with artists and with curators. She has dedicated her time to the promotion of young talents ever since. On her initiative the 'Iommi Home Gallery' in Bologna was founded. She works closely together with the GAM (Galeria d'Arte Moderna) in Bologna and the MACRO (Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma) in Rom. She organizes together with Francesco Bornami the Biennale of Venice.

Die mit dem Titel 'Liquid Logic. The Height of Knowledge and the Speed of Thought' bis 1. April laufende Ausstellung des Museums für Angewandten Künste in Wien gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in das aktuelle Schaffen von Elke Krystufek. In dieser Ausstellung werden vor allem neue Werke gezeigt, aber die wohlbekannte Performance Künstlerin beschäftigt sich mit Themen die ihr Schaffen seit Jahren bewegen. Sie hinterfragt die Entscheidungskriterien über die Einordnung in ein etabliertes Kunstsystem, und diskutiert die Macht und Ohnmacht der weiblichen Künstlerin in einem männlich dominierten Kunstbetrieb. Sie konfrontiert die Besucher mit Fragen zur Bewahrung von Objekten und zur Sammelswürdigkeit.
Die Vernissage war gleichzeiteg die Premiere des Films Dr. Love on Easter Island, dem in der Ausstellung eine zentrale Bedeutung zukommt. Elke Krystufek realisierte den Film in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Donat Orovac, der als Kameramann sowie Komponist der Filmmusik einen wesentlichen Beitrag geleistet hat.
Eine dreiteilige MAK Abendprogram Serie begleitet die Ausstellung. Vier Künstler, die zu Elke Krystufek zu einem inhaltlichen und künstlerischen Nahverhälniss stehen und von der Künslerin selbst ausgewählt und eingeladen wurden gestalten das Program dieser Kunstabende.
Den Auftakt zu dieser Serie bilden am 23. Jänner um 20 Uhr ein Live-Konzert des Musikers und Filmemachers Donat Orovac sowie eine Performance der Graffiti-Künstlerin Jaye. Donat präsentiert live die CD 'Let me say your name', die Lieder und Texte für den Film 'Dr. Love on Easter Island' enthält, und anlässlich der Ausstellung 'Liquid Logic' aufgenommen wurde.
Die junge Graffiti Künstlerin, Jaye ist Künstelrin der Galerie Diabolus und Studentin der Klasse Kontextuelle Mahlerei an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien, derselbe Klasse, die im akademischen Jahr 2005-2006 von Elke Krystufek geleitet wurde. Jaye beschäftigt sich in ihren Arbeiten hauptsächtlich mit femministischen Themen. Die Kunstwerke der jungen Künstlerin sind tematisch verwandt zu Elke Krystufeks Schaffen. Jaye hält im Rahmen der Abendprogram Serie eine Malperformance, die sie als 'Schlampendekonstrukzionsperformance' bezeichnet.

Narratives, the current exhibition in Kunsthaus Graz, opens the door into a mysterious story-teller's world. The exhibition presents narrative works like a collection of short stories from Austrian artists and artists from the neighbouring countries. Two artist-generations are spinning the yarn of tale in a dialogue of the mind and through the treads of the web the visitor can glimps snapshots of the flow of events and gain momentary insight into stories. The beginning and further development of the stories are lost from sight and remain inscrutable but the visitor gets absorbed and wrapped up in the mysterious atmosphere as he follows the interwoven strands through the amorphous space of the exhibitonhall.
The exhibition is still on view until 14th January, 2007.

Constantin Migliorini, the young Italian painter has recently joined the gallery. He was born in 1974 in Poggibonsi, a small town near Siena in Italy.
He got his degree in fine arts from the Istituto d'Arte of Siena in 1993 and gained admission to the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence in the same year. He complieted his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence in 1999. He won a grant from the Erasmus program and spent a year at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sevilla. Later, owing to an other grant, he was in the position to spend a year in Garanada at the Academy of Fine Arts.
In these renowned and famous institutes he developed masterly skills in traditional techniques and has the profession at his fingertips. His sweeping brushstrokes are powerful and leave an impressing texture on the canvas.
He is a productive artist who is used to think on a grand scale. When working, he does not focus on a single picture but followes a guideline to a whole series of works.
His figures are desillusioned and solitary. They live in the seclusion of their small-town homes. They are all young people who crave for a more exciting life and are questioning in the meantime what their life is worth at all.
Constantin lives and works near Cremona, Italy. He exhibites his works regularly in different cities of the country. Plans of a future exhibition in Hungary are in progress.

The exhibition HORROR VACUI in the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest opens it's doors on 31th March.
The latin expression 'horror vacui' denotes the fear of emptyness and has it's roots in the old hypothesis that nature would necessarily fill up an empty space. The possibility of the existence of the vacuum was firmly denied by Aristotle in his Physics, which held sway almost uncontended until the mid seventeenth century. Aristotle's plenist physics gave rise to the development and general acceptance in the Middle Ages of the theory of nature's abhorrence of the void. This theory was only disproved in the 17th century. The revolutionary concepts, that the vacuum exists and air has weight, were proved by the famous experiments of Evangelista Torricelli (Florence, 1644) and of Otto von Guericke.
It can be observed frequently that people also tend to disperse in a room and try to fill the empty parts, which can be regarded as a psychical 'horror vacui'. In visual art 'horror vacui' is the filling of the entire surface of an artwork with ornamental details. The exhibition presents works related to the topic from some of the best Hungarian artists.
The exhibition is an initiative of the Gödöllö Artist's Colony. The curator of the project is Katona Szabó Erzsébet. The exhibition is open during the opening hours of the museum until 21th April. The exhibiting artists are:

Four young artists, Adam Bota, Naomi Devil, Jaye and Stylianos Schicho have in parallel solo-exhibitions from 3rd January until 3rd March, 2006 in the Museum of Young Art (MOYA) in Vienna. Each artist presents numerous works in different saloons of the museum.
The artworks focus on the human figure in social context. The artists discuss current issues using a highly figurative and realistic approach. They reflect on such topics as the negative effects of consumer society and the difficult labour market but they occasionaly put trifling details of everyday life in the limelight as well.
Adam Bota was born in 1975 in Linz, Austria. He studied painting from 1998 until 2005 in Linz at the Academy of Fine- and Applied Arts. His powerful and expressive style that is characterized by vigorous sweeping stokes, brought him early success beyond the borders of Austria as well. He has already exhibited in several Austrian cities, in Germany, in Switzerland and in Hungary. He approaches social and political issues in a narrativ and figurativ way. He is presently living and working in the USA in Los Angeles. We show below three paintings by the artist:

More information about the artist and more pictures can be found on Adam Bota's web-site .
Jaye and Naomi Devil are students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. The two young artists are working in the same atelier in Professor Elke Krystufek's class. They are planning to work together in the near future. Jaye has an extraordinarily expressive stlye which has its roots in street-art. She works with the spay-technik of graffiti artists. Graffiti appears in the background on Naomi Devil's paintings as well and is part of the artistic language. The figures are put on several paintings in a suburban surrounding. It serves as an additional information and is an allusion to the appropriate life-style as well. It helps to characterize the represented figures. Jaye and Naomi want, with their new project, to combine the advantages of the quick and expressive spray-technique, that is very efficient on extended surfaces as well, with the elaborate delicacy of traditional oil paintings. They would like to explore new terrain by using the contrast between the cartoon-like sketch, where the figures are drawn in outline, and the masterly traditional oil figure.

On the occasion of the present solo-exhibition in the Museum of Young Art, Catharina Coreth has asked Naomi Devil about her working methods, about her attitude towards current social phenomena and several other topics. The interview hasn't yet been translated into English, it is only available in German at the moment. After clicking the interview please switch the language with the buttons under the logo in the upper left corner.The interview lets an insight into Naomi Devil's thoughts and works.
Styrianos Schicho was born in 1977 in Vienna. He has been studying in Professor W. Herzig's class at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna since 1998. He was nominated 'Young Artist of the Year' in 2000 by the Austrian Vintners Society. He has already won several awards. His canvases seem to be the result of one single overwhelming creative gesture and show up clearly visible traces of the whole painting process, from charcoal drawing until oil painting.

Three Hungarian students of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Adrienn Kiss, Noémi Ördög and István Szántó are exhibiting their works from 8th until 22nd December in the building of the academy. Everybody is invited to the opening party who is interested in young art and likes good music.

The Hungarian art-scene has always been and still is rather traditional. Very little has been done so far to promote the youngest generation and to prepare the ground for the arrival of new artistic trends.

The Gallery Mucius of Contemporary Art deserves special attention among the galleries in Budapest. The gallery is adding a fresh colour to the palette and is going to play a decisive role in Hungarian art history by shifting the focus of public attention towards young art. It is a much needed change that may lead to the revival of Hungarian art. We hope it is not only wishful thinking that the initiative will be followed by other galleries.

The representation of established and well-known artists brings a secure profit that can be approximately calculated in advance. The representation of unknown young talents however is not a promising business in the short term. In spite of these facts the Gallery Mucius has chosen the second and more difficult course and embraces the youngest generation. The gallery is not only ready to present the works of freshly graduated students but also accepts works from young artists who haven't yet completed their studies. In several cases the works are also shown on Hungarian television channels and the exhibitions get extensive coverage in newspapers. Because the Hungarian market is very tight when young art is concerned and graduates usually have severe financial difficulties at the beginning of their career if they enter their professional life without preparation, it is the invaluable support they get from Gallery Mucius which helps to make their names known for the public before they leave the academy.

The abstract, minimalistic, non-figurative etc. artistic trends of past decades have pushed into the background the communicative role of art. It is revealing that an art historian, when aked about the message of a certain artwork in the new Museum of Contemporary Art in Stuttgart, answered without batting an eyelid that the message of the work is, that there is no message. This black-out is not sustainable in the long term however. Art should fullfil its communicative role and respond to the social phenomena of our contemporary world by reflecting about such phenomena, by analysing problems and by proposing solutions.

The recent initiative of Gallery Mucius has urged young talents to reflect on a current phenomenon in the media. Mucius called for entries in a competition on a predetermined topic. It is a good practise that not only instigates young artists to give a fresh response to present questions but also invites them to team-work. Continuing this practise there is much hope that Budapest becomes one of the most important cultural centres in Europe, not lagging behind the other major Europian capitals, but as a cradle of new trends.

All those young artists, who responded to the call of Mucius and playfully or seriously elaborated the topic of reality-show and the birth of a media-star, enjoyed the work and they are all richer now with the experience of a successful and pleasant team-work.

We recommend to the attention of all those interested in contemporary art the web-site of the Gallery Mucius and the gallery's latest exhibition.
