domenica 31 maggio 2015 – Pala Antonello – Messina
Un grande evento culturale – La Conferenza internazionale di 52 studiosi provenienti da tutte le parti del mondo che si esprimeranno sull’esperienza espressiva del
“Outsider artist” Cavaliere Giovanni Cammarata
“Un messinese che ha avuto da tempo grandi riconoscimenti internazionali e che domenica verrà consacrato come uno dei “Outsider artist” più famosi in Europa.
In questa occasione, due sue opere ritenute dalla critica, di notevole valore artistico, recentemente portate alla luce e brillantemente restaurate, saranno per la prima volta poste in visione alla Galleria D’Arte Moderna di Messina del Pala Antonello.
Il Convegno avrà inizio alle ore 11.00 (Le relazioni sull’opera di Cammarata e la città si terranno all’inizio e per tutta la mattina – Vedi Programma allegato) e si concluderà alle ore 18.00. Durante la giornata sarà possibile visitare una mostra di tutte le attività di valorizzazione dell’esperienza espressiva di Giovanni Cammarata sino ad ora operate.
Dopo il convegno alle ore 18.00 – 18.30 comincerà la visita ai due elefanti restaurati. Opere di notevole Bellezza che sono state restituite, secondo la volontà dell’artista, alla collettività messinese.Alle ore 21.00 in via Maregrosso sarà possibile una suggestiva visita delle vestigia illuminate della Casa museo di Cammarata ed ammirare quel che resta della sua opera.
Alle ore 21.30, in situ, sarà proiettato un video relativo ad un reportage che la Rai nel 1991 fece su Cammarata. Una lunga intervista con l’artista la cui lettura critica al contesto ambientale e culturale della città di quel tempo retrospettivamente si presenta come una ludica e attenta critica a tutte le patologie sociali e culturali e alle contraddizioni di cui la città ancor oggi soffre.”
a cura dell’Architetto Carmelo Celona
Nota BLOG – Invito gli amici del Blog di gustare e condividere questo riconoscimento attestato internazionale ad un vero Artista messinese, a cui non abbiamo fatto mancare la Via Crucis dell’indifferenza e dell’ignoranza.
