What Are the Rules of the Game? Some Remarks on The Yellow Jacket

1995

The vast caravan out of Ceylon … arrived safely in Europe in April 1884 … There were sixty-seven people, twenty-five elephants … and a great many oxen of various kinds. The ethnographic exhibition included hundreds of different shows, and even the vegetative world was represented in numerous exhibits … My Singhalese troupe was veiled in the ancient wondrous world of India; not only had we captured the vibrant, picturesque, outward appearance of India, but also the shimmer of its mystique. The colourful, captivating sight of the caravanserai, the majestic elephants, partly bedecked in golden saddlery, partly in work harnesses, pulling gigantic loads; the slim, attractive, doe-eyed dancers wi…

An Unrealized Project: The Great Cemetery by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda. From Archive Drawings to Three-Dimensional Reconstruction

2017

This study is aimed to the reconstruction and analysis of an unrealized project: the Grand Cemetery by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda (1834–1911), starting from his original designs, drawn with pencil, ink and watercolor on cardboard. This project won two gold medals, once at the first Exhibition of Fine Arts in Florence, in 1861, and the other at the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Sicily, in 1863. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the model has been used to deduce the criteria of interpretation and perspective views, shaded or rendered, which have been processed trying to visualize the imagined spaces in the original drawings in orthogonal projections.

Zoom in on Dry Joy—Dissensus, Agonism and Democracy in Art Education

2021

Literature on art education often emphasizes dialogue as a preferred approach and as a way of practicing democratic education in museums and galleries. Dialogue-based tours in such contexts are often characterized by a sense of harmony and agreement. In contrast, this article discusses the democratic aspect and political potentiality when dissensus and agonism are used as central educational strategies. The point of departure for the discussion was a teaching session on the online platform Zoom with student teachers as part of their module on art and crafts at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway, in spring 2020. Artworks from the exhibition Dry Joy, in S&oslash

Figurazioni dell'amor patrio - Esuli, profughi e migranti nelle arti visive del Risorgimento

2019

Figura simbolica fortemente radicata nell’immaginario risorgimentale, l’esule conferisce un volto umano a valori fondativi del discorso patriottico, come lo spirito di sacrificio e il senso di appartenenza alla comunità nazionale. Da tempo oggetto di studi storici, storico-letterari e comparatistici, il tema dell’esilio conosce una notevole fortuna iconografica nell’Europa del XIX secolo, qui per la prima volta esaminata in maniera sistematica grazie alla ricostruzione puntuale della genesi di opere che in virtù della loro natura allusiva suscitano l’interesse degli ambienti patriottici. Oltre a proporre una casistica dei motivi più ricorrenti, l’autore interpreta le immagini dell’esilio al…

Curating Objects from the European Border Zone: The “Lampedusa Refugee Boat”

2019

The cultural politics of the present encourage museums and artists to seek an ethical vision within Europe navigating the knowledge of ongoing mass death at the border. This is one explanation for the interest in objects symbolising present-day irregular border crossing among museum curators, artists, designers and activists. Wooden fishing boats, inflatable dinghies and life jackets appear regularly in exhibitions and installations. This chapter focuses on the meaning of “the Lampedusa boat” and argues that the narrative context within which the boats are exhibited guides the work of imagination that animates the object. While exhibiting the boats carries the critical potential to relocate…
