Il Paradiso Perduto (e l'asservimento della bellezza) - Paradise Lost (and the enslavement of beauty)
Contemporary Art exhibition\event dedicated to Manuela Vaccaro's Madre Terra
On Tuesday 3rd July at 6 p.m., at the Sala delle Prigioni del Castel dell'Ovo (Egg Castle's Prisons' Hall), Galleria Monteoliveto will present an exhibition\event by the Neapolitan artist Daniela Vaccaro (with site specific installation)
Milton's work underscores that our culture has lost respect for womanhood and humanity; oursociety has lost the beauty-seeking as value, replacing it with surrogates; the decadent and luxuriant West has lost its history and tradition and its ethic and aestethic reference models, exploiting and polluting criminally our mother earth.
Our principal purpose must be slowing down, reflecting and regaining a relation with Nature, a respect for Womanhood, world, needy people and our sensible being.
This event shows works of art representing women in history (ancient feminine divinities) placed on supports similar to trees, wood, wire, fabric, paper, mirrors and recycled paper flowers to symbolize rock, water and earth.
The exhibition will lead visitors to an unpolluted natural "paradise" populated by feminian figures who represent all aspects of our sacred mother earth, showing a possible evolution based on a connexion with all living and nonliving organisms and with the planet which hosts us.
Neapolitan artist and engineer born in the '70s, Manuela Vaccaro combines the natures of artist and engineer. Since 2007 she's been attended Tullia Matania's courses. Vaccaro's painting is deeply figurative, picks out the otherness of women, refuses men's suppressive instincts and suggests the valorization of the gendered body. With the use of several colors, the artist, trough herself-awareness, strives to get over subordinate conditions and roles, giving an important chromatic creativity to her works of art which become decidedly cultural messages.
Manuela Vaccaro's exhibition, proposed by the Galleria Monteoliveto on the former island of Megaride, completes a path started by the Galleria with two important exhibitions of the Neapolitan artist: "Donne" ("Women") in Naples - in 2010 - on the female condition in times past and present and on forgotten female historical figures; "Donne, coscienza storica e rivoluzione" ("Women, historicalconsciousness and revolution") in Nice - in 2011 -, a clear and interesting analysis on possible scenarios for the future.
Vaccaro's activity with the Galleria Monteoliveto concludes with important collectives in Naples and Nice under the patronage of the Municipality of Naples, the Forum delle Culture Napoli 2013 Foundation and the Consulate General of Italy in Nice. In October 2012 the Galleria will present in Berlin one of her exhibitions with the photographer Luigi Montefoschi at Infantellina Contemporary Art.
Opening: Tuesday 3rd July at 6 p.m.
Introduction of Gennaro OLIVIERO.
The exhibition will be open from 2nd to 30th July in the Sala delle Prigioni di Castel dell'Ovo (Egg Castle's prisons' Hall). The event proposed for cultural events in Naples 2012 with the collaboration of the Municipality of Naples (Department of Culture) is the natural point of convergence of the two previous exhibitions which talks about the ethics of Beauty to help the world.
