Opening Saturday 31st August 2019 – permanent installation
No Man’s Land – Contrada Rotacesta – Loreto Aprutino (Pescara), Italy
a permanent site-specific installation
curated by ZERYNTHIA
Saturday 31stAugust at 17.00 NO MAN’S LAND FOUNDATION presented in Contrada Rotacesta (Loreto Aprutino, Italy) the permanent site specific installation Solid Ground by the native American artist Jimmie Durham, honoured with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at this year’s Venice Biennale.
Solid is not only the ground upon which rests an old double-leaf door opening onto the centre of our planet, balancing an age projected towards space programmes.
Solid too is the constellation in No Man’s Land in Contrada Rotacesta that already plays host to various projects by Yona Friedman with Jean-Baptiste Decavèle, not to mention the permanent installation Pian de Pian Piano by Alvin Curran,and that last year saw the participation of Gianfranco Baruchello with his project Adozione di una Pecora (Adoption of a Sheep).
As such, a process of ACCUMULATIONS is underway, adding without removing the predecessor and contrasting strongly with this throwaway culture. This recalls, non-religiously, a tradition that is present in old Italian churches and chapels in which historical periods and artistic styles mix with ease.
Works of art exist within the scope of other works of art and in this circumstance they are distinguished as individual, specific affirmations(…) but it is of great importance to give artworks the opportunity to enjoy reciprocal company. Culture is the accumulation of ideas in conflict and in harmony.
Rudi Fuchs
