an exhibition to reflect on Volpinari Optics
When art chooses unusual but significant places where it wants to show itself, then it can happen that an optical shop, with its part of a laboratory carved into the rock with some fragrant patches of humidity, becomes the ideal venue for an exhibition that talks about water. .
And so Friday 15 October, at 6 pm at the exhibition space ofOptician Michele Volpinari in Borgo Maggiore, inaugurates the photographic exhibition of Conrad Mularoni and Giorgio Busignani, with a laconic title “H2O “. And the subtitle “Virtual water, real need”.
An exhibition wanted and organized by Gabriele Geminiani in the context of San Marino Green Festival 2021 which this year will stop in Borgo Maggiore il 23 and 24 October and where, speaking of art, he has recently inaugurated his own at the Casa del Castello Sustainable Archives, a permanent collection of works of art on the environment and sustainability.
An exhibition, that of the two San Marino authors, which with its suggestions, wants to be a moment of reflection on the value of water, an indispensable and increasingly limited resource due to the global warming of anthropogenic origin that has involved, in recent decades, both the melting of the glaciers and a sharp decline in the flow of rivers.
Without this element there would be no life on earth and there would be no plant and animal development, with its development of plant biodiversity and the spread of the numerous and different ethnicities and civilizations of man.
The defense of water is therefore everyone’s duty, which cannot be postponed.
Giorgio Bussignani presents photographs taken on some artificial lakes of Marecchia River during a few years of observation.
A more global cut that of Conrad Mularoni, which instead features images taken in Argentina such as Iguazu falls, The Perito Moreno glacier, The Argentine lake, but also images of our places, such as the dried clays of the San Marino badlands and the polluted waters in the port of Rimini.
The organization thanks Michele Volpinari for the warm hospitality and the Lions Clubs for the welcome support.
The exhibition will be open until October 27 at the following times: from Tuesday to Saturday 9.30 / 12.30 – 15/19
