free guided tours of ‘Altana’ by Stefano Arienti and the lecture by Fabio Cavallucci
Sunday 18 December 2022 and Sunday 8 January 2023 from 14 to 18 there will be special (free) guided tours of the San Marino National Gallery, to visit the exhibition “Altana” by Stefano Arienti. A journey through “Gocce” at the Ancient Cisterns of Palazzo Pubblico, “Castello” at the Ex Galleria Ferroviaria Il Montale and Arienti’s personal exhibition at the Claudio Poleschi Arte Contemporanea Gallery.
Wednesday 21 December at 18, instead in the National Gallery will be held the lesson by Fabio Cavallucci, contemporary art critic, curator of the exhibition “Altana”, entitled “Stefano Arienti in the artistic panorama of the 90s”. (For info and reservations from 9 to 16.30, every weekday and public holiday except 25 December and 1 January). The event promoted and organized by the Secretariat of State for Education and Culture, of the Cultural Institutes – State Museums – National Gallery of San Marino, was born from Claudio Poleschi Arte Contemporanea.
The project collects a series of different interventions, precise and meditated, in which the artist revisits techniques and methods developed during his career and relaunches his interest in intervention in public spaces, renewing the Italian tradition that has always seen art born in churches and palaces rather than in museums. It is a discreet occupation that of Stefano Arienti of San Marinowhich the artist likes to think of as the “roof terrace of Europe”, from whose height the view of the changing world widens, placing the news stories in the broad dimension of human history.
