This
year's edition will concentrate on some of the key
spaces within the individual communities to be seen
in squares and main streets of these seven municipalities.
The intention is to create specific works to be
placed at "cross-roads", both physical
and psychological, conceived as interfering elements
in daily life which may, with their presence, redesign
their host context.
The works created are heterogeneous in terms of
process and esthetic: artistic interventions on
city monuments or inside pre-existing buildings
(Franco Vaccari, Antony Gormley), mobile installations
(Nicola Pellegrini) or sound installations (Renée
Green), video installations (Tony Oursler), photographic
works (Paola De Pietri) and guided visits that propose
a re-mapping of the Chianti (Cesare Pietroiusti).
In addition to the interventions in piazzas and
streets, the project intends to lend value to green
spaces, reconceived as places for rest and reflection,
but also for gathering and leisure activity: the
re-arrangement of a pre-existing open space (Eva
Marisaldi), the creation of a structure in a park
that invites one to pause and marvel (Massimo Bartolini)
and, finally, the placement of a work characterized
by a strongly playful-interactive aspect in a public
garden (Alicia Framis).
One
of the main aims of the exhibition is to present
works which are not exclusively poles of attraction
for the exhibition public but which can became,
with time, places which may be really lived in and
frequented by local inhabitants as well as occasional
visitors.
The
TUSCIAELECTA exposition also includes a section
called Innesti Doc, curated by Bona Baraldi, dedicated
to emerging artists who live and work in the Chianti
territory.
