Into the landscape. Collection of Val di Chiana views. CALL for creative and open minds

From 5 6 to 5 11 2023

A photo-cognitive call on the Val di Chiana Landscape is open, an opportunity to express different visions and perceptions of the landscape. Through photographs and other modes of representation (videos, drawings, etc.), the call is aimed at communicating one's view of this exceptional landscape between Tuscany and Umbria, a destination for international tourism due to its rich natural and historical-cultural heritage. The subject of the call is, therefore, the landscape as it is "perceived by the people" (European Landscape Convention, 2000). The aim of the call is to record and understand aspects of the contemporary relationship between man and landscape. Different approaches and sensitivities distinguish the different generations and communities that, in various ways, inhabit and frequent the landscape of the Val di Chiana, giving an account of the infinite ways and levels in which it becomes part of, and influences the lives of each person. The initiative is therefore an opportunity to share testimonies, to stimulate interests and contribute to increasing awareness of the importance of the landscape and the environment, as well as to develop experiences of innovative participation in heritage issues. This activity also provides a multitude of data that is significantly useful for some of the active research on the territory and for orienting future landscape planning and management programmes in a sustainable key.

Cortona On The Move 2023 - More or Less

From 13 7 to 1 10 2023

Curatorial Statement, curated by Paolo Woods The top priority on the list of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is to “eradicate poverty.” For my entire life, I have been taught that this was an attainable goal and that the solution was going to be the middle class. Disappointment over the failures of egalitarian ideologies and fears about the excesses of capitalism would be diluted by the success of democracies, which would even out the extremes and give us a more structured middle class that would rule the world. This did not happen. According to most metrics, the rich have gotten richer and the poor poorer. An average American would need to work for three million years to become as rich as the richest American, some of whom are richer than entire countries. More than ever, the categories of More or Less define the world we live in, our aspirations, our fears, our affiliations. Abundance versus scarcity, the unnecessary versus the essential, the happy few versus the masses, accumulating versus shedding. Francis of Assisi famously married “Lady Poverty,” and the Bible says that “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God,” but most religions around the world now promise that “God will lift you out of poverty and make you rich.” More and Less are categories whose value changes over the years and across geographies. They are not only economic categories; they are also ontological ones, a prism through which we view the world. From architecture to music, from fashion to literature, from cuisine to sports, almost everything could be seen as sitting on one side or the other of this emblematic divide. We feel the time is ripe to investigate how these antipodes, More or Less, shape our world vision, our ideologies and our behavior. They are at the core of the stories we tell, be it king Midas, cursed for always wanting more and starved to death by his own golden touch, or the emperor with his new clothes, as told by Andersen, so obsessed with his desire that others see he had more that he could not even recognize that he actually had on less than anyone else. More or Less are also themes very dear to photography, with entire genres having developed around the two. At Cortona On The Move 2023 we will explore More, looking at the past and present, and we will dwell Less on the stereotypes, delivering a program rich in ideas for understanding our world and poor in simplifications. That’s More or Less it! More information at the link: https://www.cortonaonthemove.com/

Cortona On The Move 2023 - More or Less

From 15 5 to 10 7 2022

Maurizio Toffoletti was born in Lecce and based on his memories he always wanted to be a sculptor. Marble fascinates him. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce where he received a solid classical training, his initial influences were those of Antiquity, Egypt in particular and of the classics (Michelangelo…), which led to his first successes. He quickly opens up to other influences: those of the great modern masters - Brancusi, Moore, Picasso, Dalí, Mirò, Max Bill, Marino Marini, Calder, Arp ... His move to Paris in 1989 marks a turning point in his artistic career. Maurizio Toffoletti places more than ever marble as a material for contemporary creation. He prefers monumental sculptures. His research on light (which made the grandeur of the Impressionists) leads him to the creation of sculptures: drops of light and transparencies. Works made with the famous marble from the Michelangelo quarries of Carrara. This marble has light in its essence. With these works you have the sensation of touching the light with your gaze. His art makes the marble sound. Since 1990 he has been developing the research of sound sculptures. In fact, the work under the effect of a caress reveals his sonority. Giving the impression of touching the sound and hearing its resonances under the skin of the hand. Also in that period he began to orient his research towards notions of space-time: galaxies, supernova, the birth of a star, stars, meteorites, black holes, supernova explosion, planets, becoming his new source of inspiration. In this period he creates the mobile sculptures Meteorite Rain and the Citta works represented in aerial view. Since his arrival in France, he has not stopped exhibiting. In 1993 he was invited to participate in the first European Sculpture Symposium in Biarritz, then at the Paris and Osaka Biennial in 1996. He exhibited monumental sculptures in Rabat, Warsaw, Prague, Luxembourg, Italy, Austria ... The monumental sound sculptures Drops of Light and Transparencies set up in the Court of the Prefecture of Police in Paris caused a sensation at the exhibition La Notte Bianca, organized by the city of Paris in 2010. Other important moments in his career are represented by the monumental sculptural installations in Piazza Vendôme in 2005, on the piazzale de La Défense in 2007, in Italy in Pietrasanta, Carrara and Forte dei Marmi in 2009 then in 2010, 2017 and 2018 in Seravezza. In 2014 he exhibited his monumental works The Universal City on the European Parliament square in Brussels. The Universal City was also exhibited in 2015 at the Embassy of Italy in Luxembourg and in 2019 at the Embassy of Italy in Paris. All these exhibitions indicate the significant place that the opera Maurizio Toffoletti occupies in the world of contemporary art. Definitely affirming his work in the panorama of the international artistic world.

The Floors project was born in April 2017 during the 'Auand Days' festival in Bisceglie by the will of Francesco Ponticelli, Francesco Diodati and Filippo Vignato. It is the same name as the band that evokes layered music, with a look at minimalism and polyrhythmic research but at the same time strongly anchored to the melody. Their repertoire was presented at Umbria Jazz 2018, in the prestigious setting of the National Gallery of Umbria, while in 2019 the band had a European tour that touched Spain, France, Holland, Poland and Switzerland ending in January 2020 in Orvieto for Umbria Jazz Winter.
PonFrancesco Ponticelli is one of the most active jazz double bass players in Italy, able to fit into the most diverse contexts, he has collaborated with many of the most influential musicians on the scene, making himself known for his great interplay and continuous imaginative contribution. His career began in Enrico Rava's New Generations project.
DioFrancesco Diodati is a guitarist who takes inspiration from tradition and looks to contemporary music, rock, folk, to develop a personal language, combining a spontaneous approach to melody and acoustic sound with a brilliant use of electronics and effects. Since 2014 he has been part of the New Quartet of the trumpeter Enrico Rava, with whom he also collaborates in a duo.
👉Filippo Vignato is an Italian trombonist and improviser born in 1987. Considered as one of the most interesting Italian musicians of his generation, he won the Top Jazz critics award for 'Best New Talent' in 2016 for his debut as a leader in the album Plastic Breath (Auand) and carries out an intense concert activity in Italy and Europe. His latest album is 'Ghost Dance' (2019) made in duo with cellist Hank Roberts.

Event in collaboration with Fondazione Toscana Spettacolo

 

 

A musical project born in a border area as a reaction to the lockdown. And it is precisely to overcome the barriers - the geographical ones between regions, those of isolation due to the pandemic, but also those between musical genres - the objective of the Mammut Jazz Fest, a traveling festival along the Val di Chiana, which began on July 28 with Wetuba live . From Arezzo to Lake Trasimeno, five cities for six concerts, in maximum safety: a route that will end on 4 September in Castiglione del Lago, at Rocca del Leone, starting from Fortezza del Girifalco in Cortona on 22 and 30 August.

A first edition that intends to test in these difficult times a project that has the prospect of growing over the years, to offer citizens of the Val di Chiana a musical calendar worthy of Italian and international festivals and to give positive impetus on the cultural level, economic and tourist. Arezzo, Civitella in Val di Chiana, Lucignano, Cortona and Castiglione del Lago, these are the cities of the first edition. The main theme is jazz, the search for a sound between acoustic and electronic, original and innovative compositions of musicians considered by critics to be the excellence of contemporary jazz. The event, organized by the Mammut cultural association, is sponsored by the Municipality of Civitella in Val di Chiana, which is the leader of the project, the Municipality of Lucignano, the Municipality of Cortona and the Municipality of Castiglione del Lago. Partners are Fondazione Toscana Spettacolo, Cicaleto Recording Study, Slow Food Val di Chiana, ONTHEMOVE Cultural Association, Banca Popolare di Cortona, Chamber of Commerce Arezzo and Siena, Confesercenti.

BRIGHT EARTH 
 
The ancient peoples of the Mediterranean have long been an inspiration for my work through their tombs,temples,artifacts and paintings.
The land from which the materials were sourced, the earth,rock,stone giving metals, minerals and pigments, have for me, become a narrative of time.
Climbing ancient steps hewn out of the bedrock on the island of Siphnos. 
Digging for fools gold in the Etruscan mines of Elba. Walking  on pebbles and rocks in a myriad of different colours,vivid under the bright coastal waters. Maybe this is the true essence of time.

BRIGHT EARTH

From 12 4 to 15 6 2019

Already since the early years of this millenium, photographer and book author René van Bakel has put himself on the trail of the history of La Dolce Vita and traced it back, all the way to the
Etruscans. Moreover, van Bakel compares how much of their ancient culture, in other words the Etruscan spirit, has survived, and still shapes everyday life now in central Italy and elsewhere.

‘THE ETRUSCAN SPIRIT’: AL GIRIFALCO UN VIAGGIO NELLA NOSTRA STORIA COL FOTOGRAFO RENE’ VAN BAKEL

Old India - Quintilio Bruschi

From 5 4 to 5 5 2019

The artist

Fifth of seven brothers, Quintilio Bruschi was born in a peasant family of Cortona on 2 March 1912. He spent his entire life in the heart of Valdichiana: first in Cortona, then in Acquaviva di Montepulciano, where he died in his 90s in 2002 .

He left Cortona at the beginning of the 1930s, to go to the Forte Santa Caterina in Verona, where he was an artilleryman and responsible for an arms depot. During the war he fought in Libya, where he was seriously injured in the parietal and was forced to repatriate. In 1937 he married Mafalda Crocini. The couple had no children, and could live on Quintilio's disability pension.

Bruschi began to sculpt and draw in 1970, at the age of fifty-eight. Before that time he had never worked wood, yet one morning he decided to get chisel and mallet and began to work the first piece of wood that he found, until he managed to create a whole figure that would later donate to Pope Paul VI.

Thanks to the sculpture, Bruschi managed to get rid of his anxieties, reworking them and transforming reality into an imaginary world. The art allowed him to overcome a profound depressive crisis that most likely dated back to the wound suffered in war.

Bruschi made impressive sculptures in oak, walnut, cherry, but also used old automobile tires, tin cuttings and cardboard.

Among his most frequent subjects, the self-portraits and depictions of women and men he defined as "of first eras". These figures have a sacral character and widen the arms, expressing amazement and a hypnotic and almost magical reverence. His female figures - busts and madonnas with naked breasts surrounded by nameless animals - denote an irrepressible sensuality.

His works recall the artistic traditions of exotic peoples, such as the totems of the Indian tribes, the pre-Columbian art and the sculptural depictions of Easter Island.

In his works we observe a profound mingling of the living beings of the present and of the past, an aspect already evident from the cultured quotations that are hidden in the titles: "The 800 coal house going up the mountain to make calories for the family", Duca D'Aosta "," La Nonna "," Infanzia "," Il Faraone "," Old India "," Minerva that comes from the head of Jupiter ".

What is surprising is that Bruschi, authentic self-taught, has never had technical and cultural influences: his is a spontaneous and singular creativity, which allows him to frame him in the naive, instinctive and devoid of a true tradition. As the art historian Oto Bihalji-Merin wrote, "like children and primitives, naïfs do not paint or sculpt what they see, but what they know or believe".

In life, Bruschi obtained praises, articles, reviews, good reviews from critics and television appearances. He could show his art in cities like Turin, Bolzano, Bari and Palermo.

His works were exhibited for the last time in 1997 at the exhibition Arte Necessaria at the Cantieri Culturali della Zisa di Palermo. Alessandra Ottieri, curator of the initiative, called Bruschi an outsider, bringing it together with eleven other artists able to create a deeply expressive and valuable art, even if completely self-taught, of humble origins, in some cases with psychological problems and without any relationship with the environment of official art.

The exhibition

From April 5 to May 5 2019 the private collection of the Bruschi family, "Old India", including some of Quintilio Bruschi's most expressive wooden works will be exhibited at the Fortezza del Girifalco, in the halls of the first floor in front of the inner courtyard.

The exhibitions is realized thanks to the support of the Municipality of Cortona
