THE LUCIANO VENTRONE HOUSE-MUSEUM OPENS

A little more than a year after Luciano Ventrone’s death on 16 April 2021, the Luciano Ventrone and Miranda Gibilisco Foundation opens to the public what was once the home of the Italian painter active between the second half of the 20th century and the early 2000s.

This makes it possible to visit the “Casa-Museo Luciano Ventrone” in Collelongo and learn about the enormous legacy of an artist who spanned more than half a century, going down in art history as the “Caravaggio of the 20th century”– as the great art critic Federico Zeri defined him.

ART AND CULTURE IN BELGIUM: THE ART CITIES OF FLANDERS

Discovering art and culture in Belgium means first of all slowing down your pace, filling your eyes with beautiful landscapes and visiting art cities rich in history and masterpieces.

My first time in Belgium was dedicated to Flemish painting and the masterpieces in the museums of Ghent and Brussels.
I returned home with the feeling that I would have to come back because I still hadn’t seen everything, and I did.
In this post I share with you a trip to art and culture in Belgium, discovering the cities of Flanders.

TACI, anzi PARLIAMO, CHEAP’s public art intervention

TACI, ANZI PARLIAMO, THE CHEAP PUBLIC ART INTERVENTION

If you go to Bologna, pass by the bus station and observe the works of CHEAP street poster art, a public art project, a collective, a non-objective gaze.

Founded in Bologna in 2013 from the creative understanding and determination of 6 women, CHEAP has curated and realised paper-based public art interventions: paste-up, i.e. the use of paper and glue, is both the technique investigated by the project and a declaration of intent in terms of dedication to the ephemeral and research of the contemporary as temporary.

CHEAP now brings a new public art intervention on the street: TACI, or rather PARLIAMO
From 10 June until the end of September 2022, 50 new posters will mark the 250 square metre wall of the Bologna bus station in Viale Masini.
