The Village, Women, Art: the relationships between memory
and the contemporary seen as natural and cultural resources,
which will give new life to our little town, are an integral
part of various projects developed by the current City Council.
They are directly linked with the past projects developed
by the current City Council. They are directly linked with
past projects enacted by previous municipal administrators
who saw art as a means for highlighting emotions, feelings
and passions that have marked our imagery for centuries.
This meeting allows us to establish a more intimate
and profound relationship with our urban environment, our
everyday life and our roots: a heritage of incredible richness,
which we cannot relinquish but are compelled to protect and
develop, giving everybody the possibility to profit from it.
One of the most difficult steps in the organizaion
of the meeting was choosing the works for the exhibition:
we decided to base our choice on the necessity of creating
a group showing a common feeling. Nevertheless, our main purpose
remained that of exploring different ways to relate Art to
our territoy. Our group of female artists has proved able
to represent a diversity of feelings through different means
of expression inside a common framework. They have expressed
their visioin of the world, their urges and their feelings
by drawing from their inspiration from women's conditions,
often difficult ones, with the aim of finding their own autonomy
in the will to live.
A richly diversified meeting purporting to present
a common view of art diversely expressed involving artisst
from different countries with different backgrounds. Rather
than exhibiting spectacular works of art, this meeting allows
the artist to exchange their experiences on the common ground
of arts research at an international level.
Rose's Choice aims at transforming individual
works of art into an event springing from no pre-established
critical hypotheses and aiming at discovering possibly hidden
common aspects in different works in a wish to overcome the
most obvious stylistic similarities.
Our artists, though working wih different media,
drew their inspiration from the intertwining of heterogenous
points of view and from the combination of international and
local themes and shapes. Such themes take shape through different
and complex means, which cannot easily be brought back to
a common source or style, even if the artists taking part
in our meeting share at least the choice of coping with images
and languages through which culture is spread in the world.
