Margherita Moscardini
VIETATO AI TURISTI / NOT FOR TOURISM
Il titolo è una riflessione sul processo di spopolamento, e infine abbandono di questi luoghi, di cui tre, segnalati dalle luci al neon dell’artista, si fanno portavoce di un invito: risiedere per abitare questi luoghi, piuttosto che scoprirli da turista.
Margherita Moscardini, VIETATO AI TURISTI / NOT FOR TOURISM, 2021, Corinaldo (AN), Marche. Ph. Michele Alberto Sereni
Margherita Moscardini (Doronatico, 1981) will present her work in the village of Corinaldo, in the Marche region. In her work she intertwines space and time, landscape and architecture, image and illusion. At the center of her interests are the processes of transformation, appropriations and conditions that cause change and mutation. Her work includes long-term projects and large-scale interventions, and she also produces drawings, writings, sculptures and videos. Among her most recent solo exhibitions are: ‘The Fountains of Za’atari’, Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia in 2019. Her work is part of the permanent collections of the MADRE in Naples and of the MAXXI in Rome.
Corinaldo is a village of 4,864 residents in Le Marche, part of the province of Ancona, which is 48km away. The 912 meters-long city walls have been preserved in their entirety from the Middle Ages to the present day. Located between the Cesano and Misa rivers, between the March of Ancona and the State of Urbino, the Guelph and Ghibelline factions contested the territory for some time due to its strategic position. It has seen several historical figures worth noting: Vincenzo Maria Cimarelli, teacher of letters, philosophy and theology; Claudio Ridolfi, a painter of Veronese origin; and Mario Carafòli, journalist, writer and photoamateur.
