ARS MEMORIAE<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the 10th edition of the Week of Cultures, contemporary art enters the museum
\nspaces of Palazzo Branciforte in Palermo, renovated by the architect Gae Aulenti with a masterful
\narchitectural recovery.
\nThe project, promoted by: Week of Cultures; Sicily Foundation; Sicily Art & Culture, curated
\nby Zerial Art Project, presents the site-specific collective exhibition of Desideria Burgio,
\nCamilla Marinoni, Chiara Tubia, Federico Clapis, Leonardo Meoni and Andrea Guastavino,
\nArs Memoriae, from Saturday 25 September to 17 October 2021, at Pawnshop of Santa Rosalia of
\nBranciforte Palace.
\nThe Pawnshop of Santa Rosalia is a place that still preserves the memory of a past and full of
\nemotional intensity. The suggestive wooden structure, which housed the pawn shop, is made up of
\nshelves up to the ceiling, guardian of the sacrifice of the Palermitans. The exhibition, entitled Ars
\nMemoriae, wants to tell the power of the imagination and how it is able to consolidate memory in a
\nlivable and visitable dimension. Ars Memoriae is a work in Latin by Giordano Bruno, published
\nin Paris in 1582. The goddess of memory, Mnemosine, is the mother of the nine Greek gods who
\npreside over the arts. For Bruno it is the tool of knowledge and representation of reality. The place
\nthat represents that unity from which ideas emanate. Memory is in general the ability to keep track
\nof information relating to events, images, sensations of external stimuli experienced and related
\nresponses, recognizing them as past states of consciousness. The term also indicates the very
\ncontents of the experience as they are evoked, both the set of psychological and neuro-physiological
\nmechanisms, which allow you to record and subsequently recall information. The idea that unites
\nthe six artists, through six site-specific installations, organized within the rooms of the Pawnshop in
\nSanta Rosalia, is the search for a depth in their work that acts as a search engine and technical
\nlanguage.
\nDesideria Burgio, with the installation Oggi come ieri declares the intertwining of time and our
\nmemory as a container of identity, often deformed by our past. Memory, therefore, becomes a
\ndeposit of conscious traces, a significant link that is built between present and past, the choice of
\nwhat to take with us in the future. Camilla Marinoni reflects on the concept of exchange,
\nsubsistence and use of natural resources as a primary and absolute source to guarantee the survival
\nof human beings. The work entitled Misericors consists of seven embroidered loaves, linked to the
\nindissoluble relationship between money and food and between food and life. Work becomes a
\nmemory of what was once the function of the Monte dei Pegni and a warning against the
\nconsumerism of society. Chiara Tubia, presents the installations I dreamed I was a butterfly and
\nYab-yum: the artist reflects on the exploration of social patterns and memories apparently structured
\nover time in relation to the infinite possibilities of Being with the One. His work is based on a path
\nof inner research that from the unconscious aims to reach a higher and more cognitive level of the
\nself, becoming the vehicle of a universal and profound message. Federico Clapis, with the work
\nNFT Everlasting Memory reflects on how memory is an existential knot: past and future come
\ntogether united by a sense of lack. Virtual projection and technology, recurring themes in his works,
\nbecome a contemporary metaphor to investigate our timeless emotional states. Leonardo Meoni
\npresents the video Wind builds up the stand. Projected on a large circular panel, scenes from a
\nchaotic mosaic of natural and urban landscapes are observed that narrate overlapping and memories.
\nThe circular movement modifies and stratifies past experiences, continually giving a new face to
\nsituations. Memory operates in Andrea Guastavino’s works as a magical notebook where the
\nsuccession of superimpositions and cancellations records the artist’s experience in his intimate
\nnavigation within an anonymous photographic archive of the beginning of the century. The
\ninstallation is accompanied by the sound intervention of Andrea Lovo.
\nArt is the instrument of remembrance, which can be celebrated only through the creative power:
\n“Fantasy (not without the act of the cogitative faculty) will be able to reach such a kind of
\nconversion that the cogitative (not separated from the act of fantasy) will make all things powerfully
\nmemorable. ” (Giordano Bruno 2008, part II, XII, p. 150).<\/p>\n
