In planning this new exhibition, as
always, I like to envisage it in terms
of strength and variety. Just as
individual artists follow their own path
of infinite stimuli and impulses to
arrive at a good conclusion, I too, as
an organizer and curator, must give
birth to a strong and harmonic result.
My objective is to channel the varying
creative forces into a cohesive whole -
where, in spite of the great differences
in individual artistic achievement, each
work of art is enhanced by its
surroundings.
Through my recent curatorial experiences,
particularly at ‘Art Melbourne’ in
Australia and ‘Little Treasures’ in
Bologna, I realised what I love most
about my exhibitions - it is the sheer
‘energy’ of the creative spirit. I love
bringing together such diversity and
harmonising its incredible force under
one roof. It is this energy that has
become a very distinctive feature of my
exhibitions and has contributed so
greatly to their visual uniqueness.
It has been a joy to spend time in
endless communication with artists and
learning from their opinions, ideas and
dreams. I have learnt much of the
innate, even violent, driving power
behind their creativity and know well
that in many cases - what they may dream
and feel today - we will think and know
tomorrow.
Thanks to my close communication with
many fine artists and colleagues on the
current art scene, I have learned more
deeply what constitutes a work of art
and gives it added value as such a vital
part of our universal language. This, as
with Nature herself, is ‘Creative
Energy’. This is the power that
communicates across all human barriers
of language and culture (Beethoven did
not write music in German). It is the
energy that enables our species to
survive and, alongside of science, must
always be knocking loudly at the door of
the unknown.
So - this time I intend placing before
the public an exhibition of cutting edge
momentum. This show will bring together
a veritable firework display of
‘Creative Energy’ from those
international artists who dare to dream.
I will be looking for vitality,
experimentation, multicoloured yet
harmonious pattern, freedom of thought,
purity of expression and, above all, the
creative energy of life.
Once again we will walk through the
magical city of Ferrara and enter the
rooms of the majestic Este Castle. Here
the spectator will encounter a new
mysterious and enigmatic universe - an
intensity of vigour that will
reverberate through that great
historical building and beyond. Such a
phenomenon will be caused by the
culmination of energy that flows through
the veins of every painter and sculptor
as, through this exhibition, they
express and exhibit their own Creative
Energy. |
