La Fondazione Centro Arti Visive di Pietrasanta ha organizzato, in collaborazione con il Comune di Pietrasanta, l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara e Artigianart Pietrasanta, la mostra (R)EXISTENZ - 3D2D TRIDIMENTIONAL TODAY, curata da Alessandro Romanini e che avrà luogo dal 24 Marzo al 29 Aprile a Pietrasanta (Complesso di S. Agostino, Piazza del Duomo, Palazzo Panichi). L'ingresso è gratutio e la mostra sarà aperta dal martedì alla domenica dalle ore 16.00 alle 19.00.
La mostra si sviluppa a partire dal concetto di scultura come “pensiero per forma”, uno strumento espressivo in grado di tradurre riflessioni e analisi sull’esistente dialogando con le tecniche e vincendo la resistenza dei materiali. L’arte plastica, la forma espressiva tridimensionale ha generato un territorio comune di sperimentazione che coinvolge scultura, architettura e design. Nella società moderna, caratterizzata dalla precarietà, essa perde la dimensione monumentale e gli scopi decorativi e celebrativi per divenire solido totem del pensiero.
Le opere in mostra palesano il processo simbiotico o di simulazione che s’instaura tra le opere d’arte e gli oggetti di uso comune e mettono in luce la dialettica tra forma e funzione (caratteristica del design) e fra la tradizione e l’innovazione, la storia e la contemporaneità.
Materiali e tecniche cosiddette classiche convivono con iconografie nuove e materiali industriali o “poveri”, le istanze formali dialogano con quelle relazionali.
Protagonisti di questo appuntamento con l’espressione artistica contemporanea saranno 20 artisti, selezionati nell’ambito delle forme espressive più interessanti della generazione nata negli anni Settanta e formatisi culturalmente negli anni Novanta. Artisti noti, apprezzati e seguiti dalla critica, richiesti dalle più prestigiose strutture espositive internazionali, dalla Biennale di Venezia al MACRO:

Sculpture as “thounght in form” is an expressive tool able to interpret reflections and analysis upon the existing through a conversation with the techniques and by a victory on the material resistance.
In a liquid society, where everything is precarious and the thought is weak, the plastic art breaks free from the celebratory duties and from the monumental and decorative dimension, to become a stable totem to the thought, an admirable mirror for the “zeitgeist”.
As attested by the 20 artists here involved, choosen among the most interesting expressive forms belonging to the generation born in the Seventies, this is the criterion which gives ideas to the exhibit: plastic art is an “open” discipline who talk together with the world of the ideas not only with the materials, and, at the same time, who incorporate, - through osmotic dynamics- styles and modalty coming from technical and scientific world, influences by history and memory and above all who absorbs elements from the disciplines sharing space syntax, suche as architecture and desing.
The artistic works on show disclose the symbiotic process between the piece of arts and the objects of everyday life, they highlight the dialectic
The exhibit ( R)existenz - 3d2d ideally carries on the analysis path of the plastic contemporay arts scenery undertaken with the annual Review named “Pietrasanta Contemporanea”.
This eventi s part of the project “Archeology of the Future” dedicated to the plastic arts in their multifarious elements. The project is supported by Tuscany Region and coceived by the Fondazione Centro Arti Visive di Pietrasants in association with Pietrasanta Municipality, Carrara Academy of Fine Arts and Artigianart (Pietrasanta Craftsmen Fellowship). The craftsmen attendance attests the will of this project to set up an ideal bridge between tradition and innovation, know-how and conceptual processing, theory and practice. At the same time the attendance of Higher Education Institution such as Pietrasanta Centro Arti Visive and Carrara Acdemy of Fine Arts symbolize the necessity and the strong desire to produce new pedagogical and didactic formulas in the arts to meet the new perceptive and linguistic dynamics. Pietrasanta Municipality points up the centrality of Art and Culture as tools for growth and development for a territory and its identity, as witnessed by this district and its history linked to the artistic production. This is a territory not just preserving its rich cultural heritage but also operating to make culture, in interaction with contemporaneity languages. The exhibit frame gathers artists born in the Seventies e culturally molded in the Nineties. They create their works in the era of the technological and digital omniscience, when the reality ends (as said by Baudrillard) and also the artistic mouvements end: they have lived the solo quest and study, the economic and cultural precariousness, they have pass through the return to the figuration of the Eighties and through the poetics of the object in the shadow of immanent conceptuality. These artists were able to set up their own language, a language that is a synthesis of various artistic instances, by paying a great attention to the relational dimension, not avoiding the esthetic dimension and cutting out a wide portion for their autobiographic component and the dialectc dimension with history and memory.
