Presentazione del programma di Destinazione Sud Festival
e Vernissage della Mostra
LAST HUMAN EDITION | David Lara e Christian Brogi | pittura e fotografia contemporanea
SALA MOSTRE SERGIO PACINI
1 marzo – 18 marzo
BAR TRATTORIA IL NAZIONALE
1 marzo – 10 aprile
La mostra esplora il tema dell’intervento dell’uomo sull’ecosistema Gaia, soffermandosi sul contrasto tra natura incontaminata e azione umana.
La dimensione intimista di David Lara, in tensione tra le ambiguità dell’agire umano, si intreccia con lo sguardo sorpreso, quasi ironico, del fotografo Christian Brogi, che denuncia i ritmi spietati della cementificazione, l’inquinamento e la sovrappolpolazione, senza rinunciare alla ricerca di un possibile equilibrio.

Mostra fotografica di Christian Brogi, tema: La luce delle Donne
40 opere fotografiche dell’ artista Christian Brogi, dove la donna, in tutte le sue età è protagonista assoluta ed indiscussa, forza,dolcezza,e fragilità, vengono espresse senza paura e senza la gabbia del tecnicismo.
La maggior parte degli scatti sono realizzati live, senza flash,con luce ambientale ma la spontaneità dei momenti catturati fa dimenticare il rumore di fondo grazie alla vitalità dei soggetti,
al di là di ogni schema manieristico,limitante e costrittivo.
Christian Brogi è alla direzione dei laboratori artistici/sala di posa fotografica del Liceo Artistico di Siena, collabora con la Buffalo University traminte il Suny Siena Program, è stato selezionato ed ha esposto alla Biennale Internazionale del Libro d’artista a Mosca, ed ha numerose critiche,pubblicazioni, e selezioni editoriali del Nationa Geographic Yourshot.
ingresso libero ore 18 del 24 Settembre 2017, presso la galleria dell’ hotel Minerva, promotrice di cultura ed arte.
Tra le scelte infinite dello scatto fotografico, l’arte di Christian Brogi è una continua e spasmodica ricerca di scrittura con la luce, un miracolo dell’attimo che, come scriveva Boubat: “verrà a salvarci” … ritratti del pensiero in bianco e nero per catturare le anime!
___________________________
His work is an exploration of time.Time is revealed as a moment of transition between actions. The characters/objects, often in unusual situations, are, in their immobility, able and eager to show us the flowing of timein one gesture. His works are often ambiguous, subjective, and endless, indicating the becoming, the mutability of existence, and give rise to multiple interpretations. They are always balanced between present and past. In his poetic universe, time is a relentless flowin which all things can be reinterpreted. Time carries its disorienting, bare urban landscapes, where the present moment reveals itself in all its crudeness .

-_____________________________________
Christian Brogi è un artista creativo che manifesta il suo estro in varie discipline, da quelle più moderne, multimediali, a quelle classiche, tra cui la composizione musicale, le animazioni, la fotografia, la scultura, il cortometraggio. La sua è una ricerca poliedrica, ricca di sfaccettature che l’artista riporta nelle sue opere su più piani, da quello formale, a quello emozionale. L’opera d’arte diviene in questo modo il tramite ideale per comunicare la sua presenza nel nuovo quadro contemporaneo.

Monochrome
Exhibition Duration:
31 March – 13 April 2017
Monochrome photographs have their own dynamic as they present a different
aspect of reality. It is always interesting to see what the photographer
imagines when he or she decides to take a picture. Sometimes the
domination of only one color is the catalyst that helps to the creation
of a new reality.
This is what makes people so interested in monochrome photographs.
The new emerging from something familiar, which seems known,
but so different at the same time.

A SIENA
E’ un fotografosenese, ChristianBrogi,
il vincitore del premio internazionale
Made Of Steel Photo contest,
su 7 mila foto partecipanti, con una
immagine straordinaria della Tour
Eiffel. Brogi, che ha collezionato e
colleziona premi a livello internazionale
ormai da molto tempo, predilige
il bianco nero, ed è proprio con
unafoto in bianco e neroche ritrae la
Tour Eiffel dal basso,da una prospettiva inaspettata,
ad aver vinto il prestigioso
photo contest.
Foto di Brogi sono state pubblicate
in moltissime prestigiose riviste quali
il National Geographic, tanto per fare
un nome. Un’altra foto pluripremiata
è Impressioni di settembre,
scattata sulle Dolomiti,che ha ricevuto
cinque premi diversi in denaro e
materiali fotografici, ed è tra le più
viste sul portale Viewbug. Ma la lista
sarebbe molto lunga, dato che nel
suo portfolio vi sono foto ormai notissime
un po’ ovunque e premiate in
grandi concorsi mondiali. Uno stile
particolare e affascinante, quello di
Brogi, che riesce a catturare quello
che l’occhio non vede ma che non sa
sfuggire all’obbiettivo, ossia le emozioni
e i brividi che solo un grande
fotografo sa ritrarre. Un altro dei
grandi artisti senesi di cui il mondo
parla. Annalisa Coppolaro

Opera partecipata di Anna benedetto, Veronica Finucci e Christian Brogi
L’ opera racconta e riporta alla memoria dei visitatori Il gesto della raccolta del sale compiuto da Mahatma Gandhi come atto conclusivo della sua marcia avvenuta da Amedabad fino a Dandi, nel marzo 1930 in India, nell’ambito della Satyagraha (Lotta partecipata di un popolo senza ricorrere alla violenza), per manifestare contro la tassa sul sale, su cui vigeva un assoluto monopolio imperiale, imposta dal governo britannico a tutto il popolo indiano. La marcia durata 26 giorni coprì a piedi una distanza di circa 200 miglia e portò la protesta pacifica direttamente nelle saline, presidiate dalla polizia inglese. Partirono in 78 e arrivarono in diverse migliaia. La “marcia del sale” si concluse con l’arresto di più di 60.000 persone, tra cui Gandhi, condannato a 6 anni, e moltissimi membri del Congresso. Fu un gesto di grande importanza sociale, e come disse Gandhi: “With this, I am shaking the foundation of the British Empire”
L’atto partecipato che i tre artisti richiedono ai visitatori, è raccogliere un pugno di sale sottraendolo al “mandala” da loro composto e andarlo a riporre nel contenitore trasparente, man mano che i visitatori raccoglieranno il sale per conservarlo come bene prezioso (purifica, conserva, protegge), verrà svelato il disegno iniziale del mandala.
Un gesto che ci fa salire verticalmente dal basso verso l’alto, così come avviene durante la costruzione della nostra anima, tra ricordi, memorie e ambizione di sogni poetici, per far sì che si arrivi ad un Altrove dove le nostre esistenze diventano collettivo universale di rispetto per l’esistenza umana. Fare nostro un atto, istintivamente impossessarsi della sua vitalità e immedesimarsi alla scoperta finale di un bisogno di pace.

Christian Brogi, Winner of CALL FOR BUSHWICK 2015
Title of the Contest: The Rebirth of Wonder
Giorgio Vasari, the founder of modern art history, devotes his “Lives of the Most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects” to an endeavor beyond mere historiography. Vasari analyses the nature of art itself by describing in language bellissimo the arts of the Renaissance. He comes once and again on his reasoning to the sense of wonder, of amazement, of awe. The arts are products of genius, wonders of the Nature that resembles itself. Marvels that are recognized by an unequivocal sense of wonder. One who stands in front of The School of Athens “has great reason to marvel, for it amazes all who behold it”, the eminent Raffaello da Urbino was “left marveling and amazed” in presence of Leonardo’s works. Even when he describes the contribution of the patrons of the arts such as Lorenzo de Medici, the Magnificent, Vasari says that he put the means “to amaze the world”.
What do we really know five hundred years after Vasari’s book of wonder and awe? Although several theorists have attempted to define awe and related states, empirical studies of awe are almost non-existent. The scientific community has been taking the “sense of wonder”, more and more in consideration. In 1992 Paul Ekman posited that awe may be a distinct emotion. Recent work has documented a distinct facial expression for awe (Shiota, Campos, & Keltner, 2003), and has provided preliminary data on the personality variables associated with dispositional awe-proneness (Shiota, Keltner, & John, 2006). But it is still very difficult to find agreement on a description of this emotion, in part because the elicitors are so diverse, and the emotion’s function is unclear (Lazarus, 1991).
The most important study about this sense of wonder is “Approaching awe, a moral, spiritual, and aesthetic emotion.” By Keltner and Haidt in 2003. They support a vision of “awe” characterized by two features: perceptual vastness and need for accommodation. They understand vastness, of course, in a wide sense. A stimulus may convey vastness in physical space, in time, in number, in complexity of detail, in ability, even in volume of human experience. What is critical is that the stimulus dramatically expands the observer’s usual frame of reference in some dimension or domain, and that expansion of the frame of reference makes cognitive accommodation necessary.
From this point of view, the one of a contemporary Vasari, Art is what shakes you out of the frame you see the world through, and demands you to change, rethink, relocate, and awe in reverence at the vastness of this world.
