Poesia e Rivoluzione


This exhibition, curated by #ledalunghi, presents the works of five Italian and international artists: Marìa Magdalena Campos-Pons, #elenabellantoni, #giannimoretti, Binta Diaw and #massimouberti, spokespersons of a political art expressed with the charm and delicacy of poetry.

From September 15th to October 30th, 2021, #galleriagiampaoloabbondio, in via Luigi Porro Lambertenghi 6, in the Isola district of Milan, is hosting the exhibition Poesia e Rivoluzione to open its autumn season.
The project recounts a spontaneous dialogue of metaphors and values, united by a cultural narrative of social changes intertwined with the historical sense of utopia and revolution.
So, the process is sparked: of language, history, the dichotomy between past and future, within the importance of remembrance, the enigma of human frailty and future identity. The words re-invoke the revolution, poetry and art are its revelation.
The itinerary opens with the works of Marìa Magdalena Campos-Pons (La Vega, Matanzas, Cuba, 1959) in which her revolutionary essence, delicate and melancholy, is found, from which her love for Cuba, her land of origin, emerges. The colors and minutiae that emerge from her works are references to the narration of stories and legends.
The proposal by Elena Bellantoni (Vibo Valentia, 1975) takes its inspiration from the film Nostalghia by the Russian director Andrei Tarkovskij, the story of Andrej Gorčakov, a Soviet poet who knows the old Domenico, a man considered mad by all because, several years prior, he shut himself in his house with his family for seven years waiting for the end of the world

"Bellantoni begins with an instant, a distant view, a detail, a sign in the crowd: 'Think! Tomorrow the world ends- writes #ledalunghi - a warning, from which this researcher of existences, takes inspiration for the homage to the profound and revolutionary poetry of the director and his valiant anti-heroe. Through her work #elenabellantoni reflects on the months that have just gone by, thinking of the change that all this will cause to society.
Gianni Moretti (Perugia, 1978) tells of the revolution of the most frail and their courage to face life and others' gaze in the most adverse conditions, maintaining their ability to keep from falling, so as not to become invisible to themselves first of all and to remain united with that red thread that integrates them with the primary meaning of life: freedom.
