maggio 03, 2023 - Galleria Continua
‘Mitico’, Belmond’s artistic series in partnership with Galleria Continua, returns for its second season launching internationally with installations in Spain, Italy, UK, and Brazil
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Building on the success of its Italian debut in 2022, MITICO, an artistic collaboration between Belmond and internationally renowned art gallery #galleriacontinua, launches onto the global stage for its second season, presenting works by seven contemporary artists in seven of Belmond’s captivating grounds in Spain, Italy, UK, and Brazil.
The 2023 season showcases contemporary art installations at La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel, Mallorca; Le Manoir aux
Quat’Saisons, A Belmond Hotel, Oxfordshire; Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro; Villa Sant’Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare; as well as returning to Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina; Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel, Florence; and #castellodicasole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany.
This year’s installations focus on the interaction between human identity and the natural world, as well as the inevitable clash between technology and raw landscapes. By taking the unique views, gardens and facades of legendary Belmond properties as their backdrop and canvas, the art installations reframe these iconic vistas in a new light, giving the spectator a unique insight into our place in the world.
IDENTITY AND UPROOTING: ARCANGELO SASSOLINO AT LA RESIDENCIA, MALLORCA
Nestled in Mallorca’s UNESCO protected Sierra de Tramuntana, in the heart of the renowned artistic village of Deia, La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel is drenched in bohemian spirit, playing home to writers, artists and musicians seeking inspiration, for decades. Within this natural oasis and creative escape, Italian artist Arcangelo Sassolino’s work will stand in harsh juxtaposition. Hunger (2006/2007) features a hydraulic claw driven by an oil pump, moving like an oversized mechanical spider.
Through this oversized claw composed of large steel blades, the artist strips the industrial object of its function and context, placing it on a flat surface where it cannot gain traction - thus rendering it obsolete. The claw however continues its mechanical motions, desperately attempting to rip and uproot the ground beneath it - a slow and poetic dance that further nullifies its original strength. Although unable to uproot the beautiful surrounding landscape, the continuous lacerating motion of the claw leaves furrows on the concrete as if it is seeking to sculpt a new identity within La Residencia’s beautiful gardens. It is not lost on the viewer that when put to another use, the ancient olive groves that surround La Residencia would be at risk from this machine, which has now been made powerless by the artist.
The art installation will be available to view by guests and visitors alike, from 5 May until the end of October 2023
IDENTITY AND SOCIETY: YOAN CAPOTE AT GRAND HOTEL TIMEO AND VILLA SANT’ANDREA, SICILY
High up in the Taormina Hills, Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel offers a front row on the eternal island’s beauty. Here, artist Yoan Capote installs a selection of sculptures, including handcuffs encircling an olive tree, entitled “Stress”, “Self- portrait”, “Speechless”, “On our shoulders”, “Deriva”, and “Urban Nature”. These will be showcased throughout the hotel’s expansive gardens overlooking the force of nature that is Mount Etna volcano. In this environment, it’s impossible not to feel the full creative and destructive forces at play. These works represent acts of resistance, moments where human instinct is to revolt in the face of neglect or domination by global forces.
