I had the extreme pleasure and the great honor of meeting in person the artist Luciano Longo, a visionary of other times, a man a bit angular like that rock that he sometimes finds himself sculpting, as blunt as the wine he likes to drink in moderation perhaps a little exaggerated compared to the customs of these parts, robust as the wood that he prefers to carve rather than other materials with which it is equally at ease and with which it has composed the variety of its works.
Last Saturday morning, at around 11:30 we finally closed another chapter of our "Anguaneide". After 21 days as being honored guests of the "Spazio Zephiro" in Castelfranco Veneto we set the "Sipario" with a small presentation of what the future will hold for our mythological and beautiful creatures.
Sunday the 5th of May at 17:00 we inaugurated the Exhibit "ANGUANEIDE - MEMORIA DEL FUTURO" at the "Chiostro di San Francesco". This Exhibit gets together three artists, Luciano Longo (Sculptor), Patrick Comiotto (Photographer) and Lucio Carraro (Writer) as well as Beppe Agostini with his Gastronomic Creations for the launch.
Starting from the tale of the Anguane, a mythological water creature typical of the alpine regions, the Exhibit intends to recall once again everyone's attention to what happened during the end of Last October around the Dolomites and in particular in the Belluno Province: a call to the "short memory" of mankind and it's ease in forgetting quickly the disasters that are provoked to the "Mother Earth", through his continuous and devastating destructive action against it. Alll of this causing pollution and climate changes at an alarmingly increasing rate.
We have spent the day, Luciano, Tomaso and I, setting up the exhibit at the "Chiostro di San Francesco" in the city of Treviso (TV) as I was mentioning on my last post, this will be running from the 4th of May 2019 until the 14th and there will be an official presentation on sunday the 5th at 17:00 (there was a little change in plan as originally it was supposed to be in the morning...) with a few surprises that we hope you will like if you come and pay a visit.
