Considering the world crisis, it is hardly necessary to emphasize the centrality of the proposed cultural debate in the Italian/European art scene. “Unemployment,” “recession,” “default spreads,” “stagflation,” these are just examples of the changed language, not only in the media but for the common man. Problems, initially represented in the cold graphs of economists, gradually became terribly tangible, real, alive upon the skin of the citizens.
The international reaction coincided with the substantial commissionary by the leading European nations of the countries most in need and – especially in Italy – with the rise of technocratic governments, as if to emphasize the inadequacy of the politic to find answers that would solve such complex problems.The spirit of the show will be to promote the expression of different opinions from the artists, free from a political prejudice – not rhetoric – and to be able to look beyond the traditional and unneeded technical/economical approach. Therefore it will present a point of view that firmly concentrates the attention back to the concept of human-centredness.
Each artist will be participating with a work made on the theme “2012: ART AND THE ECONOMIC CRISIS”, expressing their peculiar point of view.
“We are delivering into the hands of our children (who are called “big babies or losers”), a world where a nation can fail, while insurance companies or a banks cannot “(Curzio Maltese). Consequently, through the above reflection, a human approach to the issues seems to appear impossible to postpone. The themed show is taking place between the 11th – 21th of December 2012 in the prestigious setting of Castel dell ‘Ovo in Naples, a magical place that, from the island of Megaride, seems to dominate the entire Mediterranean.
