In addition to the emblematic Pop Art artists, David Salle, Felix Gonzalez Torres, Jean Michel Basquiat, Jeff Koons, Julian Schnabel and Keith Haring are also represented. Under the curatorship of Dolores Durán Ucar, the exhibition – which has already been held in South Korea and Spain – was designed, produced and performed by Art For You, and will be open until January 5, 2020.
The exhibition Rubens: Ercole e Deianira. Capolavori dalle collezioni italiane curated by Anna Maria Bava, Director of the Sabauda Gallery in Turin, with the cooperation of Cristina Carrillo de Albornoz de Fisac has been promoted by Fondazione Terzo Pilastro – Internazionale and organised by Poema, Comediarting and Arthemisia, under the aegis of the City of Seville.
Two of the most important masterpieces by Peter Paul Rubens, indisputable leader of seventeenth-century Flemish art, have arrived in Spain from Italy: Hercules in the Garden of the Hesperides and Deianira delivering the fatal tunic to the Fury. The two large canvases kept in the Sabauda gallery at the Musei Reali in Turin will be exhibited in Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrij in Seville from the 4th of April to the 22nd of September 2019.
The exhibition is part of a wider project titled ‘Masterpieces from Italian collections’ which from now on will bring several masterpieces belonging to the most important Italian museums to the beautiful setting of the house-museum Palacio de Lebrija, tracing a fil rouge with the precious exhibits kept there.
The exhibition proposes a direct comparison between the artworks from Italy and the mosaics and sculptures belonging to the unique collection of the Sevillian palace. Hercules and Deianira are the protagonists who engage in dialogue with the mythical figures that populate the mosaics’ decorations, the arabesques in the patio and the classical Greco-Roman marble busts kept in the museum.
Scholar and Humanist with a voracious intellect, Rubens was close to Spain due to his friendship with another great baroque painter, Diego de Velázquez and because he served the courts of Europe including the Spanish court. His two masterpieces recount two episodes of the stories of Hercules.
In the first imposing canvas the hero is depicted when, having slain the guardian snake Ladon, he picked the golden apples that were kept in the garden of the Hesperides, to perform his eleventh labour. He leans his right arm on the wooden club that he made to face the first labour to slay the Nemean lion and he is wearing its skin, which together with the club became his main attribute. Hercules triumphantly crushes the head of the savage snake lying lifeless at his feet, whilst its limb still clasps the club in a last attempt to resist the demigod’s superhuman strength.
In the second majestic painting, Deianira, the wife of Hercules (who looks like Ruben’s second wife, Hélène Fourment), is depicted looking upwards paying attention to the words whispered by the Fury, the snake-haired goddess of vengeance, who leaning towards her offers her the bloody tunic of Nessus the centaur. Unaware that the blood was poisoned and believing instead that it was a love potion that would help her to win back her husband, who was enamoured with Iole, Deianira subsequently gave the tunic to Hercules, which caused his atrocious death and she committed suicide out of remorse.
A new exhibition target #ArtEverywhere by ComediArting has opened last Thursday 6 September, in the NorteShopping.
One of the bigger Shopping Center in Portugal. The project is dedicated to the theme of the Circus by Fernand Léger.
The exhibition “The Circus” Fernand Léger is a series of 52 lithographs, original and signed, which are part of the ‘livre d’artiste “, published in 1950, by request of his friend Tériade, publisher and writer very well known in France in theTwentieth Century. A permanent spectacle that brings us into the world of Léger and its evolution in art, whose culminating point is represented by this series.
Adds charm to a setting in the shape of a star and blue and white tones, the structure that houses the exhibition – designed and created by the FAHR021.3 studios – presents an experiential journey in the work of one of the great Artist f the Twentieth Century, that has been able to represent the circus art like no other. An admirer of the art of Léger, was also the former Portuguese secretary of State for Culture, Jorge Barreto Xavier, who spoke at the inauguration.
We are so honored that Sarah Jessica Parker, during her visit to Noto did not miss the exhibitions dedicated to Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo, produced by Gianni Filippini hosted at the Convitto delle Arti – Noto Museum. The American actress, on holiday in Sicily with her husband Matthew Broderick and daughters, arrived at the show early this afternoon and visited the two floors of the building that houses the 208 works by Pablo Picasso, and the 80 images from the greatest photographers of the time to the great Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo. Thank you Sarah J.!

An exhibition entirely realized with the most famous bricks in the world.
The event is the first exhibition that has been permitted by the Denmark Lego Group to use the LEGO title.
The exhibition is divided into six sections and uses a total of 1.016 million pieces. It features various themes ranging from ancient and medieval Rome, modern cities and outer space. There are even works that have taken several years to build, which are so grand that they are breathtaking.
Though LEGO comes from Denmark, the sub-title of the exhibition is “From Italy to Seoul,” because most of the works in the exhibition have been created by Romabrick, an Italian LEGO user community. Romabrick, one of the oldest LEGO user communities in Europe, is mostly from Rome and creates LEGO pieces with the certification of LEGO. “Some of our members come from engineering and architecture backgrounds, which adds to reality,” said Romabrick with pride.
The exhibition first opened in Italy at the end of 2016 and created a huge sensation. Some 500,000 people across Europe visited the exhibition.f
For the first time, will be visible the reproduction of the Eagle’s Nest, an impregnable stronghold of the TV series Game of Thrones.
From the Opening of Peter Kim – “On the edge of the shape”
The Korean artist Peter Kim at the Bilotti Museum Villa Borghese Orangery in Rome
June 22 to November 4 2018.
Rome, 21 June 2018. Vases and shapeless skeins of colored threads. Especially the Vase, as an archetypal form, a timeless location in which to store the memory of the world, a form which separates and includes, where the finite and infinite converge.
Promoted by Roma Capitale, Department of Cultural Growth-Cultural Heritage Authority of the City of Rome, conceived and curated by Maria Giovanna Musso, supported by De Berg and organized by Comediarting, the exhibition of the Korean artist Peter Kim arrives in Rome in preview at the Carlo Bilotti Museum in Villa Borghese. Zètema Culture Project museum services.
Peter Kim, a Korean artist currently based in the United States, trained in Asia and Europe. His works have been exhibited in several museums and galleries in France, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Belgium, Mexico, Serbia etc.
His work combines inspirations from both the Eastern and Western symbolic universes.
His expressive research is characterized by a constant reminder to the archetypal themes of memory, of fractures in time and strains from the present, with particular reference to the relationship between nature and culture.
Kim chooses the line as a vehicle to access the deepest folds of reality. In his work the repeated line is used as a visual mantra, a gestural obsession which affects the space and builds a web intended to annex reality. Like a drop digging a stone, or a sound expanding into whirlpools, the lines thicken up until they fill the void, wrapping it up and giving it a contour from which the figure takes shape.
The Bilotti exhibition presents a selection of Kim’s work mainly dedicated to the archetypal theme of the vessel, along with a series of drawings and some more matter oriented works (shapeless bundles of colored threads), placed in a thematic frame that enhances both the character of the venue and the peculiarity of an artist still little known in Italy.
Along with some videos providing a deeper insight into Kim’s artistic career, the works chosen for this exhibition are those in which the artist explores the memory of a suspended time, lingering at the edges of reality, insisting on the limits of the figure and the void that it outlines, on the brink of shape where the fate of things is decided.
This exhibition, curated by Maria Giovanna Musso, is dedicated to the relationship between form and emptiness, and in particular to archetypal theme of the vessel.
