On Thursday, January 27th at 6 p.m., Pastificio Cerere Foundation starts with Raphäel Zarka the first appointment of Postcard from…, a project in which the artists will realize a 400x300cm billboard, as the ones of advertisement. The event, in collaboration with A.P.A. – Agenzia Pubblicità Affissioni, is curated by Marcello Smarrelli, Art Director, and it is part of the exhibitions programme of Pastificio Cerere Foundation, that is centred on utilising art as an educational tool for different social and cultural environments.
The first billboard, entitled Pianta del Cretto e altri lavori(2011), is realized by Raphäel Zarka and it’s the right occasion for reflecting on an art work that has inspired his research, the Grande Cretto by Alberto Burri, an environmental sculpture realized by the master of Informal Art in the 80ies in Gibellina, a village in the Belice Valley destroyed by the earthquake of 1968. The Grande Cretto is composed by big white concrete blocks divided by deep cracks that reconstruct the urban plan of the village, with its little streets.
In the exposition space of Pastificio Cerere Foundation, as a continuum with the art works distributed in the city, it will be projected, during the opening, the latest video on the Cretto realized by the artist, entitled Gibellina Vecchia.
