Pastificio Cerere Foundation is glad to present the first appointment with the mural painting project of Santiago Morilla, entitled Nidi. The exhibition will open on Wednesday – march 24th – and it is the first part of a multiple expositions cycle that continues on may and september 2010.
The entire project, curated by Federica Forti, was born to inquire into the relation between man and architecture through figurative art: “[…] Buildings are sacred or debunked, converted or reused, some were demolished, others have become icons of a great past. Rome is a spectator of this phenomenon as a living museum in open air; but why do we construct?”(Federica Forti).
The exhibition Nidi was born by this remark: three appointments in six months (march– may–semptember) and three different spots of the city selected to be the right site for the art works (Pastificio Cerere Foundation, Accademy of Spain and CO2 contemporary Art Gallery). In these places it would be possible to follow the development of Santiago’s work: three moments of creativity united by a conceptual thread that fulfil his artistic research in Rome.
During the third and last show in September, a catalogue will be presented containing a text written by the curator and all the images of Santiago’s mural paintings.
