Matthieu Laurette
Incontro di venditori ambulanti a Roma


Installazione animata
curated by Valentina Ciarallo and Pier Paolo Pancotto

with the support of the French Embassy in Italy

Tuesday November 24, 2009 @ 7.00 - 9.00 pm

The Complesso Monumentale Santo Spirito in Sassia together with Giubilarte Eventi present their ongoing contemporary art project entitled S P I R I T O curated by Valentina Ciarallo and Pier Paolo Pancotto. The project includes works and performances of important national and international artists, many showing their work for the first time in Rome as a solo project. The artists are confronted with a unique and exceptional exhibition space at the Complesso Santo Spirito, which was originally constructed during the 8th century. B.C., and subsequently rebuilt under the pontificate of Pope Sisto IV with the actual structure dating back to the second half of the 15th century. As part of the S P I R I T O project, each artist has been commissioned to create a site specific project that will differ in terms of length (one or more days) and type of work (visual, musical, theatrical).

The fifth project features Matthieu Laurette (Villeneuve Saint Georges, 1970). His work has been widely exhibited internationally. Solo exhibitions include Gaudel de Stampa (2008), Deweer Gallery, Otegem, Belgium (2007), Yvon Lambert, Paris (2005) and Soirée Nomade, Paris, Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain (1998); Group shows include Au delà du Spectacle, Paris, MNAM-Centre Pompidou (2000); 49 Biennale di Venezia (2001); Form Follows Ficiton, Castello di Rivoli (2001); GNS, Paris, Palais de Tokyo (2003); Day Labor, New York, PS1 (2005); Notre Histoire, Paris, Palais de Tokyo (2006); Les Archipels Réinventés, Paris, MNAM-Centre Pompidou (2009). In 2003 he received the “Prix Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard”.

For S P I R I T O, Laurette presents the project “Incontro di venditori ambulanti a Roma”, which takes place for only one night. Laurette will suggest his own reflection of the social and cultural context of the city in relationship with the history of the monumental complex. It will be a personal interpretation of the Roman landscape, where the beauty of the ancient meets the daily, multiethnic and chaotic reality that is in constant motion.

A cura di Valentina Ciarallo e Pier Paolo Pancotto

Prosegue presso il Complesso Santo Spirito in Sassia in Roma il progetto S P I R I T O ideato e a cura di Valentina Ciarallo e Pier Paolo Pancotto e promosso da Giubilarte Eventi che, avviato nel novembre 2008, propone alcune delle presenze più significative nel panorama creativo nazionale ed internazionale (alcune delle quali approdano per la prima volta a Roma o in Italia in forma individuale) mettendole a confronto con uno spazio espositivo eccezionale, lo storico complesso ospedaliero fondato nell’ottavo secolo d.C. e definito nel suo aspetto attuale nella seconda metà del Quattrocento sotto il pontificato di Sisto IV. Ciascun autore è chiamato a ideare un progetto site specific variabile sotto il profilo della durata (uno o più giorni) e della natura operativa (visivo, performativo, plastico, musicale…).
Il quinto appuntamento è stato affidato a Matthieu Laurette (Villeneuve Saint Georges, 1970), la cui presenza sulla scena espositiva internazionale comprende, tra l’altro, mostre personali presso le gallerie di Parigi Yvon Lambert, Parigi (2005); Gaudel de Stampa (2008) e la partecipazione a Soirée Nomade, Parigi, Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain (1998); Au delà du Spectacle, Parigi, MNAM-Centre Pompidou (2000); 49 Biennale di Venezia (2001); Form Follows Ficiton, Castello di Rivoli (2001); GNS, Parigi, Palais de Tokyo (2003); Day Labor, New York, PS1 (2005); Notre Histoire, Parigi, Palais de Tokyo (2006); Les Archipels Réinventés, Parigi, MNAM-Centre Pompidou (2009). Nel 2003 ha ricevuto il “Prix Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard”.
Per S P I R I T O Laurette propone Incontro di venditori ambulanti a Roma, una installazione animata, dal sapore felliniano ma dal retrogusto amaro, attraverso la quale offre una personale interpretazione del paesaggio romano, nel quale convivono bellezza dell’antico e realtà quotidiana, caotica, multietnica ed in continua mutazione. Con la sua “installazione nell’installazione”, così come egli stesso la definisce, l’artista delinea una propria lettura del contesto sociale e culturale della città tenendo ampiamente conto del Complesso di Santo Spirito, della sua storia e del clima al quale appartiene.

Martedì 24 novembre 2009 ore 19.00-21.00

Arriving at Santo Spirito In Sassia

The origins of the Complesso Santo Spirito in Sassia date back to A.D. 727 when the Saxon king Ina founded the “Schola Saxonum” (from where the word “Sassia” derives), a refuge centre for pilgrims arriving in Rome to visit the Apostle Peter’s tomb. The Complesso, destroyed by fire and pillage, was rebuilt by Marchionne d’Arezzo in 1198 under the pontificate of Innocent III. This pope entrusted the Order of the Hospital of Santo Spirito, established by Guido di Montpellier, with the objective to create a hospital to help the sick, the poor and the “proietti” (abandoned and illegitimate babies). Its subsequent reconstruction and enlargement was apparently carried out by the architect Baccio Pontelli between 1471 and 1478. Such work was due to an initiative of Pope Sixtus IV, who was named “the great builder” because of he commissioned countless works. One of these works is the Corsia Sistina (Sistine Ward) adorned with a cycle of frescoes commemorating the history of the hospital, its rebuilding and the biography of this famous Franciscan pope. The majestic octagonal Tiburio divides the Sistine Ward into two large halls. In its centre, there is an altar attributed to Palladio carrying inside a painting by Carlo Maratta (17th century).

Spirito's dream team: Artistic Director and Spirito co-curator Valentina Ciarallo, Legal Affair & International Clients Relations Alberto Ciarallo and Spirito co-curator Pier-Paolo Pancotto.

[SYMPOSIUM] "FELLINI AND THE SMALL SCREEN" @ JEU DE PAUME IN PARIS

--

Federico Fellini with Marlene Dietrich and Bette Davis lookalikes.

Fellini and the small screen
Symposium
07 November 2009 14h30 to 17h30

with Sam Stourdzé, curator of the exhibition, Jean-Paul Manganaro, writer and translator, Franco La Cecla, anthropologist, Andrea Crozzoli, film critic, and the artists Matthieu Laurette and Christian Jankowski.

Small screen = bigger audience. This paradox of shrinking the image to TV size in order to have access to domestic space, and therefore a mass audience, has always inspired mixed feelings in the artists who have worked in the medium.

This symposium will start with a theoretical discussion of Fellini’s love-hate relationship with television and the mass media in general, then continue with a projection of works by the guest artists, and conclude with a round table discussion.



Saturday 7 November, 2.30 pm. 3 €, free for members (places available on a first-come first-served basis).
