The Foundation Alfio Puglisi Cosentino offers at Palazzo Valle, in the heart of Catania, from 6 February to 12 June 2011, a major exhibition curated by Carla Accardi Luca Massimo Barbero .
absolutely unrepeatable will be an exhibition: the artist, in fact, it is doubly protagonist with his works but also with his personal interpretation of the architecture and spaces of the historic building, a masterpiece of Vaccarini. A major exhibition-installation, therefore, where each room will be characterized differently, according to the report that Carla Accardi perceives between his work and the architecture of the seat intended to receive them.
Along this path through the palace designed by the artist, are intertwined and each other in an ideal order his early work on the dialogue between space, color and sign up to the experimental sicofoil of transparent surfaces, on which he paints, and joint installations large.

Carla Accardi (Trapani, 1924) lives and works in Rome since 1946. He participated in the Rome group Form since 1947 and is considered one of the protagonists of Italian abstract art since World War II: Since 1948 has participated on several occasions at the Venice Biennale. His work is based on the fruitful interaction between sign, size, light and color, branching into outputs ranging from painting to installation.

The first rooms of the exhibition will be devoted to the articulation of what may be called the "chromatic signs" of Accardi, which begin to proliferate on the canvases of the early fifties in free and extended configurations, and then take the middle of the decade, the characteristic duotone of positive / negative, which determines the area between black and white. A deliberate chronological gap, in the same room, brings together these works with the installation Labyrinth House of 1999-2000, which traveled by the Plexiglas signs is crossed by blacks and whites, suggesting a direct comparison between the expression of branched seasons Accardi.
After a room dedicated to the series of works centered development, called "round" or "brains", the exhibition will focus on the design of the sign in grids and regular rhythm, and today you can read the extraordinary relevance and color is linguistic field. For these reasons, the exhibition explores in a new way as never before and the physicality of the dialogue between sign and transparency in the work of Accardi: it focuses in particular on the works carried out on sicofoil, ranging from works on rectangular or square frame, with hints shaped frames installed, the actual achievements in key environmental impacts beyond the painting. To underline this tension
environmental work of Accardi, the entire route of the exhibition is conceived as a path in the building that communicates with the physicality of its halls, including recent works created for the occasion, as the great of SURFACE ceramics designed for her yard. The route of exposure will also be dotted with facilities located in relation to the architecture and works on the walls, such as Rolls (1965-69), Cilindrocono (1972), Screens (1972), the series of cones in earthenware (2004), are divided in vain (2006).
Upstairs, the exhibition presents a special hall dedicated to large works painted by the artist to his own room at the Venice Biennale in 1988, culminating with Pasos de Pasaje (2007), great work that achieves the fusion of architecture and mark: painted stoneware tile floor, with signs alternating green and cobalt on white background, that they also point to a strong relationship with the creative tradition of applied art in Sicily and was built to duet with Gianna Nannini, who it was designed to track its presence as a specific sound parallel to the visual.

Made in collaboration with Studio Accardi, headquarters of the artist, and RAM mobile radio art of Rome, which is its main gallery of reference, the exhibition will also have the extraordinary opportunity to showcase the new catalog of being publication, edited by Germano Celant, besides being the first major new exhibition reflected the artist in Italy after a series of significant international exhibitions that have been dedicated, like the one at the Centro Cultural Recoleta in Buenos Aires.
During the exhibition, a monograph will be published in color by Luca Massimo Barbero, published by Silvana Editoriale, through a rich iconographic woven unpublished essays and a selection of documentary materials, intends to propose a course of focused reading of the work of Accardi, dedicated to the relationship between sign and transparency.
the second floor will be an exhibition

How Long Gonna Take A Std Test

renewed Villa Bellini in Catania opened September 23, 2010

from my article published on November 6 on the weekly SiciliaOggi.net
Perhaps this is the case to win on ebay some rare postcards dating back to the 50 on Villa Bellini in Catania, on closer examination because the redesign recently delivered to the citizens of Catania, we realize that the garden of Catania it is no longer what it once was. The "Villa", half of the parents who accompanied their children dressed up as Zorro or Fairy, to throw confetti in times of carnival, riding bicycles, prams, pedal sidecar, a walk on the backs of ponies for hire. There was the old lady of the train, with a handkerchief on his head, which housed the children in their cars, making him do a ride round. There were ducks, geese and swans in the pond, the monkey in the cage, and won the Asian elephant from the circus and the calendar with the date written on a huge green lawn, which change every day thanks to the gardeners are ready, which made him look with magical powers in the eyes of children. Il Giardino Bellini strongly desired, in the eighteenth century, with labyrinths, hedges, fountains, statues, fountains, Prince Ignazio Paternò Castello di Biscari, then bought by the city of Catania from the heirs of the Prince, and then redesigned by architect Landolina, who ordered the 'enlargement. Since the mid-seventies, he began a slow decline but inexhaustible. The animals disappeared for various reasons, often for vandalism. Park maintenance was progressively reduced because they are too greedy. Wherever barriers and areas off limit it showed neglect and decay. Then, finally, the good news: the approval of the project "Restoration and enhancement of the historic green" Giardino Bellini's "Better usability is also the novelty spectacular", so named since 2003. The grandeur of the financial resources available to the European Community under the required POR Sicilia 2000-2006, worth € 15 million, had triggered the frenzy of the twisting of shopping centers, bathtub 5500m.qe other gadgets provided from the initial design of the architect Gale Marina, now chief of staff appointed by the Mayor rejected in 2004 by a petition signed in no time more than 16,000 citizens, with the intent to do so within the scope of a restoration and conservative style that would preserve the historical identity and memory consolidated with the public. In the years after still trouble for the work, problems of communication and transparency with the European Community, contracts awarded and skipped, legal disputes, closing of the Garden for four years, the discovery of some of the original structures of the labyrinth Biscari before the earthquake of 1693, of a bathtub, a scale, some parts of the walls. And then there is a cabin there by Enel sixties and still raised and lowered costs, lost funding, money and finished in the area cesarini found or diverted other expenses such as municipal councilor of the PDL said Manlio Messina "the 2 and a half million euro recovered were originally intended for insulation and safety of the ceilings of the municipal schools." In 2009 it was reopened part of the Villa, meanwhile, arose spontaneously committees of citizens who demanded transparency and legality in the work over to know how many millions of euro of funds had already been spent. Then 15 Municipal Councillors of the left and right did approve the establishment of a commission of inquiry to shed light on the costs and delays, but this was short-lived because it was deemed by the PDL is an overlap with an investigation already initiated by the Prosecutor's Office Catania said that the purpose of official acts to the Mayor, but to no avail because it was discovered that, in turn, for a year the Financial Police had seized them. As a final act was the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union took place the restoration of the Villa, but the City neglected to publish the notice of work on the Italian Official Gazette (and European) which had to appear in companies that had participated in the race procedure. The European Commission asked for official acts, but the City took his time and finally said, justifying the impossibility of transmission of the documentation for technical problems (a broken printer). The likelihood that European funding € 15 million, of which the terms used by only 12, should be returned for future exceedances of implementation (the work was completed by 30 June 2009) the Chief Engineer of the City, Pina Testa ensures' the amount awarded by the European Community should not be returned because the works are due to delays in legal proceedings, interference with Enel and the discovery of some structures of the labyrinth Biscari. "But the endless mysteries of the work still hanging over the operation, For example, always Councillor Manlio Messina, who continues to insist, as also the parent company of The Right-Sicilian Alliance, Nello Musumeci, the usefulness of a committee Investigation of the City Council despite ongoing legal action, raises "someone will have to explain why such project in the works it was said that the existing irrigation system was fine and hours were spent money to make a new one." On 23 September the Mayor Stancanelli has returned to the Villa Bellini Catania announcing "we will have the guards and the nature of civil protection volunteers in addition to city police and the cameras that will monitor the safety of those who frequent it." But these guards and volunteers, no track, only three traffic police complaining among other things, not having a suitable place to stay. In the northern hill, where there was Casina Chinese, burned down in 2001 as a floor was added to a layer of sand, as well as a number of cypress trees are not provided. South of the hill, where stands the liberty of the music stage, the floor has been replaced with gravel, not practicable for prams and wheelchairs for the disabled. Then seem to disappear into thin air the 30th vigorous trees of Sophora japonica, springing from scratch instead of tree species that had never been included in the Villa and have replaced the hedges and Mediterranean species existing in almost all the beds of the avenue of famous men . Imposing the presence of a multitude of cypress trees to represent a green wall next to the eye attached to a al'altro labyrinth. Place iron benches in north and south sides of the hill. The square was placed in the nineteenth-century version of that is covered with sand, not easy to run around children. Curiosa the solution for all ponds, scattered by small metal sculptures that represent birds, cranes, herons, birds as, in short, the triumph of the virtual. The cleaning of the Villa does not seem impeccable species remain visible because of vandalism on the trunks of trees soiled, damaged furniture of the infant school, is the responsibility of the municipality, said that the Director Dr. Morabito be daily, while the bathrooms Multiservice deals some problems with pressure those at the southern hill. To detect the presence of some stray dog \u200b\u200bnow at home.
