From 21st April to 20th May 2018, the exhibition of Andrea Santarlasci 'Confluenze', curated by Ludovico Pratesi, will be held at the Church of Santa Maria della Spina, consisting of two unpublished installations: 'Where what disappears is manifested' 2018 and 'Without title (declivity) '2018.

 

Promoted by the Municipality of Pisa in collaboration with the University of Pisa and the SpazioTempo Association of Michela Rizzo, with the support of the Galleria Collicaligreggi and Atlante Servizi Culturali, the exhibition is the fourth in a series of site specific interventions national and international artists made inside the church.

 

In the research of Andrea Santarlasci a priority moment concerns a deeper meditation on the theme of the place and on the relationships between man and his environment. On this occasion, Santarlasci developed a project conceived in close relationship with architecture, but also with its surrounding environment, both historical and natural.

 

This intervention leads us to reflect on the possibilities of memory and imagination, capable of simultaneously overlapping and intertwining different times and spaces.

 

In the installation entitled 'Where that disappears is manifested' 2018, the artist evokes the ancient confluence of the Auser river, through a neon sign that shows a fragment of the Greek philosopher Heraclitus.

 

The second work, 'Senza titolo (declivio)' 2018 is a nine meter long trunk, recovered on the beaches at the mouth of the Arno, resting on the ground in an oblique position and hovering on some stairs, almost to evoke a deposition, a fall , a loss or death itself.

 

The inauguration is Saturday, April 21 at 18, admission is free. For info: cultura@comune.pisa.it
