TO RESIST FOR RE/EXIST
international artistic project by Aurelio Fort and
Alfonso Lentini
It’s the boldest of the utopias, the most irreducible hope: to resist
against every kind of oppression, to exist again, to get back being women and
men free to claim the own life and history.
Mountains, rock, stones have a physical familiarity with the Resistance
not only because partisans and rebels have always crossed and lived these
places as a base for their fights, but also because, thanks to their shapes
casted toward each other, mountains recall themselves the idea of freedom.
Besides, the stones, the hail of stones, are the weapons of children, of
poor people, of outcasts.
In the occasion of the next celebration of the Liberation, beginning
from this considerations, we will carry out in the city of Belluno, gold medal for the Resistance, one
big Urban Exhibition.
·
The Art works on
mutations and on the multiplication of meanings, so with our project we want to
concentrate on the word Resistance in
order to trigger off a mechanism of resonance and proliferation of sense.
·
Connecting our action
with the crucial date of April 25, we want to bring out the principal meaning
that this word gained in our history of Italian citizens and, at the same time,
we want to arouse a reflection about different meanings that the word Resistance can assume today and about
the values that it can represent.
·
We invite artists and
citizens all over the world to participate, because we want that the Urban
Exhibition we are planning will be a collective
action, with which Belluno, protagonist city of the War of Liberation, will
become a welcome space, a collector of ideas and plurality; we think Resistance
is a universal symbol which tend to overcome the barriers among people.
·
If you want to
participate we ask you, as well as a joining our art project, to shoulder the responsibility on the
strength of the meaning and on the present value of the word “resistance”.
TO RESIST for RE/EXIST:
if, in the spirit of Fluxus and Mailart, you agree this universal
thought and this joyful and combative spirit of our artistic project, you are INVITED TO JOIN by sending the imprint of a finger of your hand impressed on paper
with any technique.
It will be applied together with
your name and the place of provenance with one of the stones that will build
the Exhibition. If you prefer, with the fingerprint, you can also send a stone,
providing that the dimensions are contained, more or less big as a handful.
Participations
will be shown little by little in the blog http://resisistereper.blogspot.it/ that
will document the various stages of the project until the final moment of the
April 25, 2013. The event will be publicized in the media and social networks
with all the names of the participants and co-authors.
