A Constructed World


Le Fonti at San Gimignano


History 3 - the Constructed World event in San Gimigano

 

Besides the six artists which have realised their works in the six cities involved in the project, Arte all'Arte offers other special events. This year the Australian Geoff Lowe and Jacqueline Riva, propose a double intervention: a real underwater painting with dimensions of 122 and 152 cm, which will be fixed at the bottom of the medieval font in San Gimignano, and an installation "History 3", by the Centre on Classic in via San Giovanni in San Gimignano, where the observer will find two monitors showing the video works by the two artists, placed in a setting constituted by mattresses, cushions, pictures and magazines, so as to make the spectator as comfortable as possible.

Lowe & Riva want to create a place of relaxation and reflection where the role of the spectator can be freed from the usual timing and modality for the fruition of works of art, getting involved as a part of it. It is not the first time that these artists create projects which, although with different modalities, try to find new way of relation and of involvement, so as to deprive the spectator of a uniquely passive and contemplative role.
