Projects & Events

ETHICANDO Association organises the personal exhibition entitled RAUL VS BASQUIAT by the artist RAUL, at its ETHICANDO GALLERY exhibition spaces, Viale Luigi Majno n. 38 - 20129 Milan, under the artistic curatorship of Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico.

RAUL, an international artist of Abruzzese origin, currently living between London (UK) and Ibiza (ES), with artworks exhibited all over the world (Europe, USA, Japan, Australia, China), creatively dwells on the art of a giant of the 20th century, Jean-Michel Basquiat.

The New York artist came into contact in the 1980s with the Pescara-based gallerist Cesare Manzo, of whom after about twenty years RAUL became the main collaborator for more than a decade and then the heir to an immense relational heritage and experiences that involved the main artists and critics of the twentieth century, not only Italian.

Ethicando Gallery, from 10 to 14 April 204, hosts the exhibition of N. 35 works by RAUL, mostly inspired by Basquiat art, narrated and experienced by Cesare Manzo.

The exhibition also includes works from the author's Symbolist strand in continuous semiological and aesthetic evolution, with careful research into materials and situations of realisation and exhibit.

The initiative is promoted by Betting on italy (BOI) and Estro Digitale.

SUSTAINABILITY OF ART AND TERRITORIAL PROMOTION" with the artistic and scientific curatorship of Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico.

The event, which consists of a Discussion on the Sustainability of Art with the involvement of personalities from the institutions, academia and universities, the world of art and culture, professions and creative industries, will envisage the participation of parliamentary and government lecturers including Hon. Lorenzo Cesa (President of the Italian Delegation at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly), Sen. Roberto Marti (President 7th Comm. of the Senate of the Republic - Culture and Cultural Heritage, Public Education), Hon. Federico Mollicone (tbc), (President 7th Comm. of the Chamber of Deputies - Culture, Science and Education), , Hon. Saverio Congedo (Leader of the FdI Group, Commission VI - Finance, Member of the Antimafia Commission of the Chamber of Deputies), Hon. Andrea Caroppo (Member of the IX Commission for Transport, Posts and Telecommunications of the Chamber of Deputies), Mr. Giacomo Vigna (Head of Division V - Made in Italy and Creative Industries, Directorate General for Industrial Policy, Innovation and SMEs, Ministry of Business and Made in Italy).

The objective, in line with the UN's 2023 Agenda, is to investigate the best ways of promoting contemporary and historicised artistic production (monumental and artistic heritage) with the aim of enhancing the territory both in terms of building the social fabric in relation to the goals of sustainable development and in terms of protecting cultural identity in the era of globalisation.

Various mayors and administrators from the Salento region will intervene, bringing their specific testimony, parameterised to their local experiences. They will constitute a sort of case history useful for the Discussion so that the various scientific, cultural, and institutional lectures may find an immediate dialogue with those who act daily for the administration of the territories. A special focus will be placed on digital art and all the related problems of production, fruition, and communication that the incessant development of new technologies imposes on all the industry professionals.

The notion of sustainable art will be illustrated and argued with reference to the theoretical propositions contained in the book entitled 'The Artistic Experience of Tiziano Calcari. Creativity and Mourning in Sustainable Art' by Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico (Milan, Silvana Publishing, 2023), which will be presented at the event. Two works of art by Tiziano Calcari, a contemporary sustainable artist, will also be on display in the conference room.

On Wednesday 29 November 2023, at the Museo del Risorgimento in Milan, the inauguration of the event entitled SUSTAINABLE ART, organised by the Ethicando Association (www.ethicando.it), with the artistic and scientific curatorship of Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico (www.marcoeugeniodigiandomenico.com), was successfully held.

The event consisted of a conference on the sustainability of art, held on 29 November 2023 (10:30-13:00) in the Conference Room of the Museo del Risorgimento, and an exhibition of works (No. 27) by the artist Tiziano Calcari in the Sala Vetri of the same Museum (opening: 29.11.2023, 14:30; closing: 01.12.2023, 17:00; open to the public during Museum opening hours).

The initiative enjoyed the patronage of the Indian Chamber of Commerce for Italy (www.icci.it), the California Surf Museum in Oceanside (CA - USA) (https://surfmuseum.org), the Fondazione Antonietta Viganone ETS (www.fondazioneviganone.com), as well as the media support of Betting on Italy (BOI) (www.bettingonitaly.com), Silvana Editoriale (www.silvanaeditoriale.it), Giuffrè Francis Lefebvre's Rivista Arte e Diritto, Beesness Magazine (www.beesness.it), Estro Digitale.

The event was attended by the Councillor of the Municipality of Milan Filippo Barberis, the Mayor of the Municipality of Irma (BS) Mauro Bertelli, the President of the Foundation Antonietta Viganone ETS Francesco Fabbiani, the journalist Christian Gaston Illan (Beesness Magazine), the manager Severino Ricci representing the California Surf Museum, the coordinator of the Magazine Arte e Diritto Laura Castelli, the artist Tiziano Calcari and his son Paolo, as well as various other personalities from the world of culture and art.

During the conference, the contents of the book 'L'esperienza artistica di Tiziano Calcari. creatività e lutto nell'arte sostenibile' by Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico, published by Silvana Editoriale (2023), were epitomised and argued.

In this editorial work, the main philosophical theorisations on the subject of artistic creativity are reconstructed, from Plato and Aristotle to the present day, and the connections between art and mourning are analysed, both in terms of the elaboration of detachment and in terms of the sustainability of contemporary art.

A book dense with bibliographical references and precise quotations, a valid tool for university training on the subjects of reference, as well as a cultural study for critics and hermeneuts of art.

The very interesting aspect is represented by the circumstance that the various scientific theorisations (philosophical, psychological, sociological, economic, humanistic) find in the analysis of the artistic production of the Brescian artist Tiziano Calcari a concrete synthesis of immediate and fascinating intelligibility.

As, in fact, Di Giandomenico states in the volume's foreword, «This publication stems from a meeting with the artist Tiziano Calcari from Brescia during the great pandemic.

The vision of his works and his existential tales imbued with a deep love for his homeland (Val Trompia) and denied family affections - which find in artistic expression a sort of cathartic resolution - immediately captured my attention, stimulating a scientific reflection on themes that have always been the subject of theoretical elaboration, such as art, beauty, and creativity.

The focus is placed on affective 'detachment', i.e. mourning, understood as the traumatic and/or instantaneous interruption of any affective link (such as the death of a loved one, the end of a great friendship, moving to another place, etc.), and on its relationship with artistic creativity, which can become a privileged tool for metabolising it.

The main driver remains that of the sustainability of contemporary art, which has been the subject of analysis and in-depth study by the writer for almost thirty years, with its various psychological, anthropological, sociological, economic and technical-scientific interpretations [...]

Tiziano Calcari's art is a fine example of sustainable art, not so much for its multimedia style with a 20th-century allure, but rather for its creative and expressive processes, which, oblivious of digital technology, end up in a precisely sustainable artistic contemporaneity, in which art becomes an edifying instrument internal and external to human interiority; a real means of personal and social renewal, which is still thought of by institutions with a linear normative approach, so to speak 'post litteram', devoid of its intrinsic substantial spiral evolution.

This publication also contains images of 50 of Calcari's works of art, documenting his artistic progression and allowing the reader to experience first hand the artist's expressive Beauty, always hoping for a direct observation, which is the bearer of the most complete aesthetic involvement».

The symposium and the analysis of Tiziano Calcari's artistic production provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the sustainability of art, which is at the centre of the contemporary art debate.
