Andature III

At the Museo Marino Marini in Florence, Andature III, an exhibition featuring works by Helene Appel and Eva Marisaldi, opens to the public on Saturday, October 7, 2023, on the occasion of Florence Art Week. Andature is an interdisciplinary project born in 2020, curated by Marcella Cangioli and Antonella Nicola, in collaboration with the Cultural Association Città Nascosta and the Marino Marini Museum, under the patronage of the City of Florence and realized, in this third edition, thanks to the contribution of CONstruire srl, Italianroom srl, Mazzoni Casa srl and Laboratorio Sodini srl.

The first edition in 2021 had presented a series of new works created by Chiara Bettazzi and Daniela De Lorenzo that, starting from the unexpected period of suspension and fracture of the rhythm of life in daily life due to the pandemic, had triggered a reflection on themes such as time, cyclicity, chaos, entropy, order and disorder. The second edition in 2022 involved Elisabetta di Maggio and Sophie Ko in an equally successful dialogue between poetics and themes, between ancient and present-day art.

As in previous editions, the 2023 appointment maintains the format of the confrontation between two artists of different generations, Helene Appel and Eva Marisaldi, this time shifting the emphasis to the observation of reality, experience and the everyday, which are investigated and represented with an almost disorienting acuity and fidelity, on the one hand, and a multiplicity of poetic nuances, on the other. The curators have also chosen to expand the poetic dialogue between the two artists, not only by highlighting their languages and important links with the history of art-such as in previous editions-but by intending this time to weave, specifically, a liason with the works of the Marino Marini Museum collection, going to emphasize those sculptural and pictorial material elements and aspects that have interested Marino Marini, as well as the artists featured in ANDATURE III. Thus, pictorial and sculptural works, sound installations, videos and drawings are presented in which, proceeding by intuitions, inspirations or specific references, we will be able to recognize the artist's step, his time, his gaze, his unstoppable creative process.
