Open Doors at Tenuta Dello Scompiglio

XIX Contemporary Arts Day
free admission to the permanent installations and to the temporary exhibitions 

Saturday 7 October 2023 Tenuta Dello Scompiglio, located in Vorno (Capannori, Lucca - Italy), participates in the XIX Contemporary Arts Day, organised every year by AMACI. The event is dedicated to contemporary arts and allows free admission in contemporary centres all over Italy.

On 1st October, three exhibitions opened at the Tenuta Dello Scompiglio: Reverse, by Chiara Bettazzi; RUBEDO and On the corner by Cecilia Bertoni. They examine some of the hidden sides of reality. Although a good part of what happens may be incomprehensible or inexplicable, we often prefer to cling to the safety of the perceptible and the rational, drawing on any explanation that can solve any doubt immediately. However, there is always a hidden side to everything, or to be more precise, an unseen side that, in most cases, has much greater importance than that which is visible. At the expense of the frequent dichotomies with which the understanding of reality is defined, both sides (visible and invisible, body and soul, static and in transformation, true and false) are inextricably linked and the one cannot exist or be defined without the presence of the other. In this sense, the three exhibitions, albeit with very different approaches and intentions, question any clear dialectic between these polarities, investigating the intermediate zones and inviting us to reflect on how the absence of defined dividing limits is precisely the condition in which we manage to live with the insecurities and fragilities inherent in every human being.

The exhibition “Reverse” takes shape from the idea of still life as a pictorial genre, linking it to its genesis and its evolution in the course of art history. The exhibition space, sectioned asymmetrically, generates two apparently opposing points of view, which become respectively the front and back of the work, referring in this case to the painter’s canvas and the tradition that sees the birth of still life painting on the back of the canvas.

RUBEDO and On the corner, by Cecilia Bertoni. In completely different terms, Cecilia Bertoni examines the relationship between living and dying, between the body as a prison and the transition of the soul as liberation, through two works that mirror and reflect each other, starting from a dissolving boundary. “RUBEDO” is an enveloping video installation in the exhibition space that draws on the theme of death and dying, but also tells of the relevance and instability of living, in an individual and collective sense, in its affinities with the mysteries and the imagery of the alchemical process. A unique environment surrounds the visitors and transports them to a disembodied elsewhere, in which the transition and transformation of every daily gesture becomes a ritual. The video “On the corner”, originally presented in 2019 as part of the homonymous performance, is now presented as archive version and here recalls the theme from another perspective: the body is accommodating but it can also become inhospitable because of a physical pain that imprisons us, isolates us in an increasingly limited, unstable and lonely space, from which we would like to escape.
